It’s been nearly 2 weeks since we arrived home after our 7-week, multi-state adventure with BB, the 32-foot motorhome.

Well, that happened fast. Seven weeks after my husband and I talked seriously about a plan to purchase a motorhome, we’re currently on the road in our new-to-us Class A. In fact, we left our house in Colorado on August 29, and here it is August 31, and we’ve already traveled more than 600 miles […]

Twenty-one years of marriage deserves a little getaway, right — even in a pandemic? I say yes. Quent and I booked two nights at Gateway Canyons Resort, south of Grand Junction, Colorado, over our anniversary weekend earlier this month. Here’s the thing. I sort of spaced that this resort — actually located in the tiny […]
