Colorado Springs and the Stormy Garden of the Gods
On our most recent road trip we made a stop on the way home in Colorado Springs. This town holds a significance in my family because it is where my mom spent part of her childhood while my grandfather was attending the Nazarene Bible College.

Harold Warp’s Pioneer Village
I only had one night in Nebraska so I didn't have a lot of time or sightseeing or adventures, but I did make one stop at a place in Minden that a coworker recommended.

There’s No Place Like Home……There’s No Place Home…….My Kansas Experiences and Why Dorothy Should Have Stayed In Oz.
I started my big 17 day road trip a couple days ago and overall, it's been a much better experience than last year. Well, 95%, but that 5% is story for later in the post. The first day was 9 hours of driving across Texas, so not much to write about, but after that I … Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home……There’s No Place Home…….My Kansas Experiences and Why Dorothy Should Have Stayed In Oz.
