This Week on Instagram: February 22-28, 2014

San Diego is beautiful! Although staying in an RV Park is definitely not our first choice, we are close to the city and all it has to offer. However, between finishing off potty training Cara and the torrential downpour the last few days, I feel like we haven’t been able to see much. Yet. But then I look back at where we have been this week and I suppose we are doing all right. Highlights include an Organ Recital at Balboa Park, BYU Ballet, earning a Jr. Ranger Badge at Cabrillo National Monument, visiting the San Diego LDS temple, the downtown library, and the Science Museum. We have another week here to cram in everything we haven’t been able to do yet. We are excited for a busy, dry week!

This week has been slow & relaxed and we’ve LOVED it! We spent the weekend with family in Riverside, CA and then headed out to Casper’s Wilderness Park just south of LA. We needed to get away from the city, get caught up on work school. Done, done, and done. We’ve also started to finish potty-training Cara and the poor girl has been pantsless in the Airstream for 4 days. Not much success so far, but we are pretty determined this time around. We’ve also arrived in San Diego and are staying at an RV park in the city. Not the best views, but the beach, the zoo, Sea World, science museums and other fun activities are all under 30 minutes away. Can’t beat that.

February already! This week has been busy. We enjoyed our last few sunsets in Arizona before heading for the California border and Joshua Tree National Park. Being back in the west has also helped calmed my grocery shopping anxiety a bit with familiar stores (Winco! Chocolate covered cinnamon bears!), and I even shopped a sale at a Kroger store! We then immediately had problems finding where to put all my groceries. Oh well. I try.

One highlight was definitely the Gilbert, Arizona LDS temple and In-N-Out for lunch! More about that in a detailed blogpost tomorrow.

Tuscon, Boondocking with Friends, and Saguaro National Park

This Week on Instagram January 25-31

Travel Dates: January 25-31, 2014

We’ve had a busy week! We finished up our time at City of Rocks in NM and traveled on to Tuscon, Arizona to stay with some college friends. We LOVE visiting with friends, and using their waffle irons to make breakfast isn’t so bad either. 🙂 Sam also managed to lock us out of the Airstream (spare key locked in the truck with THOSE keys in the Airstream. Yeah. We’re good like that.), but AAA came to the rescue.

After a little sight seeing, and a haircut for Jess, we ended up at Snyder Hill on some BLM land with two other Airstreamers! We met Malimish & Aluminarium who introduced us to boondocking and the boys chatted about solar power for 2 days straight. We managed to squeeze in a trip to Saguaro National Park for the 5 kids to earn their Junior Ranger Badges and to check out the largest cacti we’ve ever seen. After running out of power and waking up to a cloudy morning, we said goodbye and traveled an hour north to Picacho State Park where we could plug in. We hope to add solar panels to our set up soon, but until then we’ll just have to keep the boondocking to a minimum.

Whew. There you have it in a nutshell. Look for posts detailing our group camping and visit to the National Park coming soon!
