to UVA Hospital

Heyyyoooo

It's been a minute. I would like to get a little bit back into blogging though so instead of trying to catch up, I'm just going to start again!

Our sweet Goldie (who was born with 24 digits on both hands and both feet) had surgery last Tuesday to get her extra fingers and toes removed. We went up at 4:30am and were back home by noon! I need to find some good photos of her hands/feet beforehand... but until then I will just post a couple photos of the day!
 
 
 
We love our Goldie. We are so thankful that everything went as smoothly as it did!

To Sweetwater State Park

This place was pretty close to how I think of camping when I think of camping. We got there only about 26 hours later than we planned on. It was about fifteen minutes north of the USA-Mexico border crossing so we were excited to finally have it within our reaches! The campground was clean and full of people.  There were families there was the south, a group of kids doing a school overnight trip, and a few people just site-seeing in one of the biggest cities in California. At camp site 42 we even had an equestrian stall! We ate at an amazing place called TJ’s Oyster Bar. Oh. My. The food was heavenly! I had some fish tacos, Ty had a smoked fish burrito, and Conor had a salmon burrito. All were so inexpensive and delicious! We were stoked about it.

To Mulege

Mulege (Prounounced Moo-lah-hay) is a cute little town on the brink of the desert and the ocean. We loved exploring the town and passing through their really narrow roads. Just as you are passing the town on the highway, there is a beautiful large arch that you must pass through to get anywhere in the city. We obviously had to take a picture in front of it. Only problem was that we were standing on the highway while we did.. haha safety first! Once we got into the town we saw a storefront that said "Homemade ice cream and treats: Almost free!" Well, we had to stop and see what they had. Holy cannoli. We got two large pastry breads stuffed with meat, cheese, and sauce and a homemade strawberry ice cream on a cone for the equivalent of $3.30! Best ever. So we drove out to the lighthouse and hiked up to the top to enjoy our lunch. Let me just say, it was quite windy up there so please pardon the hair situations. The view was beautiful and totally worth it. Driving back throu...

To Gila Bend

After driving from Flagstaff to Phoenix to pick up Conor from the airport, we stopped at an auto shop to replace the two tires on our trailer that weren’t functional (had a blowout north of Flagstaff and the spare was flat. But I learned how to reseal a bead on a tire using a gas station air pump!). Anyway, we had planned on making it to San Diego that night to camp close to the border and cross early in the morning. That did not happen. Just as we were merging onto I-8 at the southern tip of the town called Gila Bend (Pronounced: He-la Bend), our car (Sher-Khan, the ’99 forerunner) started revving really high and stopped shifting all together. We pulled over to the side of the road and checked what was going on up front. Turns out the transmission fluid was leaking all over and the radiator coolant was gone. Ouch! Our poor car. There was nothing we could do standing on the side of the road, so we called AAA and got ourselves a tow truck. Luckily, Gila Bend has a shop the works with A...
