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. We purchased a used Sprinter passenger van, removed … Continue reading It’s been a minute…
Camping
Still Here
We’re still here… traveling when we can and enjoying time with family and friends. We sold our wonderful Micro Minnie simply because we miss having a motorhome.
Horse Show Camping
The beginning of November means… it's horse show time! You may remember from previous posts that our niece rides in horse shows. The shows remind me of dance recitals - an afternoon of spirited music, sparkly costumes and kids wearing huge smiles. There was the occasional toddler meltdown or sudden bout of stage fright, but … Continue reading Horse Show Camping
Meet Winnie
Meet Winnie... our Winnebago Micro Minnie. For our first ‘shakedown’ trip, we camped at Grayson Highlands State Park with the #StillWinnie Adventure Team and additional friends. How many Winnies do you see? Fantastic food, bikes on the Creeper Trail, sweet dogs and good times with friends... life is good.

The Beach and the Mountains
The past few months at home in the mountains has been nice - yard work, random fix-it projects, purging/cleaning/organizing closets, family time, walks/hikes, starting new hobbies, and lots of time relaxing on the porch swing and in the hammock. We are truly grateful. After only a few inquiries about our RV, we decided to load … Continue reading The Beach and the Mountains

The weather has been less than ideal - dreary, cold, and extremely … Continue reading Travel Update #5, cold weather

"Rubbin', son, is racin'." - Harry Hogge (Days of Thunder) Love ya Harry, but there wasn't any rubbin' during the Super Lap Battle yesterday or today during what we dubbed Ferrari day and we thoroughly enjoyed the racin'.
