We chose to spend two weeks in Fort Collins, Colorado, a college town about one hour north of Denver.  This was used as a base for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park, and just for exploring a new city.  Fort Collins, to me, is like a […]

We arrived into Colorado via Wyoming, and it was a beautiful drive.  This was another new state for the boys to visit, and it had been a long time since I had been to Colorado. We visited Rocky Mountain National Park on Memorial Day weekend which […]

In a recent post, I discussed our plan to spend the summer traveling and staying in vacation rentals.  Because of some struggles I had with finding accommodations on short notice, we chose to try a few Extended Stay Hotels and see how that would work. After […]

Our first time in Seattle was during May, when we stayed downtown a few days before our Alaska cruise.  The weather was nice, and we enjoyed our time.  However, we returned to Seattle for a second time around, staying two weeks in a hotel in the […]

Before purchasing the RV, our original idea for traveling was to spend one month at a time in a different US city, renting vacation rentals, for the span of one year.  We had read about another family who also did unconventional travel, using sites such as HomeAway […]

It has been almost two years since we drove off in our RV, both terrified and excited, and began our journey on the open road with our little boys. Our intention was to try this RVing thing, and explore places on our bucket lists, such as […]

After our first visit to Mexico, we could not resist the intrigue of Baja California, and decided to go back and make a weekend of it in Ensenada. We booked a hotel, and left very early on Saturday morning, arriving at the border before 7am. […]

If you had asked me a few years ago what I thought about the idea of renting out my house and traveling full-time, I would have scoffed and told you, “there is NO way I could do that!  I have… (insert excuse here- a job, kids […]

While staying in San Diego, we met up with cousins that live just south of San Diego. A few of their family members also lived across the border in Mexico. Together, we decided to take a day trip into Baja California, including Tijuana and Rosarito, […]

Picking up and leaving behind your family, friends, and your community is a huge fear that people face when deciding to full time travel. It is one of the single most reasons that people cannot commit to full time travel. After a year and a half […]

Travel is both a hobby and a passion for me, so I read travel books, watch DVD’s, and read travel blogs habitually. Planning is just plain fun. Crazy, right?  So I wanted to share some of the resources I use when planning to visit a new […]

Last year while visiting San Diego, we visited many of the popular attractions, such as the San Diego Zoo, Legoland, and LaJolla Beach.  This year we hit some new places that we greatly enjoyed. Here are 6 awesome San Diego spots for families: USS Midway […]

So here is the thing about doing new things: it’s pretty unnerving, and sometimes downright terrifying!  But, every time we stretch, and do something just a little bit outside of our comfort zone, we grow.  When we face our fear, and then come through the other […]

While in Palm Springs, we took a drive to the Indian Canyons, Agua Client Indian Reservation.  There is an admission fee, and there was quite a line to get in, but the trails were very nice. The Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians settled in the area […]
