Stop 8 – Bunkie, LA
Our overnight stay in Louisiana was supposed to be purely practical. Stop, relax for a bit and then get some rest before hitting the road the next morning. But when we pulled up and saw this park we were tempted to change our plans and stay for the remainder of the week instead of continuing…

Stop 7 – Alvarado TX
This park is one for the books! Beautiful views out in the middle of the country, very nice concrete pads, a dark park and several playgrounds, a pond! This has been a truly great stay for us. This park will probably be most remembered by the time we spent with family here. On several occasions…

Stop 6 – Corral City, TX
Back home again, for a while. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t excited about coming back to Texas. It felt like Texas was holding us hostage for the first 4 months of our RV life. We were so excited to hit the road at the end of July and didn’t plan on coming back until mid-November,…

Stop 5 – Decatur City, Iowa
For our fifth RV park we spent a week in Dacatur City, Iowa. This was mostly a utility stop on our way back to Texas so Crys could begin treatment for her sciatica but we made a few memories! There wasn’t much to do in town but it was one of the more interesting small…

Stop 4 – Somerset, WI
Stop 4 was bittersweet. We saw more of the country for the first time, but most of the time I was alone as Crys and Lil were in Texas visiting family and doctors to help figure what’s going on with her back/legs. I did manage to have a good time, though! The weather was incredible…

Reflecting on Stop 3 – Wisconsin Dells, WI
If there was any doubt that this RV lifestyle was perfect for us Wisconsin Dells put an end to it. We had an incredible time despite some pretty significant challenges. The town was more than we could have imagined; so many cool shops and restaurants, water parks. I can’t believe you don’t hear more people…

Stop 3 – Wisconsin Dells, WI
We’ve successfully arrived at our 3rd stop of our RV journey in Wisconsin Dells, WI! The drive from Illinois was very smooth and uneventful, which was nice after the hiccups we encountered the last few days. Now we’re parked at site 10 at an RV park that’s surrounded by large pines near Wisconsin Dells. We…

Stop 2 – Kankakee, IL
Yesterday was a big (and stressful) day! We towed our RV for the first time! I was very relieved with how easy to pull, but you can bet your biscuit I’ll do everything I can to avoid backing it up! The day started with me over filling the black tank when flushing it. I got…

Our 2021 Cancun Trip
Earlier this year Crys and I decided that since COVID was calming down a little bit and we’d already had our vaccinations we were going to take a trip somewhere for our anniversary. We’ve been on several cruises and every time we get back we talk about wishing we had gone to an all-inclusive resort…
