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...

Wrapping up the Winter: What Did (and didn’t) Get Done…
Mar 13, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
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...
Season Opener: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Mar 9, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
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...
In Spite of the Busy, Something Permanent Everyday
Mar 5, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
My day started at 5:30 this morning. I was on my way to work by 6:50, getting the kids from school at 4:00, eating dinner at 5:30, and baths and bed by 7:00. In between all of these major checkpoints, there was lunch packing and dish unloading and oatmeal making and...
Wanna Camp with Kiddos and have a good time? Respect the Routine…
Mar 1, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
We went on our first long road trip with Max and Theo when they were not even three months old. We had no game plan; we did no research. Basically, we threw the boys in the car at 6:30 am and took off on a 13 hour drive. Learning to take care of twins is not an easy...
The Evolution of our Family Hikes (Gearing Up For Spring With L.L. Bean)
Feb 26, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
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...
What I Learned From a Couple of Nice Weekends in February…
Feb 24, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
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...
It Was Spring Today At the Jersey Shore… (Manasquan Reservoir, NJ)
Feb 22, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
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...
Thinking About Buying a Pop-Up Camper? Consider This…
Feb 20, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
We often joke that buying our first pop up camper was the best and worst decision that we ever made. And it really was. It was the best decision because discovering the RVing lifestyle was a life changing series of moments for our family. It was the worst decision...
So Parenting Is Hard…Now What? (answer involves the great outdoors)
Feb 9, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
I've been noticing something lately. The more I read the blog posts that are liked and shared and tweeted and pinned, the more I am seeing a pattern emerge. There are a lot of moms talking about being moms. Mostly they are talking to other moms. And the message...
