When we started talking about gathering with friends for the solar eclipse, we really didn’t know what to expect. It was more than six months away and eclipse hysteria hadn’t hit yet. By the time the plans had gotten firmer, it had become our impetus to go back west. We wintered in the Florida Keys…
Three Years Living in an RV Full-Time and No End in Sight
This month marks three years on the road for us. It feels like it was only yesterday that we started this journey, yet we can hardly remember our lives before.

A Year with Gypsy
If you’ve been following us on social media for a while, you may have noticed a lack of kitten pictures in the past few months.

A Delicious Date Shake (Dairy and Vegan) and a Visit to the Farm
We spent most of the winter in the desert and heard about the area’s famous date shakes. I began looking for them soon after. Somehow, they eluded me for the first couple of months. We never had the chance to visit the date farm in Yuma. We missed the place recommended to us on the…

Either way, I dare you to not think of maple syrup when Vermont is mentioned, I know I do. Before we took off on our full-time adventure, we used…
Pappas Style Greek Salad with Potatoes
I have great food memories of visiting the Tampa, FL area as a child. One is of the smoked fish at Ted Peters and the other is Greek Salad at Pappas. This Greek style salad piled atop a heaping mound of potato salad became one of my favorite foods. I’d request it for birthdays and…
Florida Key Lime Pie: The Search for the Perfect Slice and How to Make Your Own
One of our first destinations in the RV was the Florida Keys and as the main devourer of this journey, I felt it was my duty to try all the key lime pies I could in our brief time on the islands. I started in Key Largo at Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen and their Keys’ introduction…
Taking a bite out of the Nature Coast
While exploring the waters of the Crystal River, Florida area, we made sure to do a little food exploration, too. After our paddle up and dive down Rainbow River, we made a stop at the Blue Gator in Dunnellon. It’s mainly bar food, but good after the exertion and Brandon was a happy camper with the…
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…
