Tucker was our early riser today. Fortunately, Tom snuck him out of the camper and took him down the way to play catch for awhile. Penny and Griffin (and also me) then slept until 8am. Miraculous. We had heard the weather would be questionable today so we weren’t entirely sure what we’d be able toContinue Reading Maine Day 4

Everyone slept hard last night and no one emerged from their cocoons until about 7:30. The weather was perfect for sleeping and all the kids slept straight through the night. We weren’t sure how much site seeing we’d do, considering we woke up to ocean mist and fog. While driving the loop road, we weren’tContinue Reading Maine Day 3

We were packed up and out by 10 headed for Acadia. Admittedly, we were not as prepared food wise and hadn’t yet shipped for groceries. The kids started the day with a couple handfuls of animal crackers and off we went. We searched for a spot to grab coffee and a bite and although GoogleContinue Reading Maine 2018 Day 2

Our first trip back in the camper in 2018 and everyone is pumped. Per usual, our plan to be out of the house was delayed by an hour or more, but we made it out the door nonetheless. We traveled from Londonderry to Wiscasset, Maine and arrived shortly after 5pm. Our immediate opinion of theContinue Reading Maine 2018 Day 1

I still have the final days of our trip to catch up with, but finally, we have made it home. In a few days I'll catch up – for now I'll appreciate this space!

We talked this morning with the kids about the remainder of our trip and what's left to do. They are excited to see their cousins in Virginia Beach and then head home. Tucker asked to add some days on because "these have been the best days of his life" hearing that brought this whole tripContinue Reading Day 37 Tennessee 3/3

It was a rough morning as we unfortunately, did not kill all the mosquitoes the night before. We all woke up with several new bites. Griffin having received the brunt. We tended our wounds and got on the road by 10 for another long drive. Destination, Nashville, TN. Our first stop the Adventure Science Center.Continue Reading Day 36 Tennessee 2/3

Another continental breakfast in the books and off we went. Since our campground was right outside Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi, we stopped at 10:30 with hopes we could check in early. Luckily we were able to drop the camper and head into the city. Our first attraction: the Memphis Zoo. We hadContinue Reading Day 35 Tennessee 1/3

We woke up to rain today. Lots of rain. Heavy rain. Sideways rain. Rain that seemed to come up from the bottom. So. Much. Rain. It really threw a wrench in our plans. Tom took Penny and Griffin to find some breakfast. That’s when it really started raining. I zipped up the camper and waitedContinue Reading Day 34 Arkansas 2/3

Much to Tom's dismay, our morning got a later start than we wanted. We didn't leave OK (because it's so hard to say goodbye to those we care about) until 11:30. We spent most of the day in the car. It was another long drive – 5.5 hours to Murfreesboro, Arkansas. Half way there weContinue Reading Day 33 Arkansas 1/3
