Here we go!!

Hey all!  Let's get this blog started!  

So... ya know how we travel all over, have great adventures and meet new people?  We decided it's time to share "the Wright life" with you.  As time goes by, we will fill you in on past memorable adventures.  Why?  Because we've had some interesting ones!

For those who don't know us, we are Tom and Debbie Wright, currently living in Port St Lucie, FL. Yep, we definitely enjoy the Wright life in Florida!  Our personal, as well as business, motto is "It's All About the Adventure!".  We definitely try to fit in as many adventures as we can.

What do we do for "work"?  We meet people from all over the world when they paddle with our kayak tour company Kayaks and Stuff.  I know, it's a tough job but SOMEONE has to do it!

As I write this first post, we are in Grand Junction, CO.  We loaded up the RV, our three dogs and hit the road to begin yet another adventure on Monday, August 25.  A three day trip through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico FINALLY found us in Colorado for our sons wedding.  The great thing about traveling in an RV is you really don't have to stop much.  The restroom is built in, food and drink are available, the dogs have room to roam and you can sleep whenever you want. 

We are thoroughly enjoying visiting with family while here.  Even the crazy ones... because hey, it adds to the entertainment.  Okay fine, maybe some of those entertaining family members are no longer exactly family members... and for a good reason.  (Did I say ex spouses?) If any of you have one or two of those people in your life think of it this way; you should feel awesome knowing someone else spends so much time thinking of you! And that is my philosophical thought for the day.  

The day before the wedding we had some time so we did a bit of wine tasting.  For those of you don't know, Grand Junction has a LOT of wineries.  If you can't find wine you like here then you are way too picky.  FYI, Grand Junction also grows the BEST peaches you will ever find.  We also did a bit of... shopping.  But that's a story for another day.  Oh! The Grand Junction Motor Speedway has a shift cart track.  About 18 of us headed out first thing in the morning the day of the wedding for a few laps.  Neither Tom or I had ever driven these before.  We were slow at first until we got a good feel for the carts. These aren't your normal carnival bumper cars, the babies will go over 65 mph!  At one point, CJ, the groom spun out in front of me.  Rather than take out the groom, (I didn't think that would be a good idea) I swerved and spun out myself.  

The wedding was at an awesome outdoor venue.  The bride and groom looked wonderful. The reception was tons of fun.  What can I say?  It was a wedding with (as I said before) crazy ex relatives. This morning we all met for breakfast.  Yup, crazy ex relatives and all. Of course this just made for more entertainment!  Seriously though, it was great getting to visit with people you haven't seen in such a long time.

And so I will end my first ever blog post.  We are looking forward to more great adventures to come. Stay tuned!
