Traveling with a large party means that there is a wide variety of interests among the people in your group. Not everyone loves shopping. Carnival rides are not everyone’s cup of tea. Nature is not everyone’s idea of a good time. But, everyone gets a choice and the unwritten rule is that you participate inContinue reading “Day 5: Thrills for Everyone!”

Day 4: When Life Gives You Limes…
Something about hearing the gentle pitter patter of rain on the roof while you snuggle down into your warm covers feels incredibly cozy and comforting, EXCEPT when you want to enjoy the outdoors on your vacation. We drove all this way. enduring eclipse traffic and dog farts, and the weather is not cooperating with usContinue reading “Day 4: When Life Gives You Limes…”
Day 3: See Life-Changing Astronomical Event, Then Sit in Traffic
Evansville, IN: Population 118,414, situated in the southern part of the state, is the third largest city in Indiana and, ultimately our chosen destination for viewing the Great American Eclipse of 2024. Although known for its commercial, medical, and cultural activity, our Evansville experience was limited to a view of the parking lot: Best Buy,Continue reading “Day 3: See Life-Changing Astronomical Event, Then Sit in Traffic”
Total Eclipse of the Heartland?
To steal the title from CBS This Morning… we are off and racing toward sunny skies to hunker down in a Walmart parking lot for five hours waiting to look up at the sun and watch it completely disappear. Sounds crazy, right? The thing is, that is what we are ALL doing today. Millions ofContinue reading “Total Eclipse of the Heartland?”
Day 2: A Tale of Three Firsts
First things first… GO UCONN! What a win over Alabama last night. Unfortunately our campsite neighbors were big Alabama fans – made for a bit of an awkward exchange this morning as we all disconnected our water and electricity this morning. LOL We woke to frost on the camper today. Did I mention we intentionallyContinue reading “Day 2: A Tale of Three Firsts”
Day 1: What Have We Done?
We said we were leaving at 8:00 AM and we did (pretty much). We packed last minute toiletries, made coffee, had breakfast, fired up Kevin and pulled out of the driveway at 8:03! We had hitched up the Jeep (the toad) complete with bike rack and literally just had to start the camper and leave.Continue reading “Day 1: What Have We Done?”
Guess Who’s Back? Back Again…
Hello, again, friends! And welcome to another RV season featuring our crazy cast of characters and one clunky, jam-packed RV named Kevin (pronouns she/her/hers). We are back for the 2024 camping season with a few upgrades and an ambitious itinerary that we will surely never keep to. We didn’t have a traditional adventure last year,Continue reading “Guess Who’s Back? Back Again…”
All Good Things Must Come to an End… Even if You Delay Them
July 9, 2022 It was supposed to be a big travel day. But then we got distracted. What should have been a ten hour trip will have taken us at least 16 hours by the time we pull into our driveway in the wee hours of Sunday morning. We aren’t very efficient, but you can’tContinue reading “All Good Things Must Come to an End… Even if You Delay Them”
Christmas in July
July 8, 2022 After five fun filled days at the Lake Leelanau Pines Campground, it was time to pack up Kevin and head towards CT. Packing up was fairly quick. Having done this before, we have a system and everything has its place in the camper. Without some kind of organization, we would never beContinue reading “Christmas in July”
Island Life
July 7, 2022 Today’s adventure itinerary was set by me. This has been my pick from the very beginning of our trip and I didn’t post about it because I didn’t actually believe it was going to happen. When we set out for these long trips, I usually set my heart on one place thatContinue reading “Island Life”
