A Short Exploration Trip

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #218 Today, we headed out to check out some land.  Some day, once D retires from the Marine Corps, we plan on living on a nice piece of land.  It’s a dream that we’re constantly working on as D moves along through his career.  We watch for plots of land that are nicely priced and check them out.  We research and plan.  We like the idea of living at least partially off-grid, but some of the places are completely off-grid.  Slowly but surely, we’re learning more about what that all involves for us.  It’s fun planning for…

Grand Canyon: A Moment of Rest

Project 365 – #215 One of the fun things that we were able to do while on vacation (aka our small family reunion) was go out to eat.  I realize that for some people going out to eat doesn’t seem all that special, but since we’re gluten free and have to be extremely careful about cross contamination, we rarely go out to eat.  Usually, we just take our food with us on vacation.  While we did do that on this trip, we were also able to hit a few different places including Chick-fil-a, Picazzos (the best gluten free pizza), and…
