Early in 2022, Will and I came to two very important realizations: 1) we are not ready to end this adventure, and 2) Cate was just not cutting it anymore. Obviously, we made the travel trailer work for well over a year and a half, but with Bird continuing to grow, our goals to beContinue reading “Introducing Beulah: Our Fifth Wheel”

48th State!
On our way out to Colorado, we had a mission: visit the final 4 states in the lower 48. Somehow, we had managed to skirt around Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, and we knew we could make it happen. We had originally hoped to reach our 48th state on or just before Bird’s 3rd birthday,Continue reading “48th State!”
A Weekend Adventure to Celebrate Will
Sure, we’ve been on the road for 2 years, but somehow a weekend of hotel stays felt more like roughing it than any night we’ve ever spent in an RV. Suddenly, it was possible to forget a toothbrush or beloved baby doll. We were taking the truck and leaving our home behind. For Will’s birthday,Continue reading “A Weekend Adventure to Celebrate Will”
Cooling Down in Grand Junction
Of the handful of times we visited Grand Junction over the summer, I think we had one visit where the temperature was under 100°F. Needless to say, after our first naïve trip where the planned entertainment was visiting a park, we had to get creative to find some indoor alternatives. While the park was absolutelyContinue reading “Cooling Down in Grand Junction”
Celebrating 2 Years on the Road…with Covid
I had big plans for us to celebrate 2 years on the road. Okay, maybe it’s more accurate to say I had plans to have plans to celebrate. You know, like going out to dinner, going to get ice cream, blowing up a few balloons, something low-key but a celebration nonetheless. After all, we’ve livedContinue reading “Celebrating 2 Years on the Road…with Covid”
5 Years of Marriage, a Lifetime of Memories
I knew early on in our relationship that I’d found my travel partner in Will. Our first Christmas together, I bought him (a map guy) a map of the US that we could scratch off each state as we visited together, with a goal of seeing all 50 states together. Never did I imagine thatContinue reading “5 Years of Marriage, a Lifetime of Memories”
Survival Mode
For the past few months, it has felt like we have been operating in survival mode. We left Georgia with big plans to upgrade our truck and rig, and while we eventually achieved those goals, it was not without a lot of headaches along the way. Technically, we should have had our new truck whenContinue reading “Survival Mode”
Mother-Daughter Adventure to Etowah Indian Mounds, Georgia
Since coming to the mountains of north Georgia, I have been wary of driving. The ice and snow and rain that descended upon us as soon as we arrived played a part in that wariness, but mostly it was my anxiety. I had been to town a couple of times on my own, but forContinue reading “Mother-Daughter Adventure to Etowah Indian Mounds, Georgia”
Doing the Best We Know, Hiking the Amadahy Trail, Carter’s Lake, Georgia
We had Bird out of the pack doing some hiking when we finally got to a point on the Amadahy Trail where we could safely get down to the lake. The trail down was steep and slick with leaves, but we made it down with no issues. On the way back up, Bird was feelingContinue reading “Doing the Best We Know, Hiking the Amadahy Trail, Carter’s Lake, Georgia”
Mama and Bird Head South, Florida
As soon as we knew we would be spending 3 months in Georgia, we started making plans for Bird and me to spend some time with my parents in south Florida. I had planned to continue to work during our visit, but once I realized I desperately needed some time off, this trip was theContinue reading “Mama and Bird Head South, Florida”
