Spacious Skies: Celebrating 4th of July at an Aptly-Named Campground

Driving up I-81 through the Shenandoah Appalachians, we couldn't believe that just 9 months before, we were towing for the very first time along this same road. Thankful that those awkward days were behind us, and equally thankful that the weather was less gloomy than in October,

Our quest to escape the heat had us doing some last-minute rearranging of our campsite bookings. We were originally planning to spend 4th of July weekend in West Virginia, but everything got bumped earlier has we shortened our stay at Dale Hollow Lake in Kentucky. Making last-minute changes

You'll Never Believe Why We Chose This Campground!

During the pandemic, when many of our hobbies got locked down along with our souls, our only solace was finding ways to pass the time indoors. We missed traveling. So when we discovered a way to "travel" from within our own home, we became slightly addicted. The game

Day Hiking the Smokies

We love hiking and thought the RV life would bring us ample opportunities to lace up our boots. However, between the relentless heat that seems to catch up to us wherever we go, and the fact that this is just normal, busy life, we haven't hit the trails

Scenic Drives: The Best Way to See the Smokies?

Great Smoky Mountains National Park covers over 522,000 acres of land. That statistic alone is bound to be overwhelming to visitors spending only a finite amount of time in the park. We had three weeks to explore the area, but we opted to not just venture into the park,

Celebrating in the Smokies: Gatlinburg

Pigeon Forge's next-door neighbor, Gatlinburg, is the other touristy mecca that serves as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Less Vegas Strip and more Atlantic City Boardwalk, Gatlinburg integrates the natural feature that the area is famous for, which in this case is mountains! While

RV life gives us lots of gifts. I was born on Memorial Day, which means that my birthday weekend is always a weekend full of prior engagements and traffic jams. Birthday trips are few and far between because who wants to travel on one of the busiest travel weekends of

Campground Review: Mountain View Campground, Hiawassee, GA

We arrived at our first Georgia campground a day early, thanks to making a serious dent in our travels up from Florida and covering 450 miles on our first day of travel. Turns out we lucked out with our early arrival. Not only did that mean avoiding traveling during a

Our Top Adventures in South Florida

We spent over a month near Fort Myers, FL to give ourselves some stability and to spend time with Anthony's family. While a welcome reprieve from long drive days, we did do some moving around, bouncing between Koreshan State Park, a full hookup RV park, an Army Corps

Bamboozled at Koreshan State Park

We finally caught up to our initial "Launch Plan A" reservations! To recap, we were supposed to hit the road full-time on New Year's Eve but got delayed 2 months. We cancelled all our bookings until March 29 and then set out, hoping we could

The Highs of our First State Park Stay

RV Life isn't a magical fairytale; it's just life, with its highs and lows. We experienced an influx of lows leading up to/arriving at our first state park, Jordan Lake State Recreation Area in North Carolina. We had to quickly change our plans for our

Tanny Takes DC!

After a half-week's stay outside of Philadelphia, it was time to journey southward. We revived our plans to spend two weeks in DC, which were initially to take place in January, but now would bring us into March. We had a credit left over from our cancellation
