Hotel, Motel, Bryce Valley Inn

As promised, here is the video from earlier this morning.

Tonight, we opted to stay in our first hotel of the journey. We went into Bryce NP and the campsites there had snow that was four feet deep.  The campsites were not much more than a wet asphalt parking spot barely cleared of snow.  We would not have even had access to the picnic tables at the sites which were still covered in snow.

Also, overnight temperatures are expected to be around 15° F.

Also, we smell bad and need showers.

Also, we are still quite addicted to Internetz.

If you are somewhere near the Bryce Valley Inn in Tropic, UT tonight, come knock on the door of room 110.  We'll have an old school hotel party.

P.S. - Bring beer.

  1. You'll have to keep us posted on whether you notice any significant weight gain (from riding in the car so much) or weight loss (because of eating less food). Have fun on your freedom trip. It looks SO much fun!

  2. I expect it will likely be a weight loss (or maintain) rather than gain because we aren't going to be doing much eating out and will be drinking less alcohol (all to save $$). We'll see...

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

I spy...

I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Beauty Anxiety

I am spending quite a bit of time thinking and planning what I am going to put in my travel backpack. There isn't going to be a lot of room so I am taking a tip from Ottsworld and planning to leave my vanity behind . I have to admit, the idea of leaving my makeup behind makes me uncomfortable. Not because I want to wear makeup everyday but because it's a security blanket. It provides the ability to fit in if I need to and to escape the feeling that I am not participating in the unwritten rules of being a woman. Don't believe me that there is a beauty standard in this country? Check this out: Video link here . More information about Girl Culture by Lauren Greenfield here . Please note that parts of this site are NSFW. But on the flip side, I'll be saving money. I found an article in Newsweek that estimated the lifetime cost of "cosmetic maintenance" . Even if I normally spend a half to a third of this amount, that's still quite a bit quite a bit of money.
