Gulf Coast : March 13-14, 2022

We started making our way back toward California, camping the first night in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. After walking Riley in the morning, we continued on, stopping for a photo moment at the lighthouse in Biloxi, MS. We found a Harvest Host location that sounded pretty neat – John Schneider Studios. John Schneider was “Bo”… Continue reading Gulf Coast : March 13-14, 2022

N’s 1st Birthday : 2022-03-12

Our granddaughter had her first birthday. She’s getting so big! And it was time for us to head back to California 🥲 It was a fun ride getting familiar with living in a van and meeting the wonderful van community. And of course, this wasn’t going to be the end of the story; we would… Continue reading N’s 1st Birthday : 2022-03-12

Drive-in Movie

Finally, another GSLL Roundup we could attend. Scott hosted a van drive in movie theater experience in Lakeland, FL, and we attended. I went in the wrong entrance and had to finagle the van past a check-in booth overhang without catching the AC unit on the roof, and was successful! We couldn’t socialize too much… Continue reading Drive-in Movie : February 18, 2022

Macerator : February 01, 2022

Happy anniversary to me!

I was really missing my view of the water while being camped out in the front yard. I had the brilliant idea to relocate my tent to the top of the carport. Not so brilliant, actually. The roof was lumpy and had weak spots, and it was rather precarious, not to mention having to climb… Continue reading Macerator : February 01, 2022

Tampa RV Super Show : January 21, 2022

KT considering (spoiler, we got one a couple years later)

Remember the Travato Owners and Wannabes group I mentioned a fellow traveler had referred me to? Well, I had joined the group immediately after. It became a wealth of information on “mods”, hacks, storage solutions, system information and ideas, many of which I applied to our van. I had also been more avidly following Go… Continue reading Tampa RV Super Show : January 21, 2022
