Only July 15, we pulled out of the heat of St. Louis and headed northward to our next stop – Madison, WI. On the way, we were in search of hopefully finding a nice, peaceful waterfront campground to chill at for a couple days in the shade. After so much social time, and just […]

St. Louis – Not to be Flown Over
When I first met Chris and found out his family is from St. Louis – I wasn’t all that thrilled. In my mind, it was in the midwest and thus one of those places you fly over. On my first visit with him there, I have to admit – I was very skeptical. Over the […]
Fourth of July – Fair St. Louis AirShow & Fireworks
One of the perks of being camped at the Casino Queen RV Park is the incredible location – directly across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis and the Arch. Though the RV park is a lot more cramped and crowded than we like (it is little more than a big parking lot), the views […]
Date Night in St. Louis
The heat wave has continued for much of the US, including record breaking heat in St. Louis. We have to admit, we’ve gotten a bit stir crazy sitting in the bus all day trying to keep cool. The drone of the roof top air conditioners alone is enough to be maddening. This is exactly the […]
Surprise! We’re in St. Louis!
I haven’t mentioned the primary reason I am thankful that our stay in Austin got extended. The Roller Coaster Ride No, this part isn’t about some awesome amusement park we went to. If you’ve been following along this year, than you probably already know that ‘something’ was up with my dad’s health at the beginning […]
When Serendipity Knocks
When last we updated, we had extended our stay in Austin as long as Pecan Grove could keep us – until Friday the 8th. On Thursday evening we gathered with our friends in the area, and said our ‘until next times’ once again. Friday morning, we both woke-up and started the begrudging task of preparing […]
Austin – Oh, How We Love You!
If I had to claim anywhere as my hometown, I’d have to go with Austin. I lived here from the time I was 4 until I moved out on my own at 19. Unfortunately, at age 19 I was not yet cool enough to realize just how unique of a city Austin is. I’m blessed […]
Our State Park Trail to Texas
Whenever we’re making a repositioning, it’s always a choice of what pace to take. Do we concentrate on just getting to our next destination by having long driving days and few stops? Or do we meander and take time to explore? Both have their benefits. We didn’t have an event in Austin we were aiming […]
Cedar Key Bliss
Few places in our travels have seriously tempted us into actually looking at real estate during our visit. Cedar Key was just such a place, and we can totally understand why our new friends Pat & Cindy Bonish took an extended hiatus there after their years of RVing to run the Low Key Hideaway. Now […]
Marching On
The month of March found us mostly staying put in Melbourne, FL to be close to my parents. Aside from seemingly endless doctors appointments and treatments; we managed a lot of chill quality family time, catching up on work & projects, exploring the area and some social time. My brother and his girlfriend were able […]
