Been an awesome few days since my last post. Our stops at Gettysburg, Washington D.C., and colonial Williamsburg were all successful - even if in varying degrees. In order, I'd say we enjoyed...

More than halfway, friends. I'm not sad. In fact, leaving Florida after our multi-day stay I got a new shot of enthusiasm for the days that are still ahead. We were a mite concerned that the time in...

We have two weeks left on our massive RV odyssey and I have to say it's surpassed even my (likely inflated) expectations. A lot of people asked me why I'd want to take a baby and a five year old on a...

Ran into a good friend in the cafe at work today. Even before we got to talking, I knew what the subject was going to be. It’s OK, I’m not tired of talking about the trip… I mean… what else am I...
