We’ve been looking forward to swimming with manatees in Crystal River, Florida ever since we missed our chance last year. Getting to do it with our friends from Gone with the Wynns was the icing on top. Since we were in the area, we made sure to maximize our water time in the Florida springs with an additional…
Happy Holidays!
We thought this was the perfect time to share this funky find with all of you. While driving down an Indiana road recently, we spotted this contraption in a parking lot. We immediately had to do a u-turn to see what it was, wouldn’t you? When the guys came out that were driving this RV, they were…
Ohio and the Case for Better Planning
We had a few goals when we drove through Ohio on our way back to Indiana. First we would meet up with our RVing friends, the Snowmads. Then we’d head down to Mansfield to see an old college buddy. While there, we really wanted to visit the old Ohio State Reformatory that was used in the…
What’s New at the National RV Tradeshow
We were lucky enough to attend the industry-only National RV Trade Show this year and picked out the coolest things we saw to share with you. Instead of running through the show like mad people, we mainly focused on items that could be installed aftermarket. If you’re like us, you’re always on the lookout for new,…
A Perfectly Fall Day
As I write this, it feels like fall has already left most of the country. But as we made our way from the North to South, I’m reminded that it is still autumn for another couple of weeks. Down here, it feels more like what I think of as fall weather or at least the part…
Antique Boat Museum – 1000 Islands, NY
Ever since I left this place, I keep telling everyone I meet to go there. Located in the beautiful and unique 1000 Islands area of Northern New York, it is a very special place for lovers of shiny, old wood. What the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Museum does for aviation, the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY…
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
On our way to Burlington Vermont, I wanted to visit a place I saw in a documentary. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center was built to expand the overstuffed National Air and Space Museum in DC. The old museum was just too small to house these exhibits and the old storage areas made conservation difficult. The…
Getting out of Dodge
Starting off on our new life adventure was an adventure in itself. After spending the holidays with my family, we thought it befitting that we leave to start our new journey on January 1st. It would be a poetic way to start the new year. That was not in cards, though. A delay in getting…
Getting Acclimated in Austin
We made Austin our first long-term stop after setting out on our full-time travels. This made sense for a variety of reasons: it’s close to Livingston, TX where we had to stop and set up residence, our good friends Sarah and Brian are there and I wanted to visit them for an extended period, Brandon…
