It was a pretty low-key week of school and work, but we did make some time for a mid-week trek through the Adirondack mountains: As Carrie repeatedly noted last week, the bugs were bad. But the view at the top made it worth it: On Friday, we drove into Vermont in what we would be the start […]

RV Trip: Back on the road
This is going to be a quickest post ever, mainly because I’ve been negligent in taking any photos of what we’ve been doing for the last three weeks. Here’s a quick recap in bullet-point form: We were back in Indy the week of May 6 for a vehicle inspection so we could get the RV […]
I’m playing catchup again. Here’s a recap of the last two weeks: After leaving Washington DC, we made a brief stop in Baltimore. While it was a full workday for me, Amy and the girls made a visit to Fort McHenry National Monument: This is the site of the War of 1812 battle with the […]
RV trip, DC? Check.
Our internet has been a bit spotty lately, and I’m pretty sure last week’s post did not upload in its entirety. It’s fixed now. We enjoyed a lovely week in Colonial Beach, VA, far away from anything meaningful to see or do. It was great to just relax, get caught up on some work, and […]
RV trip, DC. Lots of DC.
After hitting DC pretty hard last weekend, we took Monday off. Amy and the girls took a trip to the zoo on Tuesday. It was a very warm afternoon and they said the animals weren’t putting on much of a show. However, the admission price was free, so they didn’t mind: I took Wednesday off, […]
RV trip, Virginia to DC
We stayed in Williamsburg VA last week where we visited Jamestown, the first permanent settlement that sort of started this whole USA thing. While this church at Jamestown is the 3rd building built on the original foundation, it was here that the laws that would later form our Constitution were created: It was a rough life for […]
RV trip, TX and beyond…
This post will hardly capture everything that’s happened over the last few crazy weeks, but it’ll have to do. At the beginning of March, we revisited a campground in Medina Lake TX. This was the place with all the tame deer. I remember thinking it was cool the way they’d walk right up to you, […]
RV trip, deeper into TX
We continued our push toward Austin this past week, making some more repeat visits to campgrounds we were at about this time last year. When we weren’t traveling, we made a point to focus on work and school. On Thursday we moved to Columbus TX: We saw the strangest thing on Friday morning: frost! We […]
RV trip, N’awlins
Our home this past week was on the “westbank” at Bayou Segnette State Park. It was conveniently located just a few miles away from New Orleans, yet mostly insulated from its craziness. We took Tuesday afternoon to go exploring, which started with a ride on the Algiers Ferry to cross the Mississippi river. We had […]
RV trip, Florida to Louisiana
We enjoyed our final week in Florida. Here are the girls at school on a lovely Monday morning at Silver River State Park: Before leaving that park on Tuesday, we took a long lunch to do some canoeing: As much as I loved the airboat ride several weeks ago, it wasn’t exactly a peaceful encounter with nature.
