We had about a 3.5 hour drive to our next campground on Tuesday. Everything went smoothly when we left Virginia – got our propane tank filled, hooked up the car, and were on the road pretty quickly. The drive was smooth and easy – hardly any traffic, which is...
Monticello, Bonsai, and Electricity
We had a really interesting and fun weekend…when we weren’t worrying about electrical issues with the RV! If you’re interested in the details of that, it’s at the end of the post…feel free to skip it if you’d prefer. I’ll start with the fun stuff! Saturday was a bright,...
On the Road Again…
On the road again! We are back for season two with RoVer, and we’re testing out the snowbird lifestyle…heading south for the winter (or most of it, anyway!). While we have talked about doing this for a while, our ‘real’ planning for this trip started back in September when...
Season One Finale

Warning, this is a long post…but it is the last one for several months and covers several days! We had a quiet morning at the campground on Saturday; Connor had a paper to write, so he focused on that for a few hours while we relaxed, took a walk,...
Batteries & Boondocking

Well, we are back on the road, but it wasn’t looking too promising a few days ago. In my last post, RoVer was at the repair shop for some electrical issues after we canceled our Hudson Valley trip. She spent that entire week there, and finally they felt they...
Our Lucky Day…

- RV
We SHOULD be in Rhinebeck, NY right now, in the Hudson Valley, excited about three days there. Instead, we are home in Webster. It’s our lucky day. Let me start with the backstory – as I mentioned previously, we bought a Buick Encore GX which can be flat-towed behind...
Field of Honor

For our final night, we enjoyed a nice Solo Stove fire and a much quieter campground. We were amazed at how many people left Sunday morning – the place was completely different Sunday night vs. Saturday night (and much more to our liking!) Monday we were up early and...

Before I continue, a couple of quick thoughts about The Biltmore that I forgot to include with my last post. My new bucket list item is a return visit at Christmas time. I saw some photos of what the house looks like in full décor, and it is stunning....
Gardens, an Estate, and some Ducks
Once the rain ended on Wednesday, we were treated to the most amazing sunset! What was particularly interesting is that the pictures we took were actually towards the East, where the sunset was reflecting onto the clouds and creating the most incredible colors in the sky. Wow! Totally worth...
Turtles, Driftwood, and the Lowcountry
Monday morning, we headed North on I-95 and detoured out to Jekyll Island, GA. I’d heard it was a wonderful place, and it truly is! We only spent a couple hours there, but we are confident we’ll be back – we both just loved the vibe and the scenery!...
