Out of the Cubicle onto the Open Road
While I had heard that Mississippi has the highest poverty rate around the country, as we drove around the state, we did not see any real problems in the areas that we were driving in. Coming from Alabama, the roads were in good condition and most of the towns we visited seemed to have a [...]
We spent almost two months in Florida so I decided to divide my Florida blogs into three parts: Orlando (stayed one week), Everglades (stayed one week), and everything else. This is the everything else blog! Grab a glass a wine or a craft beer and settle in for a long post:) Generally, Florida is not [...]
After crisscrossing both North and South Carolina, we were ready just to head straight down the coast of Georgia. Our first stop was Fort Pulaski National Monument. The fort itself was fully intact and worth a visit. The fort took more fire than most other forts we had seen (check out the picture with all [...]
Before we left on the trip, we had a family of squirrels move into (and damage) our porch column. Who knew it was even hollow? So on top of everything we had to do to get ready to leave: pack; clean; rent out the home; store items; etc, we also had to deal with the [...]
Once again, I go into the RV’s onboard bathroom, only to discover that someone before me has peed and left a mess for me to discover. “Who peed ON the toilet?”, I ask again for the fortieth time. What has this got to do with RV travel you ask? Well, most people ask how we [...]
We took the ferry from New York across to Burlington, Vermont. Immediately after leaving the ferry, we drove to a small museum, The Echo Lake Aquarium and Science Center. The kids enjoyed their time here, but we are starting to see a duplication of exhibits and things to do in each state. It does not [...]
No, I didn’t get into Chicago as we decided to divert around big cities after our time in Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is hard to park the beast no matter what but particularly in big cities. Also, it is hard to turn around when you make a wrong turn, so my possible love affair [...]
We usually plan the night before where and what we are going to do the next day. Sometimes we have a very scheduled plan and sometimes just a vague idea. However, sometimes we do not have the proper time to plan at all after eating, cleaning, getting the boys to bed, and catching up on [...]
Rule # 1 is NO # 2. Caution: If reading about bodily functions offends you, stop reading this post now! It seemed like an easy enough plan; we were only going to use our RV restroom to void our bladders. We did not want to risk the smell or sanitation issues that come with #2. [...]
As most folks know, Yellowstone National Park was the first designated national park in the country and we loved it! It was not scenic and beautiful like the other national parks we had seen thus far on the trip but it was strange, different, and unique, (my favorite things). My younger son thought it looked [...]
