Road Trip from Hell – Part 1
We are going to switch gears today and discuss the crazy occurrences of the last few days. It was moving day at Foster Park, where we had been staying for a few days while visiting Los Angeles and the Channel Islands National Park. The day was very relaxed, unlike most moving days. The boys andContinue reading “Road Trip from Hell – Part 1”
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? Well, the short version is we schedule everything when we return (for the most part). Having four kids means we have quite a few doctorContinue reading “How Do We Keep Up with “Normal” Life Things”
RV Bathroom Organization
Our first and only home, we sold back in March 2020, was a three bedroom, two bathroom house. Think of all the things you could fit in the cabinets, drawers, and showers in both of those bathrooms. 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”
When People Think You Are Crazy
Zach and I had made our plan to sell our first home and transition to RV living, but we had not told ANYONE yet (except our kids – big mistake!). We had been interviewing realtors and deciding when would be the best time to sell our home. Well…we had plans one night to go outContinue reading “When People Think You Are Crazy”
What We Bought Before RV Move-In Day
When living in an RV (part-time or full-time) you need some things to get up and running and make the RV liveable. Here is a comprehensive list of things we bought… MUST HAVES: Drinking Water Hose – Get at least a 50ft hose. The potable hoses are a pain in the rear to wind andContinue reading “What We Bought Before RV Move-In Day”
How We Found the *Perfect* RV and Tow Vehicle for OUR Family
If you read my article from last week (here), you know we started our searching process a year before it became a reality for us. We watched *all* the youtube videos and looked through *all* the rv websites. We knew we needed a bunkhouse, good sized living space, place for Zach to work and ourContinue reading “How We Found the *Perfect* RV and Tow Vehicle for OUR Family”
Memphis, Tennessee In A Night
I know, I know, another short stay in another great city where we could have most certainly spent more time. Unfortunately, we went to Florida for Thanksgiving and had to make it to Angel Fire, NM by the end of December to meet up with our family. Our family ended up not meeting up withContinue reading “Memphis, Tennessee In A Night”
