Summer is over, and we're now removed from and able to look back on a pivotal year. In July 2025, Anthony was laid off from his job, and this was the start of a series of events that is the perfect exemplification of the phrase, "When it

Taking the trailer out of storage already?!

We're prepping our trailer for storage for the first time and quickly realized that we had a lot to learn. After a grueling 5-week trip to New England, we returned to Myrtle Beach with lots of our belongings in tow, and we immediately made our way to

We have no clue what we're doing! Putting our RV in storage for the first time

We had a crazy journey back from New England, running away from storms. Roof leaks that we've been battling since February had gotten out of control, and there was no solution until we could get our roof replaced. We decided to take 2 full-day drives to get

Our New England to-do list: Was our trip as productive as we hoped?

We spontaneously transitioned into part-time RV life by renting a cottage in Myrtle Beach! After our rather tumultuous year in life and travel, we couldn't have been happier with our decision. If we had it our way, we would have settled into our cottage and taken a
