Nashville music

I went to Nashville for a work conference. Last night we had a social event where we were entertained by local country singer/song writers. Some of the songs were very good.

Prescott, AZ

This has been a slow travel year. My work trips haven't been to anywhere new and at the start of the year, we bought a new house. We've spent almost every moment of our free time renovating it so we could move in by the end of the summer before school started. As soon as we moved in, I started making updates on my house to prepare it for sale. With all that work finally done, we decided to take a bit of a break and explore some of the forest roads outside of Prescott today. 

We saw a bald eagle, lots of deer, and a tarantula.

Travel Map

This blog gives me a single location to record when and where I went, and key things I saw or did while there (since 2001). I write from my perspective and rarely post pictures of friends or family that I'm with (other than my husband). 

Posts for longer trips are shown in sequential order to make it easier to read about the full trip from the top of the page through the end. (See Hawaii for examples).

This map shows where I've been (orange pins) and trips I currently have scheduled/planned (green pins). Click the image for a better view. 

Happy travels!

Devil's Bridge

We decided to hike to Devil's Bridge today. It was supposed to be a fairly short easy hike, but somehow we lost the trail and ended up with a very steep climb before reaching the bridge.

Luckily, once we were at the top, some other people arrived and showed us the way to the actual path, which we again lost part way back down.

To top it off, when we got back to the Jeep, it made scary grinding noises. Luckily, it wasn't anything serious.

Montezuma's Castle

We drove to Camp Verde today to visit Montezuma's Castle so the girls could collect another junior ranger badge.
