Stepping Off The Track

CO, NYC, Chicago, Dominica, Fl, Vermont and NOW staying put for awhile in LA!
We have 2 boys, who are homeschooled, and like all parents we want to support any passions we see arise. Well, they both have a passion to perform. Our older son Keean, on a crazy whim auditioned and got a role in the Broadway Musical "Billy Elliot"! So we sold almost everything (house included) and left our fantastic 15yrs in Colorado and headed to the BIG APPLE! We have been on the move ever since and consider ourselves an everyday family embracing life the best we know how. We tend to do things a little against the grain, but learning all we can along the way! Here's to sticking together as a family and creating an amazing adventure along the way!

On the Last Leg.....Heading WEST

So we did make it to Colorado.....not in 2 days in ONE!!!!! Yep....that's me..... crazy!  My idea was to get about 3 hours away from our destination, but as we got closer I guess everyone was travelling WEST because there was NOT one hotel....apart from a few scary ones on a lonely exit that truly looked haunted. So we ended up making it all the way but it was 2 in the morning and I just didn't have it in me to wake any of my friends.  I know they would not have cared, but I just couldn't do it.  So you got it.....we slept in our truck in a Walmart parking lot!  Now that is an adventure!  I know I could have spent $200 on a hotel for the 7 hour sleep but I am so frugal I could not do it!!! So Cade and I laid the seats back(well as much as they would go from all the junk packed in the back seat) and said our goodnights.  Let me rephrase that there was no "good" in that night!  Now Cade on the other hand looked as if he was sleeping on a five star bed....geez kids....so darn adaptable ha ha  So after the night from HELL, Cade and I awoke to a gorgeous morning and decided to go for a short jog to get out the kinks.  Of course, my friend called telling me how stupid I was for not knocking on her door, but I would not be able to tell this story had I done that.  Now would I?

Colorado was beautiful and the time spent with cherished friends even more beautiful!  From rafting down the Platte River and jumping castles, to Alpine Slide and Maze in Breckinridge.  We did not have a ton of time so unfortunately we were not able to see everyone, but..... next time.  At least we will be on the west side now...a little closer.
On the road again.......next stop VEGAS!!!!
