Next stop: The Clinton Library Next stop: Hot Springs, AR … Continue reading Memphis, Little Rock, and Hot Springs

It’s been a minute…
It’s been a minute… or a year plus. I apologize for the delay, but we've been living life and soaking up time with family and friends. After months of shopping and indecisiveness regarding whether to get a Class A, B, or C, we decided to try #vanlife.
