I wasn&#8217;t sure it was going to happen this year, but it has! We purchased a class C RV so we can travel during the summer, occasional weekends and whenever else Lil isn&#8217;t in school. We spent a great deal of time searching but we finally found the make/model that works best for us, the [&hellip;]

What's new with me?

In April of 2021 we sold everything we owned, including our home and went full time on the road in our fifth wheel. The experience has been everything I had hoped it would be. Our time together as a family and the memories we&#8217;ve made will stay with us forever. If you haven&#8217;t been following [&hellip;]

Niagara Falls

After our stay in Vermont it was time to make our way towards Niagara Falls, NY. I visited the falls about 15 years ago and was excited for Crys and Lil to be able to experience just how awe-inspiring they are. We found an RV park just a few miles from the Canadian border called [&hellip;]

There&#8217;s something about Maine that really draws me in. It&#8217;s not the most beautiful state, I think Vermont or Colorado takes that award, but the combination of the fishing gear, boats, lighthouses, rocky coastline makes it a place that&#8217;s very special to me. Even though Kennebunkport didn&#8217;t quite have the volume of activities we were [&hellip;]

RV-ing

After leaving Mystic, CT we had an overnight stop in Richmond, Rhode Island which was a true hidden gem. We contemplated extending our stop there just so we could enjoy the lush trees, the giant playground and explore the cool general store they had onsite. They even had a restaurant that had wonderful fresh seafood. [&hellip;]

One of the memories that sticks out most about Mystic, CT was the drive to get there. When we first started this journey I was filled with anxiety about towing this massive rig.

Our trip from Williamsburg, VA to Ocean City, MD was one of the most interesting travel days we&#8217;ve had. I finally got to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and it didn&#8217;t dissapoint, especially since the max height was 13&#8242; 6&#8243; and our rig is 13&#8242; 5&#8243;.

After an overnight stay in West Virginia and a beautiful drive through the mountains our 1-week stop in Virginia began. Our campground was beautiful, tons of large coniferous trees with giant pine cones! The first couple of days were unseasonably warm but then things cooled off and settled in the mid-60s to 70s throughout the [&hellip;]

Have you ever experienced the emotion of knowing one day you&#8217;ll look back at the present moment and ache that it&#8217;s gone?

This park is one for the books! Beautiful views out in the middle of the country, very nice concrete pads, a dark park and several playgrounds, a pond! This has been a truly great stay for us.

Back home again, for a while. I&#8217;ll be honest, I wasn&#8217;t excited about coming back to Texas. It felt like Texas was holding us hostage for the first 4 months of our RV life.

For our fifth RV park we spent a week in Dacatur City, Iowa. This was mostly a utility stop on our way back to Texas so Crys could begin treatment for her sciatica but we made a few memories! There wasn&#8217;t much to do in town but it was one of the more interesting small [&hellip;]

Stop 4 was bittersweet. We saw more of the country for the first time, but most of the time I was alone as Crys and Lil were in Texas visiting family and doctors to help figure what&#8217;s going on with her back/legs. I did manage to have a good time, though! The weather was incredible [&hellip;]

If there was any doubt that this RV lifestyle was perfect for us Wisconsin Dells put an end to it. We had an incredible time despite some pretty significant challenges.

Yesterday was a big (and stressful) day! We towed our RV for the first time! I was very relieved with how easy to pull, but you can bet your biscuit I’ll do everything I can to avoid backing it up! The day started with me over filling the black tank when flushing it. I got [&hellip;]
