we finally pulled into our campsite at watkins glen state park around 7pm, so an executive decision was made to go straight to dinner. another executive decision was made to make it mexican. after dinner, we took a quick drive down to the water, to see the last bit of daylight disappear over seneca lake.

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 […]
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 2.
once again, i find myself playing blog catch up. so despite it being a beautiful day, i’m going to attempt to race through a few posts from the inside of our warm tin can camper. i’ll begin by wrapping up our second week in ohio. we were pretty lazy on the day after our cuyahoga […]
our first weeks of homelessness.

clermont, FL. week one.
ahhhhhh. wifi. we haven’t had it for the entire week. well, we had derek’s work hotspot, but we have tried to use that very little for personal stuff. but, he ordered something that gives us some data, and now i’m cruising along. so. prepare for a flurry of updates, because we have had a busy […]
a boring august recap.
the second half of summer flew past in a flash. i hit up some consignment sales for clothes for the annababy, who can still squeeze into 4t clothes, but they are quite short. i took her with me, and wound up purchasing a darth vader costume, which she insisted on wearing everywhere, much to the amusement […]
