country roads
We got an early morning start to head home on Sunday. So early that the girls didn't even get out of bed by the time we hit the road. That was a first... It wouldn't be a road trip without at least one Icee. Have I

pine mountain
We spent the last couple days in Georgia with 100 other Blue Bird buses. We had the perfect spot for some pretty incredible sunsets. Right down the road from our campground was the most amazing drive through wildlife park. We had a rough start with the first animal. It slobbered

hello again nashville
On our way to Nashville we stopped at the Kentucky Welcome Center. The historic part of it is still closed, but it was still fun to stretch our legs, look in the windows and smell all the pretty flowers. We love the campground in Nashville so much that we decided

Every October a bunch of people get together with their Blue Birds buses in Georgia. Braden has always wanted to go, but a road trip in October really doesn't work for our schedule. Since school is a lot different this year we were able to swing it with

another beach day
The girls slept until 9:30 AM! 9:30 AM! That hasn't happened all summer. I guess that is what 5 hours at the beach does to you... so why not do it again? I have a feeling its going to take a couple good washings to get

last camping trip 2020
Camping 2020: 5 cancelled trips, 2 long distance road trips and only 4 local campgrounds (compared to 7 last year). What a crazy camping season! This is our last weekend of camping for this year. We camped here last year in October... and it snowed. I didn't really

homeward bound
We started heading home this morning. We decided we'd stop about halfway home for the night. On our way we visited at the Pioneer Auto Museum. This place was very similar to the Miracle of America museum we visited in Montana 2 years ago. It was building after
