Dear RV Moms, I Think You’re Killin’ It.

Dear RV Moms, I Think You’re Killin’ It.

Just days after launching our new RV Family Travel Atlas site a couple of years ago, we received this comment on the blog: Having been camping and traveling with little tykes (our grandchildren), we’ve found that, later, they have little recall of most of the scenes and sights they’ve seen, although they seemed to have enjoyed the trips, mostly. Just a thought. At the time, I shook my head, sighed, and wrote a brief response, basically telling the gentleman that he was missing the point altogether. But now, on Mother’s Day, I want to...

Holidays in the RV: Reflections on a New Adventure

It is the Twelfth Day of Christmas, and I am ready to throw my Christmas tree out the window. Don’t get me wrong…I really do think it’s the most wonderful time of the year. But by New Year’s Day, I’m always ready to sweep up the last of the needles and call it quits on the holiday season. This year, the holidays looked quite a bit different for us. We traveled on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, spending one in the RV and one in a hotel. So of course I have some thoughts and opinions. You have come to expect that... Read More
