Egg-xperiment Time

November 17, 2022 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

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

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 […]

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 […]

The Kindness of Strangers

November 9, 2016 by Katie Kelley 2 Comments

One surprise I continue to experience on this trip is the kindness of strangers. This trip has been such a gift in so many ways, and amidst the ugliness of our presidential election, it has really restored my belief that most people are good. While biking a 17 mile section of the Virginia Creeper Trail in […]

Senioritis in the Home Stretch of our Adventure

November 7, 2016 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

We were driving south out of Shenandoah National Park and I saw it. The sign for North Carolina, home. I was hit with the want and need for a house, a shower, and family. Part of me wanted to grab the wheel from Mark and veer right so badly. As the end of this trip […]

Being a Lame Dad in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

November 3, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Ten years ago on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, I hiked 38 miles through a day and most of a night to reach Harpers Ferry in time to catch the Friday morning 7am train into Washington, DC. I will never forget the events of this day, and on our Airstream adventure around America, I just had […]

How adventure has made me a better father

October 27, 2016 by Mark Kelley 4 Comments

As Katie and I have both mentioned in the past, one of our primary reasons for traveling is spending more time with our children. While we both worked full-time jobs, we recognized that our kids were growing up quickly and that we were spending a lot more time at work than with them. We determined […]
