40 years since the Blue Angels flew over Yuma, Arizona. We made sure we were there for the comeback. ✈️

We had 2025 all planned out.

Then life said: 😂 nope.

A Jeep accident. Wildfires. Job loss. However, this chaotic year became one of our most grounding years.

They won't fit in the RV, and the girls are not happy. For the first time in our RV life, they now want a stick-and-brick house. 😂

This is so sad.

The Grand Canyon’s North Rim is closed for the rest of 2025. In July, the Dragon Bravo Fire destroyed around 70 structures. Including the Grand Canyon Lodge, Visitor Center, and guest cabins.

Gutted that the fires in AZ have destroyed one of the most beautiful lodges in any national park, at the north rim of the grand canyon. The north rim is so underrated. Hope the area can recover.
