"We’re 100% glad we did it. You don’t know what you’ll like or not like until you try it. Although living full-time in an RV isn’t something we’d want to do again, we still had a lot of fun together and created so many memories to share."

"It was weird and not my thing at all… but I decided to make it my thing. We needed something a little different on this loop, so we followed the signs and stopped off in Casey, Illinois."

Got to enjoy some hiking at Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Canyon, TX yesterday (near Amarillo). It's the second largest canyon in the U.S. and it's beautiful to see. We did our hiking in the morning before it got too hot. It's a cool place to visit if you're ever out this way!

"That was a punch in the face because we planned to do a lot of outdoor stuff (hiking, walking around, exploring, campfires, etc.) but we just couldn’t get the weather to cooperate. We did manage to make some of those things happen, but it was limited."

It may have only been 60°at the beach yesterday but I'll take that ambiance anyday over an Ohio winter!
Amelia Island in Florida is a really cool place with 13 miles of free beach access along with a cool small-town feel in the historic district. Glad we stopped to check it out. We'll definitely be back again sometime!

We spent four nights in Blue Ridge, Georgia and I gotta say... that place is beautiful! This photo was taken right outside of our RV.
We had some of the coldest weather they ever get there and it was still incredible. I could only imagine how amazing it is outside of the short window of cold weather they get there.

"We’ve only done one of these so far… we stayed at an alpaca farm for a night. Faith and Lisa are animal lovers so this was something unique, fun, and really cool."

Pics from our time at the Natchez Trace Parkway (Meriwether Lewis Campground) in TN a couple days ago. Beautiful area with the fall leaves and the stay was free (dry camping) but the bees were EVERYWHERE. Not a fan so we cut our visit short after only a couple of nights.

"It became a great reminder for me of how important it is to get outside and to pay attention to nature. Not only is it good for you physically, but it’s great for your mind as well."

"Rather than spending most of our time hopping from RV park to RV park, we’re planning to utilize the majority of our time boondocking. That should make our trip even more amazing and save us a ton of money over staying at RV parks full-time."

"The major problem with big life-changing adventure planning though is that it’s pretty easy to just slip on those rose-colored glasses and only focus on what things will be like during the actual adventure."

"I loved being outside and just enjoying nature and walking around saying “hi” to everyone in passing. I felt part of the community. I enjoyed being able to walk to the gym or the grocery store if we needed something."

I just had to share this photo. This was an amazing sunset out the window at the last place we stayed for a couple of nights overlooking Boquete, Panama 🇵🇦. Truly awesome.

I must say... the view from the suite we're staying at for the next two nights in #Boquete, #Panama ain't too shabby!! Not bad for about $100/night out the door! 🇵🇦

There are some really cool hikes near Boquete, Panama. We just did one the other day called Bajo Mono in Los Naranjos, which is one of my favorites.
You get a little of everything - a walk in the cloud forest, a really cool waterfall, spectacular views, a few animals, and more.
Really fun!

It's strange but really cool to see Volcán Barú when looking out the windows from the house we're staying at in Boquete and realize that I actually hiked up that volcano before. Such a beautiful country! 🇵🇦

Well, we got up at 2am to start our travel from Cleveland to Boquete. We didn't get in until 6pm... 16 hours of travel makes for one long day! But we made it and we're looking forward to spending the next 30 days back here in Boquete, Panama!

Not a bad start to the day. Worked out and then Faith and I took a bike ride to get a credit card from Chase (exclusive promo in the branches) and to DQ for lunch and ice cream.
Some good dadd--daughter time and enjoying the good weather. Life is good.

Lisa and I took a little getaway for a couple nights to Seneca Allegheny Casino in NY earlier this week. That was the first time we've been without Faith for more than one night in probably around 9 years!
We didn't win in the casino but we didn't lose too much.
Fun trip!

She might already be 12, but when you get a little Daddy-daughter time and she wants to build a fort, you build a fort!
And somehow I convinced her to watch Star Wars with me... fingers crossed she enjoys it!
