Day 15: Today we drove south from Richmond, through Newport News and the Virginia Beach area to get on the 23-mile bridge-tunnel crossing at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay that would connect us to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. From there, we headed north up the eastern seashore to Chincoteague Island. It was cold … Continue reading Summer 2018 RVing: Week 3
Day 8: Today we woke up really early to be down to the University before 8am for the 5th grade long term performance. They were performing under the category of "Classics: Mockumentary." They took Alice in Wonderland and rewrote the story into an 8 minute "spoof." All the scripting, costumes, props, etc had to be … Continue reading Summer 2018 RVing: Week 2
And just like that, a whole year came and went! We had our trip planned months ago, and then we had to move the timetable up by nearly two weeks. Our son and his team took first place in the State of Arizona Odyssey of the Mind Competition, which meant they were moving on to … Continue reading Summer 2018 RVing: Week 1
Day 57: Of all 50 states, we have undoubtedly spent the most time RVing in our sister state of California. It's "our" beach and vacation-land away from home. San Diego is about 6 hours from where we live so it makes it an easy place to head, even if you only have a few days. … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: California
Day 51: Today we left Vancouver and Canada and crossed back into the lower 48. The Port of Entry into Blaine, WA was crowded, but border patrol moved the cars through quickly and efficiently. The hardest part was driving through the very narrow lanes with our rv! We had planned on spending a few days … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Coastal Oregon

This is a little of week 7 and the beginning of our 8th week on the road together in one post because it seemed easier to just do one big post about one of my favorite cities in Canada...Vancouver! Day 48: The sky seemed to be more clear today as we hit the road. We … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Vancouver, BC
Day 43: We awoke excited to be in Skagway, and ready to explore more of the surrounding areas! We thought a good way to live like a local would be to travel like a local - by ferry! Many cities on the west side of Alaska are faster to reach by water, so ferry transportation … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Week 7
Day 36: We woke up in one of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever stayed. Williwaw is surrounded by gorgeous mountains and glaciers! We wanted to take the time today to see all the things in this area that we passed the first time around in our RV because it's easier to get in and … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Week 6
Day 29: It was late when we pulled off from the Turnagain Arm the night before. Alaska has very liberal camping laws. Basically, as long as there is no signage that states "No overnight parking" you are welcome to camp there. It's a very RV friendly state. I woke up, opened the shade to the … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Week 5
