We LOVE visiting our National Parks, and one of our favorites, Acadia National Park, is “Just up the road a bit” in beautiful Maine. Today’s video features best of Acadia National Park including the Park Loop Road (with Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and more), sunrise on Cadillac Mountain (is it worth getting up at 4:00 am?), exploring and eating in Bar Harbor, and riding the Schoodic Peninsula, from The Narrows Too Campground. Did we miss one of your favorite places? Let us know here or on the YouTube comments!Read More →
There are so many things to see and do around Cape Cod, but we think we found some of the best including Plymouth Plantation, the Mayflower, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, The Black Whale restaurant (for scallops), and bicycling both the Cape Cod Canal and the Shining Sea Bike Path. Which is your favorite? What did we miss? Please leave a comment here or in the comments section of video on YouTube! Read More →
Installing an Automatic Generator Starter so the AC stays on when shore power goes off. One of the great joys of RVing is being able to bring our dogs with us wherever we go. But sometimes we need to leave our furry friends “at home” in the RV while we visit museums, eat out at wonderful restaurants, or head out for a hike or bike ride. If it’s a hot day, of course we leave the air conditioners running so that our puppies can remain cool and comfortable. But what if there’s a power failure at the campground? What if the circuit breaker on theRead More →
While exploring North Carolina we were able to visit two inspiring sites that resonate deeply with our faith: The Billy Graham Library, and the Waldensian Trail of Faith Museum. The first tells the story of one of the most well known Christians of the 20th century, and the other the story of a courageous group of believers who translated the Bible into French at the peril of their lives. We are thrilled to share their stories with you in this short video! Read More →
We’ve added two new videos since our last blog update, and we think that they’re both a lot of fun. In the first video we invite you along on our visit to St. Augustine. St. Augustine is the oldest city in Florida, and full of beautiful things to see and fascinating things to do. We only had a couple of days to camp at Anastasia State Park, but we managed to enjoy the beach, a tour on the Old Town Trolly, and a visit to the St. Augustine Light House and museum. We definitely want to go back again when we have the opportunity! InRead More →

When we first started traveling in our RV, the concept of “boondocking,” or camping without water/electric/sewer hookups, was downright intimidating. In fact, it wasn’t until our second year that we got up the courage to spend a night – just one night – boondocking at a Walmart. Eventually, after many nights at Walmarts, Cracker Barrels, and Harvest Hosts, we got up the courage to book a week of boondocking at the Bayside Wildlife Management Area near Navarre, Florida. Unfortunately, due to unusually cold weather, we had to pull up stakes and head back to hookups before the week was over. The biggest issues we facedRead More →
Manatees, shelling and cycling (and getting LOST) on Sanibel Island, and visiting the Edison and Ford Winter Estates. You’re invited to come along with us in our latest video to enjoy the best of Fort Myers, Florida! Read More →
Each winter since we’ve been RVing we’ve had the goal of going to the Florida Keys. But between bad weather, full campgrounds, and family commitments, it’s taken us until this year to make it. And wow, was it worth the wait! There’s something magical as you leave the mainland, driving south on US 1. Island by island, bridge after bridge, the water seems to get bluer and the scenery more serene. Our goal was Big Pine Key, where we had reservations for ten nights at Sunshine Key RV Resort. Normally campsites at Sunshine Key can cost $110/night or more, but as members of Thousand TrailsRead More →
