Top 10 Things to Do on the Big Island of Hawaii
We recently got back from a vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii for our 10-year wedding anniversary. WOW… what an amazing trip! The Big Island of Hawaii is incredibly diverse from lush rainforests to barren lava fields, mountains to beaches, bustling tourist spots to rural farm country. It has a...
Top 5 Outdoor Activities in Colorado
Moving to Colorado was one of the best decisions my hubby and I have ever made. For two nature lovers who can’t get enough of the outdoors, the never-ending outdoor activities in Colorado can’t be beat! Years ago, we were living in Southern California. But we were miserable. Between...
Top 3 Reasons We Chose to Live in Denver (and Why You Should Too!)
This post has taken me forever to finish writing. We’ve been living in Denver for over 4 years now, and I’m just now getting around to explaining why Denver in the first place. We've been busy getting settled into our new life here in the Mile High City. Plus, there's just so much I want to say...
Where We Decided to Live!!!
I can't believe it's already been 19 months since we originally set out on our journey back in June 2014! Thank you for following along with us this entire time and enduring my delayed blogging! In my last blog post, I mentioned that when we finished our initial road trip through all 48 contiguous...
Back on the Road!
After accomplishing our goal of traveling through all 48 contiguous states, we returned to California, coming full circle with our journey. We spent 4 months in Temecula, CA (from December 2014 to April 2015), contemplating life and where to live, what to do for work/income, and basically where...
Days 190-192 (THE END…or is it?): Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona & California
Day 190 (12/7/14): Elk City, OK | Amarillo, TX | Albuquerque, NM When we rolled out of bed this morning and began preparing to leave, it was still dark out. We thought we’d be the only ones up and about that early in the morning, but several of our other fellow overnight campers were also anxious...
Days 186-189: Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas & Oklahoma
Day 186 (12/3/14): New Orleans, LA | Houston, TX | Pearland, TX So long New Orleans! {{{Waving goodbye with a tear in our eye as we drive away}}} It's been fun, but it's time to move on. The end is near! We’ve already been through Texas, but we made a slight detour to Houston to visit one of my...
Days 184-185: Louisiana (New Orleans!!!)
Day 184 (12/1/14): New Orleans, LA Today is the 6-month anniversary of our trip! And what better place to be celebrating at than New Orleans?! We got an early start to the day and revisited the French Quarter. The streets were eerily quiet in the morning, a stark contrast from the lively night...
Days 182-183: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi & Louisiana
Day 182 (11/29/14): Pensacola Beach, FL For our final day in the Pensacola area, we didn’t venture too far from our campground in Pensacola Beach, FL. We were staying at the Pensacola Beach RV Resort located on Santa Rosa Island, the barrier island of Pensacola Beach. The RV resort sits on the...
Days 180-181: more Florida
Day 180 (11/27/14): Orlando, FL | Pensacola, FL | Gulf Breeze, FL If our trailer hadn’t developed a colossal leak, we would have been done traveling by now. This is one of the major life lessons I’ve learned on this journey. I’m a hardcore planner, but I’ve realized that you can only plan so much...
Days 177-179: South Carolina & Florida
Day 177 (11/24/14): Hilton Head Island, SC | St. Augustine, FL | Orlando, FL After being without our home-on-wheels for 4 weeks, we finally get to pick our trailer up today! Our extended stay in Hilton Head Island, SC, has come to an end. As Justin was taking the trash out of our vacation rental...
Days 159-176: South Carolina
Days 159-176 (11/6/14-11/23/14): Hilton Head Island, SC At this point, we had visited as many places in Florida as we could before we would be working our way back towards the West Coast. With our RV still in the shop, we decided to set up camp in a vacation rental in Hilton Head Island, SC, while...
