Back in 2022, when we loaded our worldly possessions into what now seems like a very small truck, we were not sure how long we’d be on this journey. Two years later (with a WAY bigger truck), we’re not sure when we’ll stop. Even if we do eventually settle on a space to call home, it will be a

  This year, we broke our Montreal visit up into two chunks of time — one that coincided with Chase’s end of year shows at school, and one visit during the circus festival. It was wonderful being there for end of year shows. We were able to see Chase perform (in a moving and beautiful piece adapted from a local

Many of our hikes have offered a beautiful (and in one case, refreshing) bonus — waterfalls!  Here are just a few of our favorites: In Colorado (the first time around!), before we tackled the Great Sand Dunes, we took a quick detour to Zapata Falls. As the linked article states, the view from the parking lot alone is amazing. It

  Growing up in New England, we are very familiar with the term (trotted out every July/August) “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” After a few late summer weeks in the South, we’re thinking it’s both. There is no doubt that high humidity makes the heat less bearable (looking at you, Kill Devil Hills!), but when the car thermometer

Back in the spring, we posted some photos of the incredible wildflower blooms in California. As we traveled through North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Colorado this summer we saw a range of plants and trees — some intentionally planted, some not  — that brought unexpected beauty to our (often long) drives. PS: because these photos were taken from a moving

We wrote earlier in our travels about serendipity — stumbling into fun/beautiful/interesting places. Not surprisingly, we’ve happened on more of those in recent months. For example: Who knew that Little Rock Arkansas was such a cycling city? The Sunday of Labor Day weekend (when it was NOT 100 degrees and humid), we took a fabulous 26 mile ride along the

As of September 1, 2023 we’ve stayed at 86 campgrounds. We’ve refined our criteria for what makes a good campground and found some new favorites that we’d highly recommend! First, the criteria. We (ok, maybe just Michele) have decided that the campgrounds deep in the woods are lovely places but they are too dark (and often too buggy) to make

Throughout this trip, we have tried to achieve a good balance of urban experiences and rural adventures — after all, we love both! It’s been interesting (and in some cases heartbreaking) to see what’s happening in some of the larger cities we’ve visited. San Francisco, Denver, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle — these are just a few of the cities
