Wisconsin. What did our traveling family of five want to experience in Wisconsin. My state planning was hardly anything by the time we crossed the border. We had received some recommendations and then headed toward a general direction to wing it. Little did we know how much we would find and how much our whole… Continue reading Wisconsin
Georgia – Our Favorite Stops
Peaches are what come to mind when I think of Georgia. The sweet-savory flavor of biting into the fresh fruit or popping the lid from home-bottled peaches starts my salivary glands running. Georgia has more than peaches. Atlanta has a lot of fun activities like the aquarium, the World of Coco-cola and Six-Flags but we… Continue reading Georgia – Our Favorite Stops
Disney Day pack list
Nothing can ruin a day at Disney like forgetting something or hauling tired kids all over the park. That is why I put together this list as I was at Disney so I would remember for our next trip. Here is a quick list of great things to pack if you are headed to Disney.… Continue reading Disney Day pack list
Florida – Sunshine State
Oh, how the Sunshine State did not disappoint. We basked in the sun, visited long-time, life-long friends, hit the southernmost part of the United States, toured the mysterious Everglades, sang and danced with Disney cast and “lucked out” at the Sun’N’Fun Airshow. Having visited the Sunshine State state a time or two before we had… Continue reading Florida – Sunshine State
Our Favorite Times in Tennessee
From Elvis to the Grand Ol, Opry, I feel we got a pretty good taste of Tennessee. Tennessee was actually one of my anticipated stops on our route because of my childhood dream of becoming a country star. Fortunately, we were able to hit the two main music cities in Tennessee! Memphis and Nashville and… Continue reading Our Favorite Times in Tennessee

Now… Continue reading Everything you need to know about the derby
Tessa’s 4th Birthday at Jellystone Mammoth Cave

Little did they know Jellystone would soon become a favorite stop on our 50 states in 50 weeks tour of the United States. Since we were at Jellystone we borrowed… Continue reading Tessa’s 4th Birthday at Jellystone Mammoth Cave
Our Favorite Memories from Kentucky
Our trip to Kentucky was epic! We actually planned Kentucky around the derby…and the derby did not disappoint. Little did we know how much fun we would have in the rest of the state. We paddled the Ohio, slowly traversed downstairs in Mammoth cave and had our own adventures in Jellystone. Cumberland Falls… Continue reading Our Favorite Memories from Kentucky
Savannah Canoe and Kayak
Nothing is more tranquil than a paddle on calm water. This time I am on the ocean around Little Tybee Island. Bird sounds surround me, I look down, and see something in the water. What is it? My heart starts to race, a fin begins to break the surface of the water. Then a gray… Continue reading Savannah Canoe and Kayak
Our First Kentucky Derby
The Kentucky Derby was a must for our 50 states in 50 weeks RV adventure. It was actually the only stop we planned around. Every other state just had to fall into place. Needless to say we had a blast and there is so much more to the derby than Saturday horse racing and fancy… Continue reading Our First Kentucky Derby
