A roadtrip into the mountains!

 Day 3: Meadview, AZ to Page, AZ


10:00am - Crossing the desert

Today we started our adventure from Meadview, AZ into the depths of Arizona.  We headed to our first destination: Flagstaff, AZ!

Billy: Flagstaff is one of my favorite cities in Arizona - it is surrounded by beautiful pine trees and mountains.

After about 3 hours of driving in the desert, we finally began to see some Arizona mountains and snow!


We see some snowy mountains in the distance...

Getting closer...

We're here!

2:00pm - Eating with the owls in Flagstaff, AZ

We stopped in Flagstaff and ate at the Toasted Owl, a quirky little cafe in the heart of the town.  There were owl trinkets everywhere!  We also had to be careful not to slip since the town had snow and ice everywhere (Billy: I loved it!!)

The Toasted Owl - It has some amazing tea.

All owl, all the time.

3:00pm - Scenic drive to Page, AZ

With its towering cliffs and canyons of red, striated rock, Arizona is absolutely beautiful. 

Cleetus in the American Wild West (can you spot her?)

Love those rock colors!  It's a wonder what millions of years can do for your complexion.

Canyon adventure ahead!

The pretty cliffs of the Navajo Nation - we believe these houses are part of the reservations.

Tunnel vision.

Almost there, the landscape kept getting more and more beautiful.

The Grand Canyon! (in the distance)

Mary: I don't know this goat.
Billy: The dude abides.

Cleetus's butt! Part 2.

6:00pm - Page, AZ

We arrived to our Airbnbn just at sunset.  We were absolutely FLOORED by the view of this place.

Our backyard.

This is the best view!

Next Stop: WFH in Page, AZ this week! Stay tuned for more pictures around the area.

 Days 11-13: Durango, CO This week we have been staying at Durango and working.  We first checked out the local coffee shop.  Downtown Durango had a really nice view of the mountains.     We didn't do that much this week except work and explore the downtown area.  One place we really liked though was the bookstore.  In fact, we liked it so much that Mary made Billy take a bunch of pictures! This is an eclectic collections of different types of books - from the Modern House Bus to the Gardener's guide to food growing in your backyard.  Mary loves this stuff. Mary and her mushrooms. More books.       The bookstore had a lot of books. We then walked around Durango just taking in the sights.  We got a lot of nice pictures from around the neighborhood we were staying at! A picture from our front yard. A perfect Christmas tree.  House for scale. Snow. There is a car in there. Pano of the river behind our house. This man just cam...

Day 10: Out of the snow and onward to Durango! 8:00am - Breakfast We started the day by having a nice little breakfast after a long hard day prior. Gotta love the free hotel breakfast foods.  Billy: I was strategizing my way down out of the snowy mountains without crashing Cleetus. 9:00am - Walking around Telluride We took the morning and walked around the town.  We went to ACE hardware to get gloves.  Billy also tested his backup pair of snow chains on Cleetus to make sure they fit.  Ironically, the roads had melted and we didn't actually need snow chains anymore :-/ The sun is coming. It's almost here! Hello sun master! Please warm us up! It's still coooold!! Thank youuu! The beautiful town of Telluride.  It's basically a ski resort. We couldn't see this beauty at night. The icicles were long enough to pierce through Billy.  Eeek! Looks like an old western town. Big trees! 12:00pm - On the road again We got on the road and headed towards Durango, CO....

Starting a new adventure!

Day 1: Mountain View, CA to Three Rivers, CA First leg of our trip - almost four hours of driving exactly.  We'll be posting our progress as we go along from Mountain View to Bastrop. 5:00pm - Goodbye, California Yesterday we said goodbye to our California homes and bid farewell to Mountain View and the Bay Area.  The last month has been so incredibly busy that it wasn't until we were sitting in an empty apartment that we had time to soak in and appreciate the gravity of what was happening: For the first time since 2014 we were leaving our California homes to travel east and settle in Texas. We celebrated by playing lots of video games - specifically Hades  - and drinking a whole bottle of 3-year-old Martinelli's. Mary: So empty... Except for the leaves. Those leaves have been tormenting Billy for the last year. I'm sure he won't be missing those. We also revisited our old haunts. The main one was Castro Street in Mountain View! This is where it all started.  Th...
