Hello!

Welcome to our mid-life crisis! These are the chronicles of Laura and Patrick, their young son Jack, and their goofball Labrador Retriever named Evinrude (Rudy), as they travelled the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific coast of mainland Mexico in their catamaran. We went cruising in search of a change of pace, a closer knit family, and peace of mind. We found all three and more. The fun all started in October, 2008 and nearly four years later the Mexican adventure came to an end August 3rd, 2012. With our mid-life crisis cured in Mexico, we are excited to start a new adventure - life back in America.

Bryce Canyon, Utah




Our road trip continues to speed along. Today we decided to take in Bryce Canyon in Utah. Wow! It is just fantastic. This weekend is one of the last summer weekends for all those families with kids in schools so the parks are full and the hotels are, too. Since we are doing this on the fly without pre-planning (ie. no reservations) we decided to skip the Grand Canyon and hit a less traveled park. After three years without a lot of people around, large crowds are kind of overwhelming anyway!

Rudy continues to be a great road traveler. However, after sleeping all day he turns into a demon at night!

    Love Bryce but Arches was even better! I hear ya about crowds. I had a tough time with all the crowds at Arches. Found ways to avoid them though.

    Hi Debbie!
    I just wish we had more time. It's amazing that so many great national parks are in a 100 mile area - Bryce, Zion, and Grand Canyon. I hadn't seen any of them before, but did get to see Arches years ago. I've been thinking we need to take an extended road trip after we sell the boat!
