Go ArnoldsOn Monday we made it to an old favorite from our previous travels: the Sunrise Campground in Bozeman Montana. As luck would have it, our friends Herb and Jeanie — whom we met here three years ago — happened to arrive that same day. It was great to catch up with them and made our […]
After THAT winter, we decided we don’t like being in cold places. So, we’re heading to Alaska. (While we are making deeper roots in Indianapolis, we will continue traveling every summer break.) The RV rode out the vicious winter in a nice barn in Northwest Ohio and suffered only a dead battery and a bad […]
A collection of favorite photos. A humorous anecdote or two. An inspirational take on a random encounter. A list of “lessons learned.” Those are the things I imagined putting into a bookend for this blog — an eloquent final entry to encapsulate the wonderful experience of living on the road with my family. But the […]
Talk about a week of mixed emotions. We had a very enjoyable time at Amy’s parents’ house in Ohio last week. But by Sunday afternoon, despite our hesitation, it was time to make the last leg of this trip. It was time to finish this. Three hours later, we were back in Indy: I tried […]
We finished our lovely week in New Jersey, and then on Friday we broke camp for the last time. We made it to State College (home of Penn State) in Pennsylvania where we boondocked in a Lowe’s parking lot. Nothing like going out in style: The next morning, Amy did her usual runners’ group meet-up […]
To continue from our cliffhanger previous post, the creek stopped rising, and the fridge situation turned out to be good-news/bad-news. The good news is that our fridge is operating as designed; the bad news is that its a sucky design. It just doesn’t do well when the temps get above 90 (I’m sure it would […]
It wasn’t the most action-packed week in Mystic CT, but it was a good one. We drove into town on Tuesday hoping to see their cool drawbridge in action, but we missed it. We did, however, walk past the town crown jewel: the Mystic Pizza joint, made sorta-famous in 1988 by the Julia Robert’s movie […]
It turned out to be a busy work week for me while in Cape Cod. But on Tuesday evening, we went out for a double-feature at the drive-in over in Wellfleet: Amy had been to a drive-in before, but it was a first for the girls and me: It was really fun, and the picture […]
I had a pretty busy work schedule early in the week last week, but Amy and the girls were able to meet up with my cousin Kathee and her kids on Monday at her nearby pond in Concord. (I’d get to see her as well as my Aunt Grayce later in the week.) On Tuesday […]
Maine is a really pretty state when it’s not raining. On Monday, we drove into nearby Bar Harbor (pronounced locally as “Bah Hah-bah”). Fortunately, the rain held off and we were even able to glimpse a slight sunset: We took a quick stroll through the touristy part of Bar Harbor before heading home: It was […]
