Both my family and Mark’s do a “Secret Santa” gift exchange for Christmas each year. It makes it super stress free on everyone. We each only have to buy 2 gifts for our families! It just decreases the amount of “stuff” you get that you don’t want or will never wear. We love it! Mark […]
Yosemite is beautiful, but…how do you avoid the crowds
It’s like nature Disneyland. I’m talking a group of 50 Japanese tourist being lead around the park by a guide with a flag. Just like Disney or the Louvre. It’s funny, I’m really learning exactly what I like in a park from all this travel. I like to have water free flowing. I like to […]
Look at Me Being a Laid Back, Go With the Flow Mom!
While we were in Joshua tree the kids had the best time climbing on all of the boulders and trails the park had to offer. Jane who wasn’t really physically adventurous before this trip would often climb up boulder piles 40 feet off the ground while our backs were turned. She was scooting down so […]
Sunrise Sessions with Wilson
Remember that post when I talked about the challenges of a family of four sleeping in an RV? Well, we’re still having some challenges establishing a routine while roaming the country, but our sleeping habits have normalized a bit. Every morning, Wilson wakes up about 6:00am. Sometimes 5:30am, and more rarely 6:30am. He doesn’t just […]
Junior Ranger: The CD
Before we left for our trip I was researching kid friendly things to do in the National Parks. The Junior Ranger program came up, which you know we love. But Jane is really into singing and music and loves to listen to kids cds in the car. Now that we’ve gone on this trip, Wilson […]
Keep The Change, Ya Filthy Animal.
A photo essay of my first quarter shower experience…..that I shared with Jane.
Property Management While Traveling Put to the Test
Well, it has happened, and it happened much sooner than I thought. One of the tenants in our rental properties back home had a legit emergency. In fact, it was the tenant in our home. The hot water heater pressure release valve spewed water all over the floor. We were fortunate that the hot water […]
What Are We Eating on Our RV Adventure
I’d say this is the question I get asked the most often. In the RV, when we’re connected to power at campground, we have an electric powered convection oven, microwave, and fridge. The stove top runs on gas. When we’re not hooked up to electricity (many campgrounds don’t offer it), the fridge and stove run […]
Is This Real Life?
Last time I asked myself this question, it was with a “Holy ¥#%*” tone. I couldn’t believe I was living in a trailer with my family. I felt very lacking. I wanted my big house back. I wanted my every day comforts back. I even found myself missing the routine of work. We had the […]
So many parks, so little time
As we make our way across America to southern California, I have become increasingly comfortable with the fact that we can’t experience every great place and park that America has to offer. One year is a long time, and it seems like enough time to see it all. Not so. We’re realizing just how much […]
