Stephanie and I purchased our first RV four years ago and since then we have spent over 100 nights camping with our children. The memories have been magical and the travel has transformed our lives in so many ways. Are you considering taking the plunge and purchasing...
A funny thing happened the other night. I was putting Wes down to sleep, singing and rocking and such. As I placed him down in his crib, I whispered I like you. As soon as I said it, I laughed aloud in the quiet, dark room. I always told Wes I loved him before leaving...
About a month ago we headed south on the Parkway to destroy some White House subs and attend the Atlantic City RV show. It was freezing cold outside--so the combo of classic roadfood and indoor motorhome window shopping made for a great day. We strolled up and down...
Even though they say we might be getting more snow, I'm closing the door on this winter. Tonight Max argued with me vigorously about when the first day of spring is. He insisted it is tomorrow. For a moment I actually thought about giving in and letting him win. Yes...
It's pretty bad around here, folks. Our boys are so desperate for the road that they are building 'campgrounds' out of their Megablocks and Spinaroos. Jeremy took the camper down to the dealership for a bit of a freshening up this weekend, and something about the act...

My boys are darn good hikers. Not that they have a choice. Since Stephanie and I started RVing with them four years ago we have spent over a hundred nights camping, and dozens of days hiking. When they were just one we threw them in the truck, packed up the pop-up...
Years ago, long before the boys arrived on the scene, the temperatures hit the high sixties on a weekend in February. Jeremy and I had a different sort of life then, and the weather inspired us to hightail it to a bed and breakfast in Cape May where we spent the...
When the temperature creeps up into the 50s during this sort of winter, it is almost impossible to decide what to do with the sunny respite. One feels a certain responsibility to enjoy every single second of pleasant weather. It is no wonder we ended up at the...
