We arrived in San Diego Saturday afternoon and headed to our Airbnb in the University Heights neighborhood. For this three-week trip, we wanted to be able to cook and eat in as much as possible because eating out for three weeks is not at all appealing, so we’re staying...
Our 2026 snowbird adventure has begun, but it’s just Mark and I – we did not bring RoVer Too along on this trip. To mix things up a bit, we decided to fly the friendly skies instead of driving the open road, and we hopped a flight from Chicago...
Our final day in Albuquerque was Wednesday 10/15, and we really didn’t do much – restocked at the grocery store and made a trip to Planet Fitness. Thursday morning, we headed East to the town of Tucumcari, New Mexico. It’s one of the many towns that thrived in the...
We’re not in Kansas anymore! On Tuesday, we continued our journey West, crossing into Colorado and then heading Southwest to Colorado Springs. I’ve only spent a little time in Denver, and have always been so fascinated by the beauty of Colorado, so we’ll actually be spending four whole days...
On Sunday, July 27, we headed North into Wisconsin for our next adventure! Our first stop is Pardeeville, WI, about 35 miles North of Madison in Central Wisconsin. We had a late start from home since the campground has a strict 4pm check-in time – most campgrounds are 1...
We had a fairly short drive from Lebanon to Logan on Tuesday June 24th, so we made a stop on the way at Ohio’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Chillicothe, OH. There are several locations within this National Park Service site, each preserving...
After arriving at the Crystal River KOA early Friday afternoon (March 7th), we took Saturday morning for some much-needed downtime, and then made a short drive in the afternoon to Three Sisters Springs. This area is popular for Manatees due to the springs that maintain a year-round temperature of...
Our drive on Wednesday (Feb. 19th) was smooth and uneventful, taking us South to Highway 1, which becomes the Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys. We stopped for lunch at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park; we stretched our legs in their visitor center and by the beach. The...
Monday morning should have been our departure from Rapid City to start making our way East to Chicago, but there was a wind advisory in effect until late afternoon, with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. That’s incredibly unsafe for high-profile vehicles like ours, so we paid...
For our first day in South Dakota (Thursday Sept 26th), we drove about an hour to Badlands National Park. We visited here in 2010, but like most National Parks, felt it was worth a return visit. Plus, they say it’s eroding about an inch each year, so those 14...
