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...
Once a Year, A Hotel: Our Great Wolf Lodge Tradition
Feb 25, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
Max and Theo have spent well over 100 nights of their short lives traveling up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Nevertheless, they have only stayed in a hotel three times. Wes clocks in at one night so far. Suffice it to say, we have one way that we like to travel and...
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...
The Polar Vortex is Returning: Stay Warm in a Planetarium
Feb 21, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
Last weekend the high temperature around here was 31 degrees. With the ice and wind, we just knew we couldn't drag the brood outside. Most people with young children were hunkered down in a movie theater learning more about the wonderful world of Legos. But we have a...
Our First Guest Bloggers! New Zealand Here They Come…
Feb 18, 2014 RVFamilyTravelAtlas
The Lively Little Campers have met several other kindred RV Travelers through this blog and we always love to hear about their adventures on the open road. So when we found out that John and Cathy, two of our long time readers, were heading to New Zealand for an RV...
