Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? Are you all thinking of the camel in the Geigo commercial? The 101st International FMCA Rally in Tucson is 101 days away! See what I did there. March is a great time to be in Arizona. The day temps are perfect with spectacular sunsets followed…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Hacienda RV Resort
Our recent trek to Georgia and back had us scouring RV forums for places to stop and sleep for the night. We didn’t have the luxury of spending a few days in each stopping point; our drive was mission oriented. The drive from Arizona to Georgia then back again needed to be done at a…
Turkey in the Dirt
Yes, you read that correctly. For the last several years we have celebrated Thanksgiving in the California desert. Don’t think we skimp on the feast just because we are dry camping in the middle of nowhere. We go all out. It’s a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. The day starts much like it…
Save $ With FMCA
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…
Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
One of the last trips we took in our trusty Winnebago Class C was to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, the granddaddy of all balloon events. We’d heard people talk about how great the event was for years but that did not prepare us adequately for the complete awesomeness of it all. We tagged along with…
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Mark’s cousin hit a milestone birthday in July. Dare I share the number? I probably shouldn’t. Playing a round of golf at Pebble Beach was number one on his bucket list. His wife set up it all up and off we went. Mark is a big golfer. He was even captain of the golf team…
Grandparents Abroad
We had an RV-less adventure recently 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 tracing a bit of our family roots. My grandmother was English, a forever subject of the queen. She was born in the early…
French Quarter RV Resort
Our recent super quick trip to New Orleans was made better by being able to stay nearby. Both of us had seen rave reviews about French Quarter RV Resort and knew it was the place for us as we wanted to maximize our time being tourists. We were there St. Patrick’s Day weekend and it…
Biking NOLA
My first time to New Orleans was definitely one to remember! We stopped for St. Patrick’s Day weekend on our way home from the FMCA Rally in Georgia. Mark has been several times for work but I was a NOLA newbie for sure. It was a long drive from Perry to New Orleans and we…
Minot Musings
The 100th FMCA Rally in Minot, North Dakota is just around the corner! It’s sure to be another fabulous Rally full of information, RVs and fun. Anyone else excited? Minot dates back to vast railroad expansion in 1886 and named after Henry Minot. The town nickname, Magic City, comes from the tent town that sprang…
