To be honest, this was a stop we’ve looked forward to for the last 6 months. There’s just something about going to places where we know people that make this trip so worthy. And on the stop to Marin, it wasn’t just any peeps, It was the birthplace of the Jibin Ho’s…just Ho’s for short,Continue reading “Marin County, California”

So if you were wondering where the produce section of your grocery store comes from, it’s Monterey county California. If it grows in the ground, we either saw it, smelled it, or ate it. As fresh as the steaks were in Texas, that’s how fresh the lettuce is in Greenfield. One day I was upContinue reading “Greenfield California in Monterey County”

Pre-blog note: Today is Saturday and we left Orange last Sunday. Yes, this is late. I am writing this from the airport in Monterey as I wait to fly to Philly to visit a very, very sick family member. Orange, California And yes, we could live here! We arrived to Orangeland RV Resort after aContinue reading “Orange, California”

Well I have to admit that Las Vegas was not anywhere on my radar for this journey. Although I have wanted to experience the shows and food of Vegas, I just couldn’t imagine strolling through smoke smelly casinos to do it. Kimberly made it clear that she wanted to have a stop in Vegas, soContinue reading “Vegas Baby!”

Holy cow at this stop. We were at the Grand Canyon Railway Park in Williams, AZ for 3 weeks and just WOW! Williams is less than an hour from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and, being a railway station, offer a daily trip on an old Wild West style train trip.  Wikipedia says:Continue reading “Arizona and the Freakin Grand Canyon”

A Month in New Mexico…unworldly beauty with a flavor bomb in the face! Well here I sit after a few days at The Grand Canyon Railway Park trying to find the words to describe our month in New Mexico. We were headquartered in Albuquerque just 20 minutes from the airport which made travel easy forContinue reading “A Month of New Mexico”

Turns out we were Texans for 5 weeks with Amarillo being our final stop. Kimberly traveled for work for the first time in weeks and that sort of set the tone for my week in Amarillo. You see, Mollie is connected to me like a piece of cellophane wrapper that won’t come off your finger.Continue reading “Amarillo…our last stop in Texas”

We spent a week at The Whistle Stop RV resort in Abilene because once we committed to Christmas and New Years in Austin, it takes a few stops to get out of Texas. So, before we landed in Amarillo yesterday, we spent a week in another hidden gem of small town America, Abilene, Texas. The WhistleContinue reading “A week in Abilene, Texas”

We got ourselves to Austin, Texas for Christmas and New Year. I’m pretty sure we knew last Summer that we wanted to be there for the holidays and so we booked a spot near Lake Travis, about 30 minutes from downtown Austin. Seems my research paid off again and resulted in a great campground. ItContinue reading “Austin for the Holidays”

We were certainly asked more than once why Beaumont? The simple truth is: it was halfway to Austin. So we took a maintenance week to get stuff done…and NOT be on vacation at some party spot USA. With Austin scheduled through the end of the year, we needed Beaumont for a week. We actually walkedContinue reading “Beaumont Texas for a Week”
