We added five hours on to our trip to the Grand Canyon opting to stay off the interstate and get a more scenic route. If I never stay at a recognizable hotel chain again long as I live, I think I’ll be just fine. There are so many places we wanted to visit including the…

I started to question my choices and if we had made the right decision. My oldest daughter attended kindergarten at the public school down…
