I love a good ghost town. I biked through a few while cycling across America on some rarely traveled roads in the northwest US. I am always interested in how towns fail and curious what the last person to leave thought as they loaded up their belongings and left an empty town. General stores, saloons, […]

I HATE Hand Washing Dishes
All in all I really am happy most of the time living and traveling in the RV. I’ve really come around. GO ME! However, there are still some things that make me fee like I’m living in a trailer with my family. Which I am. But, like because we’re traveling I don’t feel like we’re […]
Day Trip Itinerary for visiting Death Valley with Kids
Death Valley is hot. Believe what you read about the heat. It is oppressive and dangerous. It’s dangerous for adults, and it’s especially dangerous for little kids. We visited Death Valley National Park with our 1 and 4 year old kids in May. By 9am, temperatures in the valley reached 90 degrees F. The hottest […]
Biking Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is fantastic. The landscape is stunning, and the opportunities for hiking, climbing, and biking are plentiful. We spent most of our week in Yosemite Valley, taking in the waterfalls and cliffs throughs some short day hikes, but when possible we tried to find a little elbow room in a crowded park. We hiked a […]
Yosemite is beautiful, but…how do you avoid the crowds
It’s like nature Disneyland. I’m talking a group of 50 Japanese tourist being lead around the park by a guide with a flag. Just like Disney or the Louvre. It’s funny, I’m really learning exactly what I like in a park from all this travel. I like to have water free flowing. I like to […]
Day Trip to Sequoia National Park
We stopped in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks on our drive from Joshua Tree National Park to Yosemite National Park. Sequoia gave us a bit of climate shock, and we underestimated just how cold it would be high in the Sierras. We woke up that morning in the hot Mojave desert in Joshua Tree. […]
A Four Year Old’s Review of Sequoia National Park
Look at Me Being a Laid Back, Go With the Flow Mom!
While we were in Joshua tree the kids had the best time climbing on all of the boulders and trails the park had to offer. Jane who wasn’t really physically adventurous before this trip would often climb up boulder piles 40 feet off the ground while our backs were turned. She was scooting down so […]
Sunrise Sessions with Wilson
Remember that post when I talked about the challenges of a family of four sleeping in an RV? Well, we’re still having some challenges establishing a routine while roaming the country, but our sleeping habits have normalized a bit. Every morning, Wilson wakes up about 6:00am. Sometimes 5:30am, and more rarely 6:30am. He doesn’t just […]
Hiking, Climbing and Camping in Joshua Tree National Park – Near Los Angeles
We had a blast hiking and climbing in Joshua Tree National Park. There are tons of fun activities to do in the park, even for a family with small children, and the park landscape feels like a prehistoric world. We had only planned to stay three days, but after our first day exploring the unique […]
