The route has been charted, the parks selected, and the reservations made. So here’s where we’re going this summer:
Today was the final day of my ten days of freedom from school. I didn’t grade a single paper or even log into my work e-mail until today. It was wonderful! That’s not to say I did NOTHING school related. On Monday I did take a group of students geocaching up to Northern Maryland, Delaware, [...]

Only two years after getting rid of about 80% of everything we owned, we have discovered that the “stuff” has crept back into our lives to the point that it can’t all safely fit in the rig anymore. Technically, it can fit, but it puts us far over our load limit. Since our travel is [...]
So, obviously, I have a blog about our RV adventures. If you’re reading this, you knew that already. I’ve not made a secret of our rather unconventional home on wheels or our travels. In fact, where I teach, I’ve actually presented about fulltime RVing to some of my interested colleagues. I’ve also publicized my blog [...]

So we threw out that entire plan that I mentioned in my last post. We’re not moving out of the rig, not getting an apartment, none of that. Instead, a few other things have happened. I paid off my VW Golf, which was step one in the now-defunct plan. Then I took it to the [...]
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 [...]
