Driving through this arid stretch of Texas with a landscape dotted with oil rigs, it seems like there’s not a lot here to see.
When we found out about the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, though, we realized how wrong we were, and were glad we made time for this stop!
The city of Bellingham, Washington, located a short distance from the Canadian border, has so many things to offer, no matter your interests!
We enjoyed a variety of experiences with food, science, coastal life, nature and loads of history!
Maybe this city may need to be on your destination wish list!
Our travels brought us far from home, and now it’s time to start the new school year.
This year, we are braving not only high school, but also blending both virtual and home school into our routine.
Find out where we are, what we are using and how it’s going.
This was our first visit to Oregon, and we packed a LOT into just a few weeks.
While we have blogs on several of the stops, here’s a quick overview on both the life stuff, and the travel stuff.
We got up close and personal with science and history as we toured this museum.
With free admission, guided tours and hands on displays, you won’t be disappointed–but if you can’t make it, they have virtual tours, too!
Come along as we tour the nuclear power plant that made history powering a small town in Idaho.
In this week’s blog, we travel from the rocky desert of Idaho, across the Nevada desert, over the Sierra Nevada mountains and into the farmland of Northern California.
We stop at a few interesting places and watch the landscape change…and even survive the giant crickets!, all while enduring the summer heat.
Continuing our journey westward, this week we traveled from Omaha, Nebraska to Arco, Idaho, mostly along I-80 (the route of the Oregon Trail).
On long travel days and 1,200 miles of travel, we found free camping on cool nights, historical local stops, and took a turn north to stop for some R&R.
