Last week, we decided to pull off the interstate and spend two nights near the glittering beaches of Daytona. Shortly after we arrived, it rained. To be more accurate – it poured (which is pretty loud when you’re in an RV). We looked out the window and saw people running about with ponchos on. Being […]
Travel With Kids: Kissimmee/Orlando
“Can we live at Disney World?” our 4-year-old asked, her cheeks rosy and her face in raptured bliss. I laughed and said “No, but wouldn’t that be fun?” We just spent 2 weeks in the Kissimmee area. Of the 4 theme parks in DW, our girls probably enjoyed the Magic Kingdom best. The characters are […]
Travel With Kids: Mobile
When I say “Alabama,” I say it all drawn out and southern style, with a hint of country music in my voice. Like this. “Allllaaa…BAMA.” It’s a fun word to say. Try it. At Tim’s request, we toured the USS Alabama. I surprised myself by having a lot of fun – walking from deck-to-deck, climbing […]

I smile back at her. “Yes, it is.” Almost all of the campgrounds that we stay at have playgrounds, but…she still says that EVERY single time. With the same clenched […]
Travel With Kids: Austin

It’s HUGE and features great playscapes, a miniature train, a sculpture garden, and running paths. We also spent an afternoon at City […]
Travel With Kids: San Antonio
I surprised myself by loving the Texas Hill Country. It was gorgeous in Canyon Lake – I couldn’t get over the towering Oak trees in all of their winter majesty and the shimmering green waters. One afternoon, we ate at Mi Tierra Restaurant & Bakery near Market Square in Downtown San Antone (I don’t know […]
