If you want to go see lemurs at the Duke Lemur Center, you’re going to need a campground to stay at, right? Right. I remember at some point I was having trouble finding a well-reviewed RV park near Durham, but now I can’t figure out why. There are several different State Recreation Area campgrounds in […]
PEI, New Brunswick, and Heading Back Home: 2018 East Coast Tour Update #6
Hey, we’re home! So here’s the very last update! I don’t think we even had an RVing catastrophe in the last stretch. There was the campground in New Brunswick where they locked us in. We tried to leave to go get gas (and see the world’s largest axe) at a little after 9, only to […]
More Nova Scotia: 2018 East Coast Tour Update #5
A cautionary tale about Verizon’s “Beyond Unlimited” plan: if you ask, when you sign up for the unlimited plan, if it will work the same in Canada, the folks at Verizon will tell you that absolutely it will. And then, when you cross into Canada, you’ll get a friendly text telling you that you’re all […]
First Week in Nova Scotia: 2018 East Coast Tour Update #4
Travel dates: June 21-29, 2018 We love Nova Scotia! I’m so in love with Atlantic Canada, in fact, that I want to start planning a trip to Newfoundland for next summer. But Dave thinks we should go west again instead. Boo. I guess there’s stuff worth seeing in other places, too. RVing disasters: We continue to have […]
Cape Cod, Vermont, and Acadia National Park: 2018 East Coast Tour Update #3
We left off as we were leaving New York and finishing up our tour of big east coast cities. From here on out, the biggest city we’re going to see is Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is….a wee bit smaller than NYC. RVing disasters! We still have the same disaster, which is that Ari’s HappiJac bed […]
Philadelphia and New York: 2018 East Coast Tour Update #2
I’m so behind! We’re coming off of a couple of weeks with lots of visiting family, which has been great, but which kind of makes time pass in a different sort of way and fills ones evenings with family dinners and cousin time. But now we’re on our own again….and in Canada! Which I will […]
Duke Lemur Center and Museum of Life and Science: One Day in Durham, NC with Kids
Travel date: May 28, 2018 I first heard about the Duke Lemur Center maybe two years ago, and I’ve been a little obsessed with finding a way to get there ever since. So when we needed a good place to stop in between home and Washington, DC, of course we picked Durham. LEMURS! This is Elvis […]
Philadelphia South KOA: Camping with KOA
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 […]
We’re off! 2018 East Coast Tour Time! Update #1
I’m sitting here at the Philadelphia South KOA right now on Day 6 out of 62 of our 2018 summer road trip. I just finished blogging about last summer’s trip, so I’ve been thinking about this summer’s blogging goals and how to stay a bit more on top of things this year so that I’m not […]
Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park Campground Review (and Dallas, briefly)
Travel dates: July 21-24, 2017 It’s here! It’s here! It’s the very last post about our summer 2017 cross country road trip! Except I’m going to do an indexing kind of post so people can find everything easily now that they’re all written. Because there are a lot of posts. Dallas is getting short shrift […]
