Toaster House. Pie Town, NM. This was just a few yards down from where we stayed. This house is like a hostel for bike riders. It’s a simple house that has a few places for them to sleep, rest, shower and eat. Fridge seems to always be stocked with simple foods. Watched a YouTube video…

Yes, it’s raining but in Florida it would not dip this low.
Scenes from Rend Lake
We are currently back at Rend Lake, more specifically Wayne Fitzgerald State Park. We have come here for the past several years at the end of our trips and have always enjoyed its immense peace and beauty. This year we are here early and plan on staying as long as we possibly can. Our goal…
What’s in it for me
RV’ing from a kid’s perspective. Recently a co-worker had commented on all the renovation work we have been doing to Betty Deux, our Keystone Outback travel trailer. She made the comment that she’d like to go camping, but didn’t think her kids would like it. Let’s face it, with the way kids are “plugged-in” now…
Ribbit -Write it Down
One of the best things we ever bought was a camping journal. We have gone back and referred to it many times, sometimes just to reminisce and others for important information. I try to journal for each trip, writing down the weather, name of campground (even if it’s a Walmart), things we did, saw, and…
We’re Off…….
well maybe tomorrow. Every summer we take off as soon as school is out. As long as we don’t leave on a Friday. That’s bad luck. So we leave on a Saturday. Well, we would have, but after celebrating the last day of school with dinner and wine we decided on….SUNDAY. Now, I think this…
Take Time to Smell the Roses
Then take time to process the pictures! Our summers are so precious to us, filled with wandering, wonder, resting and lots of love. I see so much during these times and strive to capture as many memories as possible. I see the new world through my husband’s sense of excitement, my son’s careful considerations and…

Our Cup of Tea
Say the words “Let’s go camping,” and each person will conjure up a different scene in their head. When I was younger with small children, camping meant pulling out the tent, sleeping bags, coolers full of ice and goodies and of course, lots of bug spray. Not any more. I’m too old for sleeping on…
Hipcamp Craziness
It saddens me that one of the first post for this summer’s trip is going to be a sad one. But, unfortunately, that is the way it is sometimes with this way of life. Can’t all be sunshine and Kumbayas. We have had many days of point A to point B travel. We’ve stayed at…
