Our family blog began in 2008 when we were fortunate enough to experience a RV trip that circumnavigated America. Our family of four includes Audrey, Hannah, Connie and Tony (+ Cocoa our Chocolate Lab). This blog is simply a diary of our adventures to share with family & friends. The photo below is of the girls at the VERY LARGE ARRAY (VLA) in New Mexico; One of the many fascinating spots that we have been lucky enough to have visited.
