Launch Day

Launch Day

Today started off with a lot of uncertainty.  You may have heard, Anthony broke his wrist Friday night, and had a soft bandage that needed replaced by a cast.  Normally they like to wait a week before they remove the splint and cover the limb with a cast.  So we were up early, and called […]

The day before the day before

The day before the day before

Happy Sunday!!  I was thinking about a title for this post.  I thought about first calling it, “The Second day of the rest of our lives.”  My last day of work with DCS was Friday, and yesterday would have technically been the first day of the rest of our lives, but I will tell you […]

A Week

A Week

A week to go, that’s 7 days and we are underway.  It’s coming fast.  This past week Kids by Nature came to a close after being open for years.  We kicked off the “end” sale.  It has been pretty much non-stop for several days now.  A lot of stuff has found new homes.  Our plan […]

Garmin RV 760LMT RV GPS Review

Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone, which typically has a GPS of some sort.  We are no different.  I also installed a Kenwood 690HD head unit with GPS in it in the Excursion.  But unfortunately, although it works, it’s not completely packed with features.   So after watching a couple of reviews, we decided to go with […]

28 Days

28 Days

It seems like just yesterday when we started this plan.  It’s been 18 months!  A lot has happened in that time.  We added a member to the family, found homes for several other 4 legged members and ended an era where fresh veggies & eggs were on the menu.  We sold a house, and most […]

Northshore NSR-6 bike rack

Northshore NSR-6 bike rack

In planning out this adventure, we thought long and hard, and decided that bringing along bicycles would be a good idea.   We then came to the realization that we would need at least 6 bikes.  Then comes the dilemma, where do we put them?  We searched long and hard for the best solution.  We are […]
