Things to do in Page Arizona This past November we had the privilege of visiting a new part of the United States that we hadn’t yet explored. Instead of our typical Thanksgiving in New York State, we flew to Las Vegas to begin our road […]
We just recently took our second a trip to San Diego, California with kids. The first time we visited, our oldest daughter was just shy of two years old. Since that was pre-blogging days, I will try to include some account of that trip here […]
