Heber Valley
After a couple days of long drives the weekend was coming to an end. Dad had a number of meetings the next couple of days and would not be easy to take those calls from a moving RV. So we decided to hold up at an RV resort in Utah. We found a nice spot near Park City, enabling us to explore that tow...
Drivin'
Yesterday was a marathon drive. During most of the day Mom drove while Dad worked using the MiFi and the kid...well...he got some quality time with his gadgets. After the work day Dad took over on the driving front and drove late into the night. We'd planned to stop after 8 hours of driving and visi...
Lake Fairfax Park Virginia
We spent several weeks off and on at Lake Fairfax Campground in Reston Virginia. The campground was a perfect location for us to hold up while Dad worked from the Reston Office. It's only 3 miles from the office and he was able to regularly take a Lyft to or from the park and work. Made for some str...
Gettysburg Battlefield
Although we had to make a long drive to get to Gettysburg, it was well worth it. We got to see a lot of interesting history, including how much of a pivotal point it was for the Union Army in the Civil War. There were 157,289 men engaged in Gettysburg, and 51,112 casualties, over 3 days! We did the...
Visiting Maryland
We spent the weekend up in Maryland. We drove up late after work and found a cozy Sam's Club parking lot to pull off and sleep for the night. The next day we took a quick drive over the bridge to visit our old home. Neighborhood was PACKED with cars...to the point it's basically a one lane road. Not...
National Whitewater Center
Co-workers highly recommended we visit the Whitewater Center just outside of Charlotte. The night before we stayed at a Walmart parking lot near the Whitewater Center so we could get an early jump on the day. The kid had a great day doing several zip lines, rope courses, rafting and climbing. Mom an...
North Carolina BBQ
Being from California we were all looking to try out some real BBQ. Mom found some highly recommended restaurant with co-workers corroborated. We went to Sausemans BBQ. The three of us split a meal for 2...lets just say we had enough leftovers for all of us to have another full meal from it the next...
Cade's Cove
Cedar and I spent some time talking to a local in Tennessee whom we met along the Haw Ridge mountain biking trail. He told us several different stories about local history. Was really neat to hear about the history of the area. He mentioned this place neither of us had heard of before, Cade's Cover....
Nashville
We all agreed after driving straight through Kansas and Missouri that we wanted to spend a day somewhere. One of us thought the mid-west country-side was beautiful... Nashville sounded like a really cool town so we parked the RV in the Tennessee Titans stadium parking lot, put the dog in her bag and...
World Cup Finals
World Cup finals were today. We really wanted to watch, but couldn't figure out a good place to watch with a youngster. Sports bars are out obviously. Most restraints were out as well, since the game started at 10AM CST. We pulled off and found a McDonalds that we could get some free wifi from. Then...
Colorado Springs
We stopped in at John's place in Colorado Springs. Was a great visit and great to see an old friend. It was wonderful to visit with his wife as we didn't get a great chance to really talk at the wedding a few years earlier. We also got the opportunity to meet Riley just days before her first birthda...
Denver Colorado
It was great to stay local in Denver for the week. Mom and son traveled all around Englewood and Centennial exploring the parks and local communities. Dad was able to spend some time in the local office, get some work done and visiting with co-workers. One evening was spent on what was supposed to b...
Estes Park
We'd never heard of Estes Park before a co-worker in Denver made the recommendation. What an amazing recommendation and town. Beautifully nestled in the mountains at 7500 feet. The town was packed being the 4th of July weekend. It didn't feel too packed even in an RV. Just days before we arrived the...
Yellowstone
You just can't be this close to the beautiful Yellowstone NP and not visit...We stayed at the Pony Express RV park. Pretty close parking spots but offered full hookups so we could shower and dump. We still hadn't bought a lock for the surge protector that hooks up to power. The manager to the Exxon...
Idaho Falls Fireworks
We stopped and spent the day in Idaho Falls to watch the biggest fireworks show west of the Mississippi. Apparently bigger than San Francisco and Boston. I really enjoy fireworks so this sounded great. This meant that we needed to bypass Craters of the Moon NP, but that's okay. We stopped early in t...
