Our travels take us many places. There is a general direction and, at times, a purpose. The first week of travel is usually made up of one nighters, Walmarts, rest areas, and travel centers. Storms sent us directions we hadn’t really planned on. It’s better safe than on course. Time to Fly Away. This year,…

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…
Anticipation
Today is my birthday. It’s also a day we have anticipated for months – it’s a travel day. Fraught with tension, wondering if anything has been forgotten or left undone. We think too hard. We think hard about the days yet experienced, only a glimpse of a direction in our minds. Our plans fall on…

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…
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…
