I don’t know why RV manufacturers don’t incorporate this idea into new RVs! It is absolute genius! I had struggled with getting in and out of the VERY HIGH bed. I had a small step stool next to the bed, which is the only way I could comfortably get up and down. I also tend to […]
Time Flies!
Wow! This month marks 1 year that we’ve had our camper. In that time we’ve gone camping 19 times! That averages about once every 3 weeks! That’s a lot of camping. 🙂 We are starting to plan our 2017 trips and have decided that every 3-4 weeks is good. Sometimes, we had been so anxious […]
My new favorite thing!
I LOVE my new Lodge cast iron pan! Up until now, I had “sworn” by cooking in foil over a fire. But no more! I had gotten tired of food cooking unevenly, leaking foil packs, and the steaming mess when we had to open those foil packs that I tried so hard to seal shut! With […]
OMG I drove the trailer!
Okay, technically, I drove the truck that was pulling the trailer. But, this was my first time and it was exhilarating! (Don’t I look serious?) Hubby injured his ankle and wasn’t able to drive. So, it was either we stay home or I drive and, of course, I wasn’t staying home. So, I drove from […]

In Florida, we anxiously await the arrival of fall. The first crisp day without humidity sends chills up our spines. This was that weekend. […]
Camping in a Hurricane?
We live along the intracoastal waterway in Florida and Hurricane Matthew had just torn up the Bahamas! Our first instincts were to secure the house and get the heck out of there. Of course, we couldn’t leave our precious camper in the path of this monster. Since our little hotel on wheels could take us […]
The Keurig that started it all.
In the week between “Hey, let’s stop in at that RV dealership just for kicks” and “Holy cow, we just bought a camper”, there was my husband’s company Christmas party. At the party, we were each given a raffle ticket for a chance at something from the room full of stuff they were raffling away. Basically, […]
The Driveway
I am, by nature, a researcher. If we are planning a vacation, I will spend weeks researching before we ever pack the first sock. I want to find the best flights at the best rates, the perfect hotel in the perfect location and the best prices. I will even plan every activity on every day […]
