Oh no! We’re sick!!!

April 30, 2009
We're sick and we're supposed to go on our bicycle trip

So we all got sick in the house, I mean ALL! ‘cept the turtle, dog and cats. I was the last one on the list and thankfully, I haven’t had anything worse than a stuffy nose, but Ryan’s still battling his cough. To be on the safe side, we decided to delay the trip for [...]

First Bike Ride

Vineyards

After being “home” for a few weeks and getting settled, we finally were able to get our first bike ride in. A nice 12 mile trip that lasted about an hour or so around the neighborhood and park was pretty nice. I pedaled at a comfortable pace to enjoy the view, I’m not really in [...]

We Finished Our Trip!!! GRAND CANYON TO SACRAMENTO (801.1 miles) From the Grand Canyon we headed toward Pasadena to go visit Ryan’s cousin. The drive was pretty long, took us about 436 miles, pretty much all day. I was ready to rest and ready to be home but it was nice to spend the day [...]

The Glorious Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon

SEDONA TO WILLIAMS & GRAND CANYON (126 miles) After Sedona I couldn’t imagine how the Grand Canyon would be and my reaction upon seeing this thing. Ryan kept telling me about it but I didn’t want to know anything else, I didn’t want to imagine more than I could see. So…we got to William, AZ. [...]

TUCSON TO SEDONA (243.8 miles) We got to Sedona right at sunset, we really wanted to be there for it, but we got distracted seeing Tucson and stopping in other places. I really didn’t know what to expect after seeing photos, I wasn’t sure how amazed I would be. From the second we got there [...]

NEW MEXICO TO TUCSON (395 miles) We haven’t been taking advantage of the whole day to travel, we’ve been pretty lazy, waking up with just in time to get ready and get out of the hotel room before check out, having a bite to eat, sometimes sight-seeing before taking off, so by the time we [...]

Help us New Mexico!

New Mexico

AMARILLO TO SOCORRO, NM (378 miles) Socorro means Help…in Spanish and I felt like we needed it…at least a little push. The wind has been ridiculous since we hit Texas? I think, it has been very frustrating, it’s taking longer than it should. You’d think traveling with a turtle would be no problem but she [...]

Amarillo, Texas

VAN BUREN, AR TO AMARILLO, TX (460 miles) We drove to Van Buren after Hot Springs to find our hotel and get some rest. It was small town, really cute. We didn’t get a chance to stop to sight-see, but we had to get an oil change the morning after. So we did, in this [...]

To the Hot Springs!

Hot Springs National Park

MEMPHIS, TN TO HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS (181.39 miles) After Memphis, we spent the night in West Memphis, Arkansas, just after the border. Ryan really wanted to stop by Hot Springs in Arkansas so we did and I’m glad. It was a nice quick stop and although we didn’t get to see much of the springs, [...]
