On Friday morning, after leaving Joey’s, we headed west in Louisiana. It was a long haul, but we made it into Texas and Joe was determined to make up some time on our trip. We met some great people and got a lot of tips at the Welcome Center…and also our first sense of Texas … Continue reading “Good Day Sunshine”
On Wednesday afternoon, we had a relatively short and uneventful drive to my cousin Joey’s place in Houma. Thank you, Jesus. ❤ It was certainly nice to feel brakes again! Before we left Monkton, we made plans with Joey to stay with him for a few days so we could go see some alligator farms, … Continue reading “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Life Goes On)”
No, we didn’t end up in the Mighty Mississippi…but it was close! Let’s back up a couple of hours… When we stopped for gas back in Mississippi, we ran into another family who had broken down in their RV. Obviously, we have huge compassion for this now! They were a French family traveling from South … Continue reading “Michelle”
Back home, before we left for the trip, sweet Stacey Prinzing gave us a gift membership to the Maryland Science Center. Super nice, right? But what’s more is that she knew the membership would get us into LOTS of museums and other Science Centers around the country!! As Joe was planning our route, he was … Continue reading “Across The Universe”
We left Steve and Debbie’s in Nashville on Saturday afternoon and headed about an hour south for a reunion 14 years in the making. When Joe and I first met, he was in a band called “Even Isaac.” Some of the members had been playing together since 1996, but they evolved into a Christian rock … Continue reading “Come Together”
We crossed the border into Tennessee in the afternoon on Friday. After a quick stop at a Welcome Center (super cool inside – nice job, TN!) we set out to find some wifi so we could update the blog! Then we headed to the home of our second BW (Boondockers Welcome) hosts. They live in … Continue reading “Can’t Buy Me Love”
We started off with a bang! The last 10% of the packing proved to be the most difficult. Thankfully, my parents stopped by to sure up a few things on Eleanor and then took the boys with them to our first stop: my sister’s house in Westminster, MD. This allowed Joe and I to bust … Continue reading “One and One Is Two”
Happy Fourth of July! It’s been an exciting two days here at Camp Raab. We picked up our “rig” yesterday morning! Though we thought this was the pre-planning before our trip started…our adventure began sooner than we thought! This RV has lived a good life, but what comes with the territory caused us to have … Continue reading “Eleanor Rig-by”
First of all…thank you for never walking out on us when we sang out of tune! Secondly, this could not go unmentioned here: on Friday Night, we were set up by some of our best friends who asked if they could come over to pray for our trip. 😉 It was an awesome send-off with … Continue reading “With a Little Help From My Friends”
While scrolling through Netflix one afternoon, we came across a show called “Dirt Every Day.” When you live in the woods – and have two boys – words like “dirt” pique your interest. It turned out to be a great show that follows Fred Williams, the host, as he buys old beaters from Craig’s List … Continue reading “Drive My Car”
