I’m going to get the important part out of the way: everyone should go on a swamp boat tour! Our “almost two full days” in New Orleans turned into a very late arrival and one full day thanks to slide issues on the RV. Luckily our Plantation and Swamp Boat tours weren’t affected. We…
Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Mount Rushmore
I remember seeing pictures of Mount Rushmore and thinking to myself, “Someday, I’m going to get to see it in person.” Someday has arrived! Even better, it was the first time to see this giant wall of granite for both of us. As is becoming a theme with us, I wish we had planned more…
Historic Downtown Pensacola
The forecast for our two days in town was iffy. Friday promised sun with a little wind while Saturday looked to be a washout. Perfect, we’ll ride to that restaurant on Friday when we arrive then get laundry done on Saturday while it rained. We woke to bright sunshine Saturday morning and quickly pivoted to…
Touring Berlin
Full disclosure, I didn’t expect to like Berlin as much as I did. I really loved our visit and would love to return. We like taking the train in Europe; we love looking at the countryside and seeing the towns we travel through. The walk from the train station to our hotel took…
Lafitte’s Treasure Rally Recap
The pirate ship sailed to the Georgia National Fairgrounds with 1,574 happy pirates among the various RVs. The Perry, Georgia location showed again why it’s our favorite rally location. We arrived Sunday afternoon during a break in the rain and were parked and set up before the next round, next to our friends…
White Sands National Park
We stopped in Las Cruces on our way home from the eclipse. We’ve stopped there before but just for an overnight. This time we decided to spend a day and check out White Sands National Park. I’m glad we did. It’s about an hour drive from Hacienda RV Park in Las Cruces through the White…
FMCA Rally People
Today we are sharing an oldie but a goodie, our first FMCA Rally in Perry, GA. Technically it wasn’t really our first. We attended one in Arizona on a day pass but went after work and missed so much. The rally in Perry was the first one we attended and camped. If you’re curious what…
Grandparents Abroad
In honor of Grandparents Day yesterday, we are reposting our UK trip which turned into a fun trip tracing some of our family roots. We had an RV-less adventure when we took a plane (gasp) to the UK, visiting England, Scotland and Ireland. We hit all the main sights but had the added fun of…
Zoo Berlin
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a fun trip to Europe. This time we explored Germany and the Netherlands before spending a few days on a canal boat in England. Little did we know what a fun surprise the Zoo Berlin was! We didn’t know our hotel was right next to the zoo. We…
Redmond Adventures
The next FMCA Rally will be here in Redmond a few weeks. We camped near the fairgrounds in 2017 for a family wedding. All of our activities were wedding related, we squeezed in an afternoon in Bend before we had to head home. Reading up on the fun things to do in and near Redmond,…
