Valley Forge with Kids: June is Fickle

August 30, 2018 by kokotg 2 Comments

We had two full days in the Philadelphia area, and we had to decide whether to spend day two in the city again (you can read about day one here) or to venture farther out and go somewhere we’d never been before, like, for example, Valley Forge. We had plans to meet up that day […]

History, Heat, and Ice Cream: A Day in Philadelphia with Kids

August 26, 2018 by kokotg 2 Comments

Travel date: June 2, 2018 We’ve been to Philadelphia several times now, and it seems like something always pops up to keep us from having the perfect day there. Like the time we were walking back to our car after visiting the Franklin Institute and the skies suddenly opened up with the most apocalyptic rainstorm we’ve […]

Philadelphia South KOA: Camping with KOA

June 9, 2018 by kokotg 1 Comment

Thanks to KOA for hosting our stay at the Philadelphia South KOA! I was not otherwise compensated and all opinions are my own. Visiting big cities with an RV often means either staying an hour or so outside of the city and doing a whole lot of long drives in to see all the attractions […]

Visiting Gettysburg National Military Park with Kids

November 14, 2016 by kokotg 6 Comments

Travel dates: June 14-16, 2016 Honestly? Battles kind of bore me. I can’t keep the details straight in my mind. I get bogged down in the logistics and weighed down by all the….death and stuff. I love history, but I’m more of a fan of the how ordinary people lived parts. Or the details of […]

Gettysburg Campground: Campground Review

November 2, 2016 by kokotg 2 Comments

Travel dates: June 14-16, 2016 Sometimes when we’re researching a destination and reading campground reviews, there’s a pretty clear favorite that stands out above all the others in the area and makes for an easy decision.

Lake-in-Wood Campground in Narvon, PA: RVFTA Rally and a Day in Philadelphia

July 3, 2016 by kokotg 6 Comments

I’m not sure you’d really call us rally people. If you were going to call us something. Other things would probably come to mind first. But when the dates and location for the RV Family Travel Atlas spring rally were announced last year right around the same time we were deciding that we really and […]
