Take Five - RV Blog

Still one of our absolute favorites from our years on the road.

Of the 100 nights we spent touring the country between 2013 & 2016, St. Louis's City Museum holds the distinction of being one of the very few places we visited TWICE... It's one of our all time favorite memories of life on the road! ♥️

Research... in case we want to travel the country again someday without buying another RV. 🚂

Turns out, you don’t need a car to see America.

Happy 100th birthday and a huge thank you to the National Park Service! 🎂

TOOK Five! It all happened so fast… 49 states, 3 summers, 30,000 miles, about 100 nights on the road, and now it's SOLD! Having seen all the states, and with all the boys getting bigger & busier, we knew it was time to put 'Take Five' on the market… we just didn't know how quickly it would sell! Placed the ad Saturday, viewed Sunday, and sold today! Best of luck to Melody & Joe, who plan on touring the country with their 3 show dogs! We hope our RV brings you 5 as many happy memories as it has us!

With State Cup over for our team, the PSC Long Beach Waves call it a day. Hopefully, some of these guys will move on to new teams together. I know all the kids (& their families!) wish they could stay together forever. Thanks, Coach Travis, for taking our boys on this journey!

We spent the night at the field, but hung out in the RV yesterday afternoon with our teammates who stayed at 'The Hamptons'. Cold night in the RV - got down to 33°… Brrrrr!

As they say, when in Lancaster… oh, wait, never mind. Still, this was a great first Korean BBQ experience for these boys. :-)

The boys tied this afternoon, which means they're tied for 1st place in their bracket. They play again tomorrow to determine who moves on to next weekend's round. For now, they celebrate. Go Waves!

Lancaster for another weekend of soccer for Ethan & Garrett… 2nd weekend in a row in 'Take Four'. Last weekend, Papa was away at Sundance; this time, Trevor's staying behind for PSAT & Robotics.

Not only is Ethan back on the field, but BOTH TWINS SCORED at State Cup today! Thanks to Ethan for the selfie, and to Daddy for holding down the roving fort! Papa's bummed to have missed it, but so happy for you guys & the team! Go, PSC Waves!!!

Fantastic opportunity for any parents of 4th Graders!

Part of the White House’s “Every Kid in the Park” initiative, this program is made possible by the National Park Service and National Park Foundation.

For posterity, since this is our last night on the road, I'm attaching the song I've been torturing the boys with every night in the RV before we go to bed. Good night, everybody!

May Tomorrow Be A Perfect Day

Busy day on the road yesterday. School work in Dominguez Hills for our oldest, then soccer in San Bernardino for the twins. Glad to enjoy the RV whenever we get a chance. :-)

As cold as it was at Grand Canyon for our trip, looks like we just missed the BIG storm!

Northern Arizona received widespread snowfall totals of over four inches on New Year's Eve and Day.

Loved seing these signs on our "road" trip to Alaska... Alaska Marine Highway (Alaska State Ferry) is amazing!

Don’t limit your road trip to roads. Explore more with the Alaska Marine Highway.

Garrett's been asking me to share this video ever since we arrived in Canada. Now, after driving through this country for 3 days, I gotta say there's a little truth to it. ;-)

The giant Redwoods of Northern California are among the first stops on our trip. We were hoping to drive through one of the world famous drive-thru trees, but it turns out none can accommodate our 10+ foot RV, dagnabbit! Thanks, Roadside America, for keeping us in the loop!
