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…
Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
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,…
Jeeping & Jetting in Moab
Oh Moab, two days was not enough! We’ve been to Moab several times, although more times than I’d like to admit, our only stop was for gas. Our first time in town was technically a drive through on our way from Park City to Telluride. Yes, staying on I-70 to Grand Junction then south was…
Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse is always exciting, but a total solar eclipse is exceptionally exciting. I still remember standing on the playground in 6th grade holding a white piece of paper with a tiny hole poked in it watching my first total eclipse. Mrs. Cloud, Mr. Valderama and Mrs. Wright were close by reminding us not…
LBJ and GWB Homes
We dubbed our trek across Texas The Presidential Drive. We drove east across Texas on a mission. We had two days to get from Arizona to Georgia for the FMCA Rally which meant little time for stopping. But, a wonderful thing happened in the early morning as we left Van Horn, TX. Mark agreed to…
Walking Downtown Fredericksburg
As I’ve said many times, I love me some little downtown areas. I love walking up and down the streets, especially ones with old western boardwalks, and learning the histories of these places. Downtown Fredericksburg, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, ranks near the top of all the downtown places we’ve been. I’m so…
Life Long Camper
When I say Mark grew up camping, I really mean it. He has camped his entire life. It was a white 1964 Corvair Van. A camping van complete with a little refrigerator, sink and stove. They later added a little pop up for the top that added another sleeping spot. Then came a little awning…
Touring Tucson
Tucson is going to be center stage for the next FMCA Rally! But there is so much more to the area than just the fairgrounds. No matter how you like your activities, inside or outside, Southern Arizona has it all. Reid Park Zoo Located 16 miles from the Pima County Fairgrounds, the zoo is home…
Fall into FMCA Savings!
We have a new season upon us. Leaves are changing and there is a crisp in the air, just not in our corner of the world. Autumn here means the 100 degree temps are mostly done. It means we’ll be able to turn off the air conditioner and give it a much needed break. It…
