beach
our stay at the shire.
after ohio, we went back to my sister’s house for a few days of mooch-docking on her property in angola. she has all sorts of animals and ponds and creeks and dune buggies and four wheelers and a trampoline and a giant bath tub and a million legos. basically, it’s heaven for any kid. we […]
ohio. week 1.
at first glance, we thought our trip to ohio would be sort of boring. our site seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. we were mostly just trying to get a few free weeks in our network of rv parks that we are members of (thousand trails). anyhow, on our first day, we did […]
last days in tampa bay.
when i last left you, we were waiting for my dad and cousin to arrive for dinner. well, they came. we cooked. kids played. everyone ate. a good time was had. the kiddos started out with peppa pig, but then the ipads and phones and such were busted out and everyone became a screen junkie… […]

lake louisa state park
our campsite is about 5 miles down the road from lake louisa state park, which is the number one rated “thing to do” on trip advisor for the clermont area. we had also heard good things about it from some camp neighbors, so on friday, with cool temps, we decided to give it a go. […]
action packed saint augustine day.
the sun was out on our first morning in saint augustine. i had spent the evening before looking for possible fun things to do with the kids, but everything seemed kind of boring for a 9, 5 and 2 year old. lots of historical tours and such. so, we set off for the beach. we […]
charleston. doctors and beaches.
