We left our lovely oceanside site at Flagler Beach with one goal in mind – head north to cooler temperatures! With temperatures reaching into the upper 90s in much of the southeast, we knew it would be many miles before we saw relief, but we had to get them done sometime. Driveway Surfing in Georgia […]
Our Travels
A Day at the Beach: Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area – Flagler Beach, Florida
Ok well, maybe more accurately four days at the beach. We’ve crossed paths with the oceanfront campground at Gamble Rogers State Recreation area many times. We actually have stayed at other parks in the area, Tomoka and Faver Dykes, and very much enjoyed them. As we would pass by via A1A, I wasn’t quite sure […]
Two Weeks Catching Up in Melbourne, Florida
Ahhh.. returning from our 3-week adventure up to Canada. A break from routine, even when our normal is pretty variable, is awesome and soul-refreshing. We love the alternate perspective it gives us, which is why we love mixing up our travel styles from time to time. But returning home always has its adjustment period. We […]
New England & Canada by Sea & Rail
It’s no secret that we love mixing it up. While we consider our homebase to be a vintage bus conversation that we roam the continent in, we love traveling and exploring by other modalities too. When we bought our bus five years ago (wow, where on earth has the time gone??), we did so with […]
Friends & Vacation Preps in Clermont, FL: Lake Louisa State Park
With a week left to go until VACATION (not that we were excited or anything), we had one final stop planned before getting the bus ready to put in storage for a few weeks. And that was a visit to the Orlando area to catch up with some long time friends who live not too […]
Re-Charging at Hillsborough River State Park – Thonotosassa, FL
After a week of awesome family time in Spring Hill, and two back-to-back social dates with dear friends in the Tampa area – we were ready for some serious re-charge time. With an upcoming vacation, we desired being some place where we could super focus on getting work projects caught up, and get some peace […]
Trials and Tribulations of Getting a Spot at Fort De Soto Park – Tierra Verde, FL
I’ve talked before about campgrounds that have a legendary feel to them due to how many in our RVing community have shared amazing things about their stays. Fort De Soto Park at the tip of an island chain in the Gulf of Mexico just south of St. Petersburg, Florida is one such park that has […]
Family Time in Spring Hill, FL – Barrington Hills RV Resort
Our goal for getting to Florida on this time scale all started with wanting to meet up with Chris’ folks before they ended their snowbird season in Spring Hill. The time had finally come to put down the landing gear, stow our tray tables and put our seats in their upright positions (we did not however turn […]
Finally… Florida!! Mountain Biking at Santos Trailhead & Campground
First… whew. It’s been a wonderful and busy past week spending time with family. Now it’s time to get the blog caught up. Comparing schedules with family and possible RV parking options in Spring Hill, arriving on April 1st looked the most ideal. Which would give us a few days to play around with between our […]
Eastward Bound: The Florida Panhandle During Spring Break
We love the Florida panhandle, and I had dreams of some time on the beach at one of the many fabulous state park campgrounds on our way across. Times in the past we’ve stayed at Grayton Beach and St. Andrews State Parks, and would have liked to check out some of the other coveted spots […]
