Stop 17 – Mystic, CT
One of the memories that sticks out most about Mystic, CT was the drive to get there. When we first started this journey I was filled with anxiety about towing this massive rig. I never could have imagined that one day I would be pulling it through the middle of New York City. That happened.…

Stop 16 – Cape May, NJ
After an overnight stop in Lincoln, DE at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Resort and then driving 3.5 hours up and around Delaware Bay only to end up less than an hour away from where we started we finally arrived in Cape May, NJ. Cape May was very picturesque and had plenty of that New England charm.…

Stop 15 – Ocean City, MD
Our trip from Williamsburg, VA to Ocean City, MD was one of the most interesting travel days we’ve had. I finally got to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and it didn’t dissapoint, especially since the max height was 13′ 6″ and our rig is 13′ 5″. At one point you can see the beginning and…

Stop 14 – Williamsburg, VA
After an overnight stay in West Virginia and a beautiful drive through the mountains our 1-week stop in Virginia began. Our campground was beautiful, tons of large coniferous trees with giant pine cones! The first couple of days were unseasonably warm but then things cooled off and settled in the mid-60s to 70s throughout the…

Stop 13 – Pigeon Forge, TN
Have you ever experienced the emotion of knowing one day you’ll look back at the present moment and ache that it’s gone? I had a couple of those moments during our time in Pigeon Forge, TN. We love this area, we’ve been several times for family vacations. There’s so much to do so we knew…

Stop 12 – Myrtle Beach, SC
We left Florida with a great sense of anticipation. We are so excited to see more of the east coast! We stopped for the night in Savannah, GA and had a beautiful spot on a large pond. We also grabbed dinner at a really cool place on the water called The Fish Dock. The following…

Stop 11 – Disney’s Fort Wilderness
It’s a nice place to visit, and I would LOVE to live there! At the time I’m writing this we’ve just crossed the 1-year mark of our RV adventure! Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground is by far the most beautiful campsite we’ve had during our travels. It was like living in the middle of a forest…

Stop 10 – Kissimmee, FL
Our prolonged Florida stay started with a stop at Tropical Palms Resort in Kissimmee Florida. It was especially beautiful pulling into the colorful-cabin-filled resort after a very cold winter in Texas. It was sunny and warm as we pulled in and waited to be assigned a lot number. The spaces were very tight but once…

Reflecting on 2021
This was a huge year for me both professionally and personally, in fact I can’t believe how much has changed. We sold our home and moved into an RV! The year started with incredible joy as we were finally able to have a viable pregnancy after adopting several embryos. Unfortunately not long after we suffered…

Stop 9 – Gulf Shores, AL
Gulf Shores was beautiful! We spent the better part of a week minutes away from the Gulf with a constant breeze and 70-ish degree temperatures. We spent lots of time outside but only a few hours on the beach. I can’t describe how amazing it is to be back on the road traveling the country…
