Katie and I took a mom-and-dad-only-mini-adventure in Rosy Red, our 1974 VW Beetle convertible. Over five days and four nights, we traveled nearly 600 miles in the Beetle to explore North Carolina’s inner and outer banks, making use of many ferries and remote highways along the way. We had some mechanical issues on the trip, […]

So Long to Life on the Road, We Sold the Airstream
It’s been a while since we sold the Airstream. We sold it back in March. Though now that we are finished with our year of adventure and back to full-time tech careers, I’m just now getting around to publishing a post about it. There’s also a measure of disappointment about the departed Airstream and nomadic […]
A $5,000 Mistake on our Year of Adventure
In all of my boundless wisdom, I rented our home on a two-year lease just before we departed on our year of adventure. Though we called our RV trip our year of adventure, Katie and I had determined that we weren’t going to set an actual timeline on our adventure. We would travel as long […]
Why We’re Ending Our Year of Adventure after Nine Months
When moving from our home life to our road life, we didn’t waste much time transitioning from one life to the other. In the course of a few weeks, we bought and fixed up a vintage Airstream, overhauled our Tahoe tow vehicle, left our jobs, stored our possessions, rented our house, and disappeared over the […]
Our Adventure by the Numbers
If you’ve read our articles from the past, you’ve likely seen that we keep a pretty close eye on financials and other numbers. I’m not a numbers person. I’m actually pretty terrible at math, especially beyond Algebra, though I get a kick out of tracking stats and figures from our travels. Here are some stats […]
Exploring the Eastern Shore of Maryland
After a week in Washington, DC, we headed east across the bay to the eastern shore of Maryland. I’ve long had an interest in the eastern shore of Maryland, particularly in the history of the watermen who live off the bay, catching crab and fish, hunting waterfowl, and collecting oysters. It seemed spending a few […]
Touring the USS North Carolina Battleship, Wilmington, NC
On a rainy morning at Topsail Beach, we decided to drive forty-five minutes south to tour the USS North Carolina. The battleship served the US before, during and after WWII, and for decades has been docked in Wilmington, NC. The ship is massive by my standards, though probably not by military standards when compared to […]
Monthly Expenses for Full-Time RVing – October 2016
We created a monthly budget before our RV trip, and we share our monthly expenses against our projected budget to share with others how much it costs to RV around America. We’ve shared our monthly expenses for March, April, May, June, July, August, and September. Below are our expenses for October. Let us bring you […]
Monthly Expenses for Full-Time RVing – September 2016
Long before our trip, we established a monthly budget for our RV trip. We planned to share our monthly expenses to see how much it costs to RV around America. We’ve shared our monthly expenses for March, April, May, June, July, and August. Below are our expenses for September. Let us bring you adventure every […]
At the Intersection of Adventure: Damascus, Virginia
I’m always delighted to pass through a town years after I last visited. Mapping my memories of the old place to the present place becomes an interesting exercise in determining what has actually changed and what remains the same yet I view differently. Damascus, Virginia, a tiny town in southwest Virginia that is a hub […]
