Adventures out and about!
This past weekend was the Dallas RV Show. We went for an hour or two on Sunday. To check it out. Not to buy anything. The major takeaway is that there’s no other RV we want. Really. Before we bought our RV, every dealer told us, “You’ll get one, and within a year, you’ll have…
The Water Gardens at Fort Worth were exactly what we expected. I mentioned before that we try not to set expectations of places we plan to visit because we don’t want to be let down. If you look through our blog, you’ll notice I never wrote a blog on the Great Smoky Mountains, or Orlando.…
The sun did me dirty last week. It charred my skin right up. I was like a burnt piece of beef jerky. It was not cute nor comfortable. The culprit? Staying outside in 95 degree temps lounging by the swimming pool with a UV rating of stay-the-hell-inside. You want me to say I’ll be careful…
My dad rode his bicycle across the United States before it was cool, back in 1977. Fresh out of college, he packed up his stuff into 2 pannier bags and headed East from Eugene, Oregon without any plans. In our own way, Jeremiah and I are following in similar footsteps as my dad – no…
While we walked to the corner donut shop this morning, I realized how many walks we take now. Before we shoved our belongings into the home on wheels, we had a large fenced yard. When we bought our home, we had several projects we deemed most important: first, tearing out the high pile red carpet…
I have been known to imbibe in the alcoholic spirits on a pretty frequent basis. For a while, I was into wine. Red. Not white. Then, one day before I met my friends Kelly and Stevey at a reading at a local bar I googled, ‘What is a sophisticated drink?’ The result? Gin and tonic.…
My secret keeper lives in Maryland and goes by the name of Scott Xavier. Recently, his wife Alissa, began slipping into first place for my secret keeper, but Scott held a solid first place for many years. Whenever I have a new idea that I want to share with someone who can keep their mouth…
This past week, I scheduled a two-hour meeting. That’s a long time for me to sit still. Ask Jeremiah and he’ll let you know I can’t watch a full movie. When we go to a theater, I spend more time making up the stories about people sitting around us than I do watching the actual…
In Atlanta, there is more than Coca-Cola. But, let’s be real. There is a ton of Coca-Cola. So much, in fact, that we had to entertain the idea of going to the World of Coca-Cola museum where I was on the edge of a stomachache from taking sips of 6 different soda flavors coke flavors,…
When we visited Victoria this past September, we had already purchased our motorhome and were counting down the days until we could get on the road full-time. We had planned the trip to Victoria months earlier to bury Jeremiah’s grandparents on an Island called Gabriola, a place I unexpectedly fell in love with. We left…
