Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Wed, April 9th. Rolling into Arizona & the town outside the Grand Canyon. 500+ miles in 8 ish hours. One lunch stop & one gas/bathroom stop. Thank heavens for a rental car with satellite radio. Stand up comedy by Louis CK got us laughing so hard we couldn't breathe and kept us sand the last... Continue Reading →
More from the road Wed, April 9th.
Messed up the posts from my phone - these went on the wrong site! From Wed, April 9:

I'm going to combine the Friday and Saturday visits into one so as not to be repetitive. Yes, we went twice since we had two sets of tour tickets from different congressional offices and because some of the group were not there Friday morning it made sense to go again Sat morning. Good thing! A... Continue Reading →
(I didn't add an 'of x' to that since I really don't know how much I will break this up, I just know I better start!) After the challenges of getting in to Pittsburgh in August, the non stop Southwest flight to Baltimore Thursday morning was a breeze. Even having spaced on printing my boarding... Continue Reading →
