The Virginia Creeper Trail is a beautiful and easy bicycle ride, sixteen miles downhill along an old railroad bed in the Virginia mountains. We stop at the Green Cove Station museum and the Creeper Trail Cafe for their “World Famous Chocolate Cake.” Is it as good as they say? Read More →

We’re eager to hear from you. Please leave comments, questions, and suggestions below!Read More →

Zion National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States, and for very good reason. It is home to some of the most beautiful scenery, majestic mountains, fascinating wildlife, and natural wonders you’re ever likely to find in one reasonably accessible place. We spent three days camping in and exploring Zion, and here are some of our best tips to get the most out of your visit: 1. Camp inside of the park. If at all possible, reserve a campsite at one of Zion’s two campgrounds (Watchman Campground has full hook-ups, while South campground is primitive), or rent a roomRead More →
One of my (Jeff’s) earliest memories is sitting in front of our tiny black-and-white TV, watching John Glenn blast into space atop a Mercury rocket. Fast forward a few years and I remember the excitement of staying up late to watch Neil Armstrong become the first human to walk on the moon. But despite watching many rocket launches on TV, I had never been in the right place at the right time to see one in person. That is, until now. While at the Thousand Trails Orlando RV Resort, we learned that there would be a daytime rocket launch from Cape Canaveral during our stay.Read More →
We’re not into gambling, but Las Vegas seemed like a great place to fly our kids for their spring break. Of course there are lots of ways to spend money in Vegas, and we enjoyed some great shows, walking the strip, and delicious buffets. But for our video we decided to focus on three great Las Vegas day trips (well – one night trip) that were the highlights of our stay. Valley of Fire State Park is stunning and offers great hiking opportunities for all levels of fitness. We even brought our little dog Mitzi along! But get there early. Like so many “remote” sites,Read More →
We finally made it to New Orleans! Last year we planned to stop at the Big Easy on our way from Florida to Texas, but our plans were foiled by freezing weather and closed interstates. By the time the roads opened (and after we’d spent three shivering days in Theodore, Alabama) we had to bypass NOLA and hightail it to Texas for a church meeting. But this year things worked out great! We pulled into beautiful Bayou Signet State Park and headed out to explore. Now, if you’ve been following us for long, you know that we are not “party animals,” so hitting all ofRead More →
