On Wednesday, we drove down to San Luis Obispo. What a cute little town, nestled among green hills, with a creek running through it! We started with a tour of the mission & then meandered around town, thru Bubblegum Alley, into cool boutiques, in & out of cafes & restaurants. Inside the church, looking toward... Continue Reading →
Our next day trip was Pismo Beach, 20 minutes south of our campsite at Morro Bay, for sand dune sledding. I’d researched how to get to the good sledding areas. Most online suggestions mentioned parking outside an RV park there, walking through it, and, ba-dam, there are the sand dunes. I called the RV park... Continue Reading →
A couple weeks before we left our house, I’d planned all of our stops up the coast & reserved our spots - Morro Bay, Big Sur, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, & Redding. I was feeling relieved & confident that we didn’t need to think about finding spots & making reservations until the end of March... Continue Reading →

Step 1 was done. We decided what we wanted: a Grand Design 5th wheel with a bunkhouse for the kids. Now to find it, IRL. TJ is the master of research & never ruling-out any option. He found our new dream-home-on-wheels in Vegas, an easy 4-hour drive from LA. It almost seemed too good to... Continue Reading →
After 16 years in Los Angeles, it’s time to move back to Ohio. It’s a decision 5 years in the making. We feel so fortunate to have such happy memories in Los Angeles - TJ & I came here with no jobs & no plans of where we’d land - we were just following adventure.... Continue Reading →
