While in Tucson, I have been working in a hospital system’s outpatient therapy department out in Benson, AZ. Due to a number of factors, including low case-load and hiring of new full time staff, they don’t need me any longer! Of course, Erin and I were hoping we could stay for 6 months- but plans…
Road Trip Part 2: Zion National Park
After a full day at horseshoe bend and lake Powell, Erin and I headed for Kanab Utah, which is about an hour and a half away. We were heading there because we wanted to enter the lottery to see the wave in vermilion cliffs national monument, as Erin mentioned is last week’s post. Many of…
Part 1: Hottest Roadtrip EVER
Our plans for this year to travel to PA for events and seeing family seem to be continually delayed, but we decided to take advantage of our pre approved time off by going on a road trip! We fit so much stuff into our 5 day trip that we are going to do two blog…

Before moving out west I never really realized how much vast wilderness truly exists in the United States. Although we passed by two small towns on our drive, the trip was mostly in the wilderness with only a few…
Sunrise Hike and Air Force One
Although the smoke from the Big Horn Fire and the extreme heat of Tucson has been thwarting some of our plans we still got out for some Tucson exploration this past weekend. Since it’s so hot during the day I got the bright idea that a sunrise hike would be fun. Patrick did some research…

Our First Weekend in Arizona
Last week we made the 9.5 hour drive from Santa Barbara,CA to Tucson, AZ. This is generally a short trip for us and it all went smoothly! It was amazing to watch the change in scenery and enter what feels like a whole different world just one state away. We are living in the eastern…
We are moving to….
We are really excited to share that Patrick has accepted another travel assignment!! Woohoo!! The current job market for travel therapists is terrible. There are very few jobs, and for those that do get posted 30 to 70+ therapists apply which makes it hard to stand out and even get an interview. We have been…
