Oh MY God!

Such an underwhelming phrase these days, isn’t it? You can’t hear this without conjuring up a bubblegum teenager whining “O.M.G.” about a relatively meaningless Instagram post. Just a simple change in where the emphasis is placed changes the whole magnitude of what was just uttered. Go ahead, say it out loud with the emphasis on […]

Staying Flexible

As a 37 year old ex-football player and weightlifter, flexibility has never been a strong suit of mine. As a physical therapist, I understand that flexibility and mobility is a cornerstone in overall fitness, yet has always continued to challenge me. Apart from physical flexibility, I have been less than flexible in several facets of […]

Goosey Goosey Gander

Whither shall we wander?….Our family has now been living full-time in our RV since September of 2019. It did not take long within this lifestyle to recognize both the importance of choosing the right specific gear for the job as well as the willingness of other RVers to chat about their must-haves. With our traveling […]

Road Warriors… and a Giant Baby?

April 13, 2020. “So, Leah, we need to plan our epic dream trip back from Kennewick, WA to Indiana.

Plans….? HA!

Have you ever had to slam on your vehicle’s breaks? I mean really lay into the breaks of your car forcing a thousand pounds of steal to stop as quickly as possible, moments after effortlessly driving 45 miles an hour? How about then picking the perfect line in milliseconds to avoid a collision (man, the […]

Great, Grand, Magical Part II

Let’s see, so much has transpired in the last few weeks…. I left off with the first taste of the magic in Zion National Park. Man, it feels good to reflect on simpler times, right? A whole 3 weeks ago! We stayed at Watchman’s Campground, just inside the southern park entry. Again, this place is […]

Great, Grand, Magical: Part I

I have little tolerance for false pretenses. Should I have decided to proceed with sharing the absolutely epic adventure we were on without demonstrating some struggle along the way, a true appreciation of the depth of our experiences would be lacking. This is why I shared my prior post, “Yelling at Cows”, prior to this […]

Yelling at Cows

We are currently spending an unexpected weeklong extension of our epic journey from Tucson, AZ to somewheresville, WA in Anacortes, WA near the San Juan Islands (Yes, that’s right into the heart of the COVID-19 virus US epicenter!). It has been the trip of a lifetime exploring the natural wonders captured in our southwest national […]

It Was Fun, Tucson

Well that three months went by in a hurry! I have officially concluded my first assignment as a travel Physical Therapist as of last Friday, February 21st, and Leah concluded her first stint as stay-at-home-mom and school teacher without a vehicle the same day. Leah was awesome, nurturing our kids, consistently pouring into them with […]

It has been nearly six months already? I guess so, wow! Nearly six months since we took delivery our new Solitude 3470bh S-Class 5th wheel on August 17th 2019. I think behind my eyes you can see the thought… “Holy Smokes, what did we get ourselves into?” We have taken you through the crash course […]
