2000 Fifteen

PUEBLO, Colo.-August 30, 2014-My family and I passed this old Sportsman conversion van on our way down I-25 South to Albuquerque. That 1970’s inspired color scheme and classic van look always conjure the little boy in me who loves Hot Wheels and camping trips.

Staring at the birds

We slept in our Westy right outside a La Quinta Inn. Saved $80 and got to cuddle with my girls. On the road again.

It’s also the home of $2 night at B&J Skate Center. The rink has been open since 1984. The town where the mother of my child spent her own childhood and the place I’ve visited more than any other over the past 5 years.
Time to hit the road.
