Road Trip From Raleigh Around Outer Banks

February 10, 2018 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

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

July 28, 2017 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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

November 21, 2016 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

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

November 18, 2016 by Mark Kelley 7 Comments

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

November 17, 2016 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

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

November 16, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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

November 15, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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 […]

At the Intersection of Adventure: Damascus, Virginia

November 10, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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 […]
