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…
Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
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…
Orangeland RV Park
We found this gem of a campground during our recent trip to California. Orangeland RV Park is located in the City of Orange, across the Santa Ana River from Angel Stadium and the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks. It’s also only a few miles from Disneyland and California Adventure, making it a great…
O Canada!
Our first trip to Canada in our motor home was part of our three-week cross-country trek. We left Arizona as soon as Jeff’s last baseball playoff game was over and hit the road. To quote the song from Smokey and the Bandit, “We had a long way to go and a short time to get…
Vineyards RV Park
When people tell you Texas Hill Country is pretty, believe them. They are 100% telling the truth. There are a few RV parks to choose from in Fredericksburg. Our choice was The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park because we’d read good things and vineyard RV parks in other wine country areas have been winners. We…
