We're in Taos, New Mexico. Time flies by so fast; it’s hard to believe that this coming Thursday, July 10th, we will have been traveling 3 weeks. One of the blog comments we received was a request for us to write about our RV experience.

After 3 weeks we definitely now have an opinion. We love it! Our motor home is our traveling little house. It’s our rolling home.

Driving cross country in an RV obviously eliminates the need to find hotels, pack and unpack constantly, and eat every meal out.  In our case, it also allows us to leave our dog in an air-conditioned little home which she is familiar with, while we go off on an adventure for a couple of hours.   

Traveling in an RV is a lot of work but if you compare the different repetitive steps one must take each day and night, they both are tedious, time consuming and repetitive.

Where ever you go your home is with you. We feel cozy, happy and have all the comforts of home.  We really didn't know how we would adapt to RV traveling but we love this way of travel.

Our route from Santa Fe to Taos:


This route took us through a beautiful gorge

  



Driving up the gorge road from Sante Fe to Taos we stopped at a mountain overlook and saw this interesting part of Taos history.

This trip looks amazing! Love the photos, and views of all the amazing landscapes and art work you're seeing. What an adventure. A rolling home sounds like the way to go.
