Crystal River, FL – 2021
We had recently taken delivery of our new travel trailer in October 2021. After a quick shake-out trip to Chincoteague Island in October we were really looking for a nice long distance trip. Also with it being close to my 40th birthday I was looking for a fun family excursion! We decided to head to…

Jekyll Island, GA – 2023
Did you know that Georgia has armadillos?!? This was the first time that we had camped in Georgia and we noticed them by the road on our drive down and then they were at our campground. It wasn’t something we were expecting to see and became a pleasant surprise to see some new wildlife for…

La Fortuna 2023 – Day 5 & 6
Day 5 was our last full day in Costa Rica and it was another adventure packed day. The prior day we looked into zip lining or waterfall repelling tours since this was something that Hope was very interested in (fits right in with her rock climbing). Luckily one of the companies that we reached out…

La Fortuna 2023 – Day 1
I feel like our first international trip with the kids actually started well before our departure date. We had to get documents and pictures together to get passports for the kids and with COVID still lingering we had heard that wait times could take up to 6 months. Luckily we didn’t have any issue and…

Cancun, Mexico January 2024 – Adults only trip!!!
Our last trip away without the kids was about 6 years ago, before Autumn was born, for a weekend getaway to the Poconos. So Kristen and I had mixed emotions when we got a wedding invite to Cancun for January 2024 that was adults only. While it was exciting to think of a little time…

Camper and Tow Vehicle Issues
As promised, the trip home from Bar Harbor was definitely eventful. We started packing up from Bar Harbor Campground and a friendly couple stopped by our site to “reserve” it, we still had a few days left on our Acadia Park vehicle pass so we passed this off to them as well. Once we got…
