Nomadic Journey

Hello from the other side of the country. We are now in Oregon visiting my Grandma Kay and plan to see Crater Lake today. We have been without good wifi and we have also been traveling almost everyday, or so exhausted seeing the sights that I haven't had the energy to post.

The first part of our travels we have donned the "nomadic journey". Traveling to 6 states in 10 days and visiting 6 National Parks has been exhausting, sometimes challenging but mostly amazing. To be able to share these memories and sights with my family is priceless and worth every early morning and late evening enjoying our nation's wonders.

Through Sydney's Eye

We visited Guadalupe Mountains on Saturday and we gave Sydney a digital camera, below are some of her photos that she captured. "I never knew the desert had so many plants. It is so beautiful!" Sydney Theall

Trailer Life

Granted it is only day 2 in the trailer but the kids are enjoying trailer life and it is fun to watch them experience new things. This is a picture of their first breakfast in the trailer, excited to get to our first park.

I snapped this photo of them enjoying a board game that Sydney created before we left. Rainbow Read is a game of blind drawing, with twists and turns and a lot of fun. She never fails to amaze us with her creativity and ingenuity.

Day 2 Texas

Friday was spent driving through Texas. We were on the road by 9 am and arrived in Odessa, TX at 8 pm. Long day, big state!!! Driving was a little different with a little more wind, and while I took the wheel my fingers went numb holding the wheel so tight. This rookie still has white knuckles. 😁

We enjoyed a meal at Cracker Barrel, a must for family road trips. We made a menu for the next few days and went shopping at probably the largest Wal-Mart I have ever seen. Setup of the trailer went faster and the kids and adults all slept well again. Saturday we will spend two nights in Carlsbad, New Mexico and explore 2 National Parks Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Carlsbad Caverns.
