After leaving Amarillo, we stopped in Big Spring for the night, then stayed for a week in Kerrville, just outside of San Antonio. It was nice to have a more leisurely drive down to Rockport. Dutch Bros in San Antonio Fortunately for me, the first Dutch Bros in San Antonio opened up the week we … Continue reading Texas: Winter Texans in Rockport
As yet another wintry cold blast comes our way, I thought I'd show you how we are surviving the cold temperatures and snow. Most people who RV full-time go to places where the weather is a bit warmer. To be honest, we had no idea when we moved here for Bob's job that it would … Continue reading Texas: Surviving the winter temperatures and snow in Amarillo

In June 2013, we drove to the Seattle area to attend the only Pacific Northwest tour date for Kenny Chesney. This was a stadium tour, so his concert was held at CenturyLink Field. We arrived a little early, so we had some time to chill outside and enjoy the beautiful day. Sunny days in early … Continue reading Washington: Kenny Chesney concert (2013)
On a cold, rainy, and dreary day in January 2012, I joined a group of photographers at Portland's Union Station to do a photowalk. Brian Matiash, then with Google Plus, organized and led the photowalk. Brian is an inspiring travel and landscape photographer and now has a photography podcast called the No Name Photo Show. … Continue reading Oregon: Google+ Photowalk (2012)
As we wind down our time on the western side of Arizona, we visited my mother-in-law and brother-in-law in Bullhead City. We've been going to Bullhead City approximately once a week since mid-November, but this is one of our second to last visit for a long while. Super windy Because of the proximity to the … Continue reading Arizona: Super windy in Bullhead City
