Valley Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

6 days and 2012 miles later and we have finally arrived. Through rain, hail, wind, snow and lots of wind. Through fields, up and down mountains, and across the desert. Hot engines and cold nights. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....ok that might be a little too much. We have made it to our oasis in the desert and almost every...

It is Memorial Day. I am at home watching the rain come down with one eye, watching Memorial Day specials on television with the other eye, and my hands are keying a pre-departure message. I have done some internet reading on the history of the Menzies family in Scotland. There are family ties to the Stewart/Stuart royal line (Mary Queen of Scot...

We've been back in Arizona's Verde Valley since last week, and yesterday we finally got a chance to to head out for a day of sightseeing at Montezuma's Castle and the "Ghost City" of Jerome, which was formerly a huge copper mining operation. I took a couple hundred photos, which I haven't yet had a chance to review, so will do so and keep trying...

Home Sweet Home? Well you may be asking your self what the question mark is for. The truth is that I have no home, or at least, no house to speak of. For the first time since before I could vote I have no job, no school, and no house. I am, for all intensive purposes, a transient. Stop, wipe the tear, it is not a bad thing. For those of you who ...

This place was truly crazy.... we read about it in our guide book and it said that it looked as though Salvador Dali had designed the place. The rocks looked literally like they were melting. In the wrong state of mind this place could really scare you. We hung about for a bit and then hit the road for Capitol Reef. I would love to come back her...

We had big plans for today. We would start with this 12 mile drive through Sedona that is supposed to be amazing then do a jeep tour and finally dinner/show at this old west theatre. There was just one problem. In the middle of the night Keegan woke up with a temperature of 102. Of course Collin had it by this morning and was also sick to his st...

All in all a pretty quiet day. We are leaving in a few days for Acapulco. We needed to find a place to store the RV while we're gone, decide where we'll stay when we get back and try to figure out at what point we will head to California. In addition to working on our itinerary the boys got to do a little arts and crafts.(see pic) Kelly met a wo...

Well, I made it back from Florida last night. I can't tell you how anxious I was to get back to Kelly and the boys. I stayed busy while I was gone. Shot in St. Pete at HSN for 4 days and then did an infomercial in Miami before coming back. I was also able to get together with a few friends in West Palm and had dinner with my dad, step mom and br...

Greetings from the high desert of Arizona! After we homeschooled this morning, we set out for the PHX airport to pick up Chris. What an incredibly beautiful hour and a half drive it was south on I-17 to Phoenix. The boys and I stopped at a scenic overlook for a look and a picture. It was a little hazy, but an amazing wide angled view of the dese...

Today we have no choice but to leave for Arizona. The boys and I awoke early to get the RV ready to hit the road. We met our friends from Alaska for breakfast at 9:00am and said our last goodbyes as they headed for the airport to pick up their dad. It's a beautiful sunny, warm, dry day as we pull out of Albuquerque. It will take us about 6 hours...
