while perusing pinterest and other pockets of the internet for interesting things to do with kids in california, a little town called solvang kept popping up. basically, from what i understand, it was settled/invented/created by some danish folks from the midwest, who wanted a winter retreat in warm and sunny california. its now pretty much […]

wilderness lakes stuff.
i’m way way behind in blogging, but we haven’t had very good internet lately. so, to kick things off, i’m taking us way back, three campgrounds ago… after our time in palm desert, we spent a week in menifee, california at wilderness lakes. (we stayed there for a few days just before christmas last year). […]
medina lake, the first half.
when i started this post, we were at the halfway mark of our stay at medina lake rv resort. (when i imported the photos, they were completely out of order, so i got frustrated and quit and turned the computer over for several viewings of moana and about 50 how to draw youtube videos). but […]
two boring weeks in columbus texas.
we have been in texas now for two weeks. we are in the middle of nowhere. and we have been so bored. except for the weekend, when we went to austin. let me take you back to when we were still in louisiana. we were only there for one non-new orleans day and it was […]
new orleans, part two.
when i left off, we were just getting back from our “creole queen” riverboat adventure. we pick up the story on the walk back from the streetcar, near our hotel, where a local music shop had these really cool lego diorama of a mardi graw parade in its window. i narrowed it down to three […]
florida. week one.
so, i left off with our crew heading to jacksonville, florida to retrieve our camper. the long days of traveling have been rough on hazel. she made it all the way to jacksonville, but fell asleep on the three minute drive from the rv storage place to the walmart parking lot, where we planned to […]
harrisburg… museum + capitol.
our current campground is about 30 minutes from harrisburg, pennsylvania, which is cool for a couple of reasons. one, there are several free museums that we can visit with our science museum membership. and two, it’s the capital. so, a couple of days ago, off we went. we chose the whitaker center for arts and […]
eastern pa. so boring.
after our amazing five weeks in maine, our time in eastern pennsylvania was a bit of a letdown. it started with two, back to back, 4.5 hour travel days. it doesn’t seem like much, considering we used to make the 10-11 hour drive to ny from nc a few times a year. but, with packing […]
legoland!!!!
when we decided to take this five-ish week test trip in our camper, we centered the plans around meeting up with some other full time rv folks at legoland last friday. most of the folks were staying at a different campground at a “rally”, but we were not, so we just met up for this […]
downtown disney. disney springs.
earlier last week, i made the executive decision to head to downtown disney, only to find that it has been rebranded “disney springs” and there’s a ton of construction and confusion. once we drove around for an extra half hour or so, we managed to park as far away from the retail part as we […]
