How would I describe this life in words? I am afraid I cannot do so adequately. The closest I can come is by sharing photos of the moments that bring us such contentment; though they are brief, they will have to suffice. Looking back at our favorite photos evokes more than just images, color, and…

Camping or Glamping
Camping is the outdoor activity of spending one or more nights away from home. This is primarily in a natural setting such as a forest, beach, or mountains. Camping involves sleeping in a temporary shelter such as a tent, cabin, RV, or even under the stars. Glamping is a glamorous form of camping. By definition,…
Time to Fly Away
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,…
Cheeseburger in New Mexico Paradise
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,…

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…
Wanderlust
Wanderlust settles in me like a too tight favorite jacket. I’m excited about wearing it, but it pinches all the same. School wraps up this week and the countdown begins. With that comes intense anxiety. Can I get everything done in time? What will I forget? I’m adding to and amending my packing list constantly. …
