Teux Deux

Forgive me, but I need to majorly nerd out about organizational tools for a post.

Pen and paper lists (which I still use frequently for short term… Continue reading Teux Deux

Grand Canyon National Park

As we traveled across my favorite part of the United States, the southwest, we didn’t have a lot of time to spend at the Grand Canyon’s north rim – just under 24 hours. Enough time to set up our campsite, marvel at the unusual looking squirrels, walk out to a few canyon viewpoints, drive out… Continue reading Grand Canyon National Park
