Today we are celebrating our blog’s 8th birthday! It’s been a busy year! We traveled to 17 states and stayed at several new campgrounds; one even had a beach side tiki bar! We were able to attend the big FRVA International Convention in Georgia. Thank you to everyone that attended, laughed at Mark’s jokes and…

Ouray in the Fall
I’m so excited we are returning to Ouray, Colorado and showing it to our dear friends. It’s only one of our favorite places, pretty no matter what time of year but absolutely spectacular in the fall. As I’ve said before, Aspen trees are my favorite tree. It’s like they are waving to you the way…
Ouray Riverside Resort
Ouray, Colorado is one of our favorite places. It is truly a magical place. We found it in 2001 on our way home from Yellowstone. We only planned on staying one night but that quickly changed to three. Our first stay was at the Ouray KOA north of town. We rented a Jeep right from…
Downtown Riverside RV Park
This is an unexpected gem in Little Rock, Arkansas. We were trekking across the country for the FRVA Rally in Georgia after a stop in Alabama to get some work done on our motorhome. Mark read good things about park and the drive time worked to stay a night. It’s located immediately east of I-30…
Snickerdoodles
You know my love for chocolate chip cookies. It runs deep. These snickerdoodles run a close second. Especially in Mark’s eyes. He likes them so much I keep Cream of Tartar in the RV so I’m always ready! He asked for them fresh from the RV several years ago while we were in Alabama. “Can…
Remembering the North Rim
Losing the Lodge and Visitor’s center along with employee housing and guest cabins last week was tough to watch. Initial pictures had me thinking it was totally gone and, it kind of is. However, the stone remains as well as the patio Adirondack chairs and several cabins. The campground general store may still be standing,…
Jalapeno Bacon Mac & Cheese
It’s National Mac & Cheese Day! Today’s post is “oh so good” and a perfect way to celebrate this delicious day! I’ve cheated making macaroni and cheese almost my entire adult life. Making it from scratch just took too long for this busy mom. I am hereby apologizing to my children right now for this…
Easy Apple Crisp
I went to my first kitchen party not long after we got married. The company isn’t in business anymore, I think Pampered Chef cornered the market and squeezed them out. I still have the items I bought 20+ years later. One thing I use over and over again from that party is this Apple Crisp…
Independence Day
Happy 249th birthday to our United States of America! On this day in 1776, 56 brave men signed the Declaration of Independence and our nation was born. However you celebrate this day, take a moment to think of those amazing people who came together to make this great place called the United States of America.
Patriotic Cookie Bars
Independence Day is a time to celebrate the birth of our great country. We celebrate with parades, fireworks and great summertime food. While apple pies, cherry pies and ice cream are tops on the list, these sugar cookie bars are giving the traditional favorites a run for their money. They are tasty, RV friendly and…
