• Is Harvest Hosts a Money-Saving RV Membership?

    If you’re new to RV’ing (or even if you’re not), you may be looking for a money-saving RV membership. I know we looked into a bunch of them when we started out! Imagine my excitement when we came across a program that would allow us to stay at places like wineries, alpaca farms, lavender farms, and museums! I’m gonna guess Dave still remembers the day I told him all about it. I may have squealed when I mentioned farm animals… possibly… okay, I definitely did. So, if you enjoy getting toasted at wine tastings, frolicking with farm animals, musing at museum displays, quenching your thirst with some brew, or just…

    What we LOVE about Full-Time RV Living

    Are you thinking of taking on full-time RV living? Wondering if you’ll survive it? Not sure if it’s worth it? It was for us! As you can probably tell from the title, in this post I’m going to share with you all the benefits of full-time RV living. Of course, there are some downsides, too. But, for us, the good far outweighed the bad and we would love to do it again someday. We left Hawaii to drive a truck and camper trailer across the US and we quickly discovered how much we loved it. Don’t have time to read now? Pin it for later! YOU LEARN ABOUT NEW PLACES…

  • One of the BEST RV memberships out there!

    When we started out as full-time RV’ers, it was a whole new learning curve for us. We were from a little island in the Pacific. RV’ing was not really a big thing there! So we did LOTS of research before embarking on our 15-month RV journey. In doing so, we discovered Boondockers Welcome and we are so glad we did because it’s one of our favorite RV memberships! So, if you’re: Wanting to hit the road in an RV Curious about full time RV Living Not sure how all this RV’ing stuff works Slightly scared of RV’ing, but almost ready to take the leap Just like reading reviews (hey, that’s…

    Things to do in Minnesota – A Petting Zoo

    “Never let a farm dog lick your face.” That’s the best (and most hilarious) piece of advice I got from Lois, the owner of Cook’s Country Connection in Cook, Minnesota.  We spent a day there last October and had to see them again when we went back to Cook this year.  Our friend had told us that this was the place to go when you’re in town and I definitely agree. Don’t have time to read this now? Pin it for later! A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY Cook’s Country Connection officially opened on June 17, 2015, on Lois’ family farmland. Her great grandparents homesteaded there in 1900 and created a…

    Best Foods in Hawaii – A Delicious Food Guide

    My uncle asked me a question the other day that got me thinking about food back home. He wanted to know what some Hawaii hors d’oeuvres would be. So, naturally, I started craving food from back home. Thankfully we can get most of what we need to make it here in Georgia, but people often ask me for recommendations when they are going on a trip to Hawaii so I’m going to lay it all out here for everyone to read. I will warn you, though, some of what I am about to share with you might seem a little different if you haven’t had it before. But, after you’ve…

  • Gifts for Coffee Lovers – A Guide

    I think we all have that person in our lives – the one who consumes coffee as if it were his or her sole life source. They wake up, eyes barely open, wandering to the kitchen to pour their first cup before they even think about getting dressed or starting their morning routine. I know some of these people. Heck, you may even BE one of these people. Mind you, I have great respect for those individuals who actually know the difference between coffees, who can drink it black, and who can function all day and kick major butt while being completely alert. But, what on earth are some good…

  • The Elusive Bear

    We’re on this trip for adventure, right?  That’s what we’ve said all along.  Well, add animal sightings to those adventures and you’ve got some extra happy campers.  So, since we saw a bear cub in Canada, I’ve been itching to see another bear.  Every national park we drive through, every forest area we pass, anywhere and everywhere I think there’s the slightest possibility that a bear might call this area home, I’ve got my eyes glued to the passenger window.  I know that there are lots of other animals I could see, but the elusive bear sighting is my goal. Fast forward to three months into our trip – I…
