I’ve written before about how much it costs to live fulltime in an RV, at least when stationary. On the East Coast, it’s not really any cheaper than being an apartment dweller. Well, in our case it isn’t cheaper. But what about travel? Is that any less expensive? For the past two months while we [...]
If you don’t really want to wade through 60 days’ worth of posts, I’ll break it down for you: Williamsburg: Stayed in an okay park, ate some good food, did some shopping and geocaching, got a little Colonial American history. Lex had her only real days off during the whole trip. Stone Mountain: Stayed in [...]
We traveled 1400 miles in three days to get from Texas back to Maryland. Initially, we’d planned on taking it a bit more slowly and dividing the trip up over four days, but when I asked Lex if she preferred getting home sooner and having a day off before heading back to work, she voted [...]

We were up around 8:00 a.m., and at 8:30 sharp, my friend Melinda knocked on the door. She was carrying homemade breakfast tacos AND a pan of cinnamon rolls! She brought us some El Milagro tortilla chips and a bag of groceries! That was so incredibly kind and generous. She must have figured we look [...]

Today was our last full day in San Antonio. Lex spent part of that day in town at a work-related meeting. I stayed home, cleaned house, and waited for a college friend, Melinda, to show up for a visit in the afternoon. We hadn’t seen each other in nearly fifteen years, but when she got [...]
About 10:00 a.m., Lex found out that her boss had called a meeting of her company’s employees at a local Starbucks (everyone in San Antonio or linked to the San Antonio office now telecommutes) from noon to 3:00 p.m. But, but, but….I had to be in Gonzales for the funeral at 3:00 p.m. What to [...]

Today was pretty low-key. I stayed in most of the day, crocheted, read books, and watched TV. Pretty dull, really. All my friends are working during the week, so there’s really no one to go see at the moment. Plus, I’m broke until payday, so I can’t really afford to go out just for the [...]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve started to establish some standards for what makes a really nice RV park. Here’s my list: Nice staff/owners – it makes a big difference to have decent people in the park office. The Moers in Gonzales set the bar really high in this department. Spacious sites – I guess [...]
Today was the family reunion. I couldn’t stay very long, but I needed to put in an appearance. I haven’t been in years, and I had promised my uncle I’d be there. I was glad I went. I got to see relatives I hadn’t seen in forever (most since my father’s funeral five years ago) [...]

Today we drove Alex to the airport and San Antonio and bid her goodbye. The week flew by so quickly! We enjoyed her visit and miss her already. Alexis then stopped by North Star Mall to put her name on a waiting list for the iPhone 4G. Yes, she is that geek. While she was [...]
