While our daughter-in-law accompanies her mom to Italy for her very first time, we are fortunate to have as our traveling companions our younger son and his two kiddos. We are taking them on an RV trip where we will pick up a rental trailer and tow them in their own little home. How cool is that?

Interestingly, the closest rental trailer we could find is in Henderson, Nevada, a distance too far to make in one day with little ones in tow.

Night #1 was spent at Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley... a first.

Since this was only a waystation for us, we were only in the Park for a total of 17 hours. We did fit in some fun, however.
