our stay in watkins glen state park ended on a friday morning and since we didn’t want to a) have derek use personal time to drive to our next spot and b) leave the finger lakes area, we hopped 45 minutes over to a campsite in ithaca for a couple of days. derek went straight […]
food
back to blah-tavia.
as previously mentioned, we made one last visit to batavia, this time to meet up with derek’s parents who were going to stay with at my mom’s house for their first ever vacation to batavia. we arrived a day early, to settle in and relax before the chaos began. a lovely breakfast at miss batavia […]
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 […]
letchworth. week 2.
our second week at letchworth was a little more low-key than the first. after all of the weekend campers cleared out, we took over the bathroom to get this grubby kid all cleaned up. since the showers only blast scalding hot water, we opted for the sink. we went to warsaw, to laurie’s diner or […]
batavia. random. to date.
we have been in batavia for about a week and a half. it’s mostly been very chill. we will stay through the weekend and then on memorial day, we will pack up and head over to letchworth state park for two weeks. i’m looking forward to it. but, here’s what’s been happening in batavia for […]
may 17th.
well. we are in batavia now. and i’ll post a generic post about that soon. but first. allow me to post about may 17th. it began, with a little drive to medina, to visit a toy train museum. which is apparently owned by the one and only “fireman marty”, a local fireman, who used to […]
queen city getaway before the getaway.
so. our camper wasn’t going to be ready friday. we were staying at derek’s mom’s house. they weren’t even there. we only had a couple of clothes changes with us. the situation was getting old. so, derek bought some points from his dad and booked us a fancy pants hotel in uptown charlotte for the […]
our first weeks of homelessness.
after our yard sale, we spent a couple of days getting the rest of the stuff cleared out of the house (which mostly consisted of paying our painters some extra cash to get stuff out of the house). and the following monday, we left for a local thousand trails campsite. here is the official “we […]
our last days in a house.
i was going to try to categorize this blog into several different blogs. one for “prepping to move out”, one for “easter eggs”, one for “hazel pottytrains”…. but, i’m just going to glob it all together here, and be all caught up, and move on with my life… here goes… on the night we arrived […]
family easter mountain trip
during our time “home”, we took a trip up to the boone/blowing rock/banner elk mountain region over easter with derek’s parents. our first stop, as usual, was the mast general store… on the way home, we decided to have some bbq at the peddlin’ pig. so good. then, it was time for an easter egg […]
