The 2007 Tahoe finally reached the end of it’s life. It had a good life, reaching 300,000 miles and having towed an Airstream around the country for a year. When I went shopping for a new car, something practical and reliable, I obviously opted for 1996 Land Cruiser located on the other side of the […]
Camping at Hanging Rock
A quick camping trip to Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina. Rosy Red, our vintage VW Beetle, always makes weekend trips more adventurous. In this case, the trunk with our groceries inside wouldn’t open. Of course, it opened when we got back home at the end of the weekend. Enjoyed Wilson’s interactive ghost stories […]
Travel Makes School and Museums More Impactful
I was reminded today how our children’s lives and worldview will be forever impacted by our travels, in South America and other places. Outside of our museum in Raleigh, there is a giant globe showing the southern hemisphere. We’ve driven past this globe a thousand times, to the point that it’s an ignorable feature in […]
Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge in the Amazon
After a week in the city of Manaus, we traveled a few hours up river by van to the spend a week at the Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge. The lodge was on the edge of the Rio Negro and across from the Anavilhanas National Park, where we explored by river boat, kayak, and by foot. The […]
Piranha Fishing in the Amazon
Of course we opted for a Piranha fishing excursion at the Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge on the bank of the Rio Negro. We took a small boat to a treed area of the river. The river height surges in the summer, and so we were fishing in the flooded treetops. We used cane poles with diced […]
Egg-xperiment Time
Since we’re heading to the Atacama desert and getting the opportunity to visit and swim in the salt lagoon, I wanted to do an experiment with the kids to show them how the strong salt content of the lagoons with make us extra buoyant. So we took two glasses of warm water, added 3 tablespoons […]
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 […]
