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 […]
common ground park. (lakeland, fl).
in my evening googling, yelping and trip advisoring, i came across this really cool park about 45-50 minutes away from the campsite. i ran it by the kiddos, and they were game, so off we went. there was soooo much to do and i’ll spare you any descriptions of the kids just playing. it was […]
