Camping on the beach has its benefits

Camping on the beach (or near the beach in our case) has its benefits! Tonight we walked onto the beach and watched the sunset. What a beautiful sight!

Our travel day to NJ was fairly uneventful

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 17:04:00 +0000

Our travel day to NJ was fairly uneventful, but we made a last minute decision that may have made it a longer travel day! We had been planning to take the Lewes-Cape May ferry from DE to NJ since our next stop is Cape May. After seeing the traffic and ferry and having spoken with a few friends about taking an RV across on the ferry, we decided we would drive rather than take the ferry. Whlie we would be encouraged to explore the ferry and watch the water go by, we didn’t like that we would have to leave the dogs in the truck (with no way to keep an eye on them) while exploring the ferry. So, we’ve put it on our list for another time.

Wishing you a safe day celebrating 250 years of American Independence!

Checking out the Great Gravity Clock

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 15:30:00 +0000

Took a little time to check out the Great Gravity Clock in Fort Lauderdale —and it did not disappoint!

Did you know? There are only 3 of the Great Gravity Clocks operational in the world - the other two are in Singapore and London. These clocks are in a class of their own, “clocking in” at a whopping 52 FEET in height! They run completely on kinetic energy so they don’t need any power to keep them moving.

This dog loves to be outside

This dog loves to be outside. She also apparently loves to dig herself a hole to lay in to stay cool. Would you let this dirty dog back in your house?

Watch for falling Iguanas!

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 05:46:00 +0000

You may have heard about falling iguanas last week when it went to freezing over night in South Florida. Well, it’s a real thing!

Temperatures in the 30s and 40s will cause an iguana’s body processes to slow so much that they can’t hang on and will fall off of their perch. Usually as it warms back up, they will thaw out and move along like nothing happened. That was not the case for the one we found. 😞 I’m pretty sure the ~20ft drop to the ground from the tree above did him in.

We’re headed North.. in the winter!

Celebrating Steve for his birthday

We hope you enjoy this little video of moments we’ve shared over the years.

Happy dog 😀

Happy dog 😀

We made it to Birmingham

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 06:11:00 +0000

We made it to Alabama! Stopping for a few days in Birmingham to see a college friend of Kate’s. We really like the times we stay in Birmingham; these days give us a chance to recharge (and restock) before getting back on the road.

Watchdog woes and strange sounds

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:01:00 +0000

I’m pretty sure the Watchdog is not supposed to make that noise…

Drinking from the "Fountain of Youth"

Happy Independence Day!

Watching the Thunderbirds fly!

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Have you ever seen the Thunderbirds fly? They are amazing! We didn’t realize the Thunder & Lightning over Arizona air show was happening during our time in Tucson, so that was a really near surprise! At one point, the Thunderbirds went right over our RV - it was so awesome (and very loud!). These pilots put on a great show!

Tucker's Thoughts on Tuscon KOA

Wed, 28 May 2025 16:02:00 +0000

The KOA in Tucson has gravel sites and a concrete road with gravel mixed in, making it rough on dog toes. A smooth concrete border provides a nice transition between the two larger areas. It also gives Tucker a nice walkway that doesn’t hurt his sensitive toes.

Free citrus at the Tuscon KOA

Thu, 22 May 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The citrus tree in our site at the KOA in Tucson was in full bloom, so we were lucky enough to have an amazing citrus blossom smell! We also had a TON of bees. The bees didn’t bother us at all during our two week stay, even as we walked by and under the tree. Steve even washed the RV one day and they did not bother him!

The bees were just busy collecting pollen to take back and feed the hive. So interesting to watch!

Watching the white sands move!

Tue, 13 May 2025 07:00:00 +0000

While on our Ranger led sunset hike the wind really picked up. This video shows the sands moving in real time - easy to see how the dunes can move up to 8 feet per year!

Peregrine Falcon of Big Bend

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

While reading up on Big Bend, we found out that from February through May each year, parts of the park are closed to protect the nesting Peregrine falcons . These incredible birds were listed as an endangered species until 1999 and are still considered a threatened species in Texas.

Have you ever seen a roadrunner before?

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

They dont’ look anything like the cartoon, that’s for sure! This little guy was VERY curious about us, coming within mere inches of our feet! Looks like Steve might need to work on his roadrunner beeps, though.

Exploring a miniature Stonehenge

Sat, 29 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

This Stonehenge was the culmination of a joke between two friends in the 80’s and was donated to the Hill Country Arts Foundation in the 90’s after the owner passed away. Also donated was a 13-foot replica of a Moai from Easter Island.

And we're off! The start of 2025 travels

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 06:01:00 +0000

And… we’re off! Follow along as we start our 2025 travels leaving out of Brownsville, TX. Thanks to our friends at Rolling Bayou for taking (and sharing) our caravan video!

Updating our sticker board

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As we were leaving Rockport we added our Padre Island National Seashore sticker to our board. Do you keep track of the places you explore?

Here is where 2024 took us

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:35:00 +0000

Not the exact route we took, but here’s where 2024 took us! Lots of back and forth between Indiana and Florida. What an adventure!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!

Do you travel with a weather radio?

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 16:00:00 +0000

Do you travel with a weather radio? If not, we highly recommend getting one ! Our little weather radio is super loud when it goes off. It has woken us on several occasions, but is very helpful in alerting us of inclement weather regardless of our location.

A really cool part of the Pictured Rocks Cruise

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 10:06:00 +0000

A really cool part of the Pictured Rocks Cruise we took was going into Shallow Cove. The cove is only about 15 feet deep and is just barely big enough for the tour boat we were in. The water is so clear you can see to the bottom and see the fish swimming in it! Checkout the video:
