Every day, all day, our 15 year old son asks, “What’s for dinner?” Grant it, it gets annoying, but we think it’s his way of saying, “I love you.” At least I hope that’s what it means. Eating while traveling can be difficult or fun. For us, it’s part of the draw. It’s the challenge,…

Rainy Days and Tuesdays
One of the inevitable circumstances of RVing is weather. Watching diligently from multiple sources keeps the traveler aware. Today is one of those days. We spent the night at Cracker Barrel due to two failed attempts at Walmart. The first Walmart was in a not so safe area and had signs posted everywhere boldly pronouncing…
Day 3 Adventures and Breakfast Burritos
We left Mississippi this morning after semi-rough night. We’ve had worse but definitely a noisy night at Loves. We stopped at this Louisiana rest stop for a bite to eat and a quick selfie. No Boy in the picture because he was hot and grumpy and stayed in Betty Deux. Breakfast for travel days needs…
Strolling the Alleyways
2018 Quaint little alleyway between shops in Blowing Rock, NC. When we travel we like to find towns that are unusual. Blowing Rock is very pretty and full of neat shops and restaurants on its Main Street. Strolling along a path such as this creates a sense of stepping back in time and to a place of peace…
Off again
6/12023 Bertha has had more body (engine) work than Cardi B. Plus, there are four new dualie tires. Every year, Jim puts in a lot of work on both Betty and Bertha (camper and truck) to make sure they are prepared for our long trips. Jim is meticulous and thorough with his repairs. Knowing your…
Toaster House Pie Town NM
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…
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…

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…
