Posted on February 20, 2019February 21, 2019 by Zes

We’re not just traveling to travel. Oh, no. We’re trying to find a place that makes us both happy that could be a forever home. And while it’s been a bit of a struggle to define that that means, I think we’ve made some progress over the past seven months. Let’s take a look at…

Readin N’ Writin on the Road

Posted on February 2, 2019February 10, 2019 by Jan

Both Tammy and I enjoy reading so we always have a supply of books on our phones. Our adventure to find Albuquerque’s Hidden Park in our Airbnb neighborhood revealed more than a hidden park. It also had a double sided free book stand, and one friendly pup bonus. We each scored a book or two…
