Aloha from Hawaii! We finally got started traveling again. As many of you know, we had to return to Austin, Texas (our homebase) to have baby Huxton, so we had to quit traveling for a few months with plans to start again when things settled down.

COVID on the Road
As everyone knows in March of 2020 everything shut down. No one could travel, go out to eat or do anything except basic necessities like run to the grocery store. We had already sold our house a week before the shut down and had moved into our apartment to begin the transition to RV living.Continue reading “COVID on the Road”
How Do We Keep Up with “Normal” Life Things
Doctor appointments, dentist appointments, and car repairs oh my! If we are traveling all the time, how the heck do we keep up with “normal” life while on the road?

Now take one of those bathrooms and shrink it down to the size of a powder bath. HowContinue reading “RV Bathroom Organization”
When Traveling Gets Hard
We have been in our RV for seven months now. A couple of months we were in Austin but from October to January we were on the road. That is Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all on the road. That is also time away from family and friends. Has it been hard? Yes. But,Continue reading “When Traveling Gets Hard”
Travel Days – What We Take/Do
When you have a few kids and you travel often on the road, you can’t stop every hour to eat, use the restroom, etc. You would be broke and a 3-4 hour trip would take 6-7 hours. Believe me, we started our RV journey not really being prepared on travel days. I remember our firstContinue reading “Travel Days – What We Take/Do”

A Day in the Life
Living in a house versus living in an RV is a completely different lifestyle. When you live in a house, you can send your kids to their rooms, take a relaxing bath in your master suite, or even cook a large meal for your family. These are all things that are challenging and not necessarilyContinue reading “A Day in the Life”
