It's got some cute throwback photos so here it is several years late: I mentioned that I missed my kitchen, and that … Continue reading These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty! – Cooking in Our RV

Another week of unhealthy air quality spurred us on to another weekend getaway. This time we traveled to Crescent City, California and “dry camped” in the driveway of some favorite relatives.

There are so many wildfires burning in California right now, and the air quality is so unhealthy from all the smoke. Several times these past couple of weeks, I’ve found myself wondering, “Why did we decide to move back to California anyway?” This past weekend, we decided to take our Minnie Winnie on its maiden … Continue reading “Chasing Waves” – Mac Kerricher State Park – Fort Bragg, California

I unpacked a bunch … Continue reading Grown-up Book of the Month – August 2020
My husband bought a one-way airline ticket to Las Vegas, Nevada. As is often the case though, things aren’t always what they seem... We heard about a really good deal on pre-owned Minnie-Winnies.

Olema Campground in conveniently located near Point Reyes National Seashore. Though the campground offers full hook-ups we ended up with a site that did not have sewer hook-up.

We enjoyed just being in nature surrounded by … Continue reading Olema Campground – Olema, California
The police just came to our front door to inform us that we can’t park our RV on the street in front of our rental house.
