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
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
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 […]
One of the Things I’m Most Proud of..
One of the things I’m most proud of is my kids’ ability to look out the window while we drive. Yes, on this trip, I’ve let Jane and Wilson watch a DVD or two on our long drives. I’ll be the first to admit that they’ve seen more TV this year than they ever have […]
Hale Farm & Village Fall Festival, Hudson, New York
In addition to the amazing Bike Aboard! program and The Ledges, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is also home to Hale Farm and Village. We saw signs all week advertising Hale Farm and Village’s Fall Festival. Mark rolled his eyes while mine lit up. He doesn’t do crowds. I convinced Mark that if we got there […]
Things I’m Really Going to Miss
You all know I love to share what drives me nuts about living in a tiny Airstream and our trip. And since we’ve been blogging I’ve also learned that YOU all LOVE when I share what I hate too. Sorry, I’m not sorry. This is a post about the little things I’ll miss when we […]
Voting on the Road
Based on the intensity of the political posts I’ve seen on Facebook and Twitter, I’m glad I’ve been largely disconnected from mass media this year and avoided the incessant political commercials on television and radio. My view of the web and social media streams are still covered with Trump and Clinton banner ads, but I […]
Holiday Traditions, AirStream Style
Being a total basic, I love fall. Though I dislike pumpkin spice lattes. Gag! I attribute it to having lived in Florida from ages 0-18 and never getting to experience the change in season. Those Floridians, they’re deprived of basic human joys! Back at home I would spend time to plan out three areas in […]
Kind Kids
So I’ll attribute this 100% to Daniel Tiger. It has nothing to do with me. I’m not an overly “kind” person. But my kids are! Jane and Wilson have each adopted an adorable trail behavior. When we go for hikes, Jane will take a sheet of stickers and whenever we pass someone else on the […]
Katie’s Weekly B*tch Sesh
Are you tired of me complaining about our really fun life yet? NO? Ok! Good! I’ve thought of something totally gross that I can’t stand about living in the Airstream that I have yet to whine about to you kind folks. Our towels make me wretch. I’m guessing your first thought is that they smell […]
