Mary’s Lake Campground, Estes Park,
We woke up at 6am to Orr’s crying. Noting calmed her down and she woke Shir up too. Paola tended to them while I tried to sleep some more but in vain, too much noise. How Ron slept through this is unclear.
We left the campground before 9am for a long day of driving. Shir and Orr fell asleep immediately. (more…)
This was a few days ago near Mesa Verde National Park. My poor kids have nothing to eat except for Snow.
KOA Buena Vista Campground,
Shabbat Shalom.
We spent some time in the campground playground this morning before heading off to the next national park. If you have never heard of it, that’s ok, neither did we until we saw that it is conveniently located on our way to the
KOA Ouray Campground,
We woke up to a clear and bright morning and the sun started melting away the little snow that had accumulated on our RV. We headed back to Mesa Verde for a second attempt and today was much more successful. We booked a ranger led tour of “
A & A Mesa Verde RV Park & Campground,
Today was another rainy and even snowy day. Cold and unrelenting till the day was almost over. It was raining most of the night and when we woke up as well. We took our time getting organized hoping it would let up. So we made a big breakfast with pancakes and then headed off to
KOA RV Campground,
We woke up to a cold and cloudy day. At 5:30, when my alarm went off, it was still raining, so I killed the hike plan. Bummer. Back to sleep. Heaven. It rained till about 7:30. We left the park around 10am and started a long sunless day of driving.
Our first stop, just a few mile outside the park, was Newspaper Rock. (more…)
Squaw Flat Campground,
We are spending the night inside the park in a beautiful campground with a fantastic spot for our RV. Too bad it is raining outside now. We drove out here from
The first thing we did when we got here was to get a spot in the campground. As in many national parks, it’s a first come first serve system. (more…)

Today we had to leave our nice campground and checked into another one before heading off to Arches once again. It’s amazing how in a few short days the place seems familiar, almost like the streets of your hometown. We drove to the “windows†part of the park where there are a few easy walks up to some arches that look like elliptical holes in the rock walls. There were a lot of stairs to climb so after a few minutes we left the stroller on the trail and continued all 5 by foot. Orr for the most part walks on the trail, fast pace and gives Paola and me a hand when asked. Shir on the other hand, is the free spirit. She refuses to hold hands, defines the trail as whatever is interesting to her, and can spend many long minutes staring at a rock, some ants, or whatever seems to amuse her. (more…)
Canyonlands RV
We slept the first full night since we began our trip without child interruption tonight. The kids, having gone to bed late last night, woke up only at 9:30am! What a treat. We lazed off to the campground swimming pool before the sun will get too high in the sky. Unfortunately the water was really cold. That did not stop Orr though. After her came Ron and even Shir for a bit, but no one really wanted to get their whole body wet, just the bottom. (more…)
