O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea! Happy Birthday, America!

Hiking and Biking in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
We had a pretty chill time in Jackson, Wyoming and the Tetons, which was a nice break after our week in Yellowstone. We camped on the very southern tip of Grand Teton National Park at Gros Vontre campground, which is a few miles outside of Jackson, Wyoming in Jackson Hole Valley. This location provided us […]
Visiting Yellowstone National Park
We camped a week in Yellowstone at Fishing Bridge Campground on the eastern side of Yellowstone National Park on the northern edge of Yellowstone Lake.

Rainy Days in the Airstream
We’ve been asked what we do when it rains or when the weather otherwise doesn’t permit us to hike, bike or explore the outdoors. We are fortunate in that we’ve only run into this problem a couple times. Most storms tend to be in the afternoon during nap time. But even if it is raining, […]
Our Daily Routine While Living on the Road
As I’ve mentioned before, our schedule hasn’t changed much since we left on our adventure. On the days we aren’t traveling to a new place, which is about once or twice a week, our schedule follows our normal routine. We get up, have breakfast, do a big activity, have lunch, rest time, another activity, dinner, […]
