Snowbirds baby! Heading purposefully south from snowy Alberta to an as yet unknown destination 💕 Read more
  • IB Magee Beach, Port Aransas

    Dec 16–18, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    After a night at a campground we didn’t like (other than the late night swim as seen in the pictures!) and got a refund for, we headed to the beach! Nope…it flooded. So we stopped here for a few days to enjoy the sun and daytimes at the beach and riding around this cute town we can’t get enough of. Highly recommend!Read more

  • IB Magee for a few more days

    Dec 18–20, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Lots of fun and freedom here at I.B. Magee! Long bike rides, beach for miles, private sites, sunshine and relaxation.
    We had a RV repair team come out to check on a few things. We have a new, working water pump 👍🏼 so that’s good! The inverter seems like it might be done…I’ll have to start a ticket for a repair or replacement with the manufacturer. The fridge needs two new fans. Ordered, and should be installed by end of the week 🙏 otherwise we are good!Read more

  • Rockport Texas

    Dec 20–27, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We were looking for a place more inland to spend a week or so and we found a lovely campground to spend our time! KOA always has what we are looking for it seems. The weather looks a little sketchy so it’s nice to be here where there’s awesome facilities to hang out at. Pool, clubhouse, games, outdoor spaces, places to ride the bikes, fishing piers to visit and shops a few km away. We are looking forward to settling in and maybe staying even longer than a week. We’ll see! We took a short ferry to get here…I don’t know why they haven’t built a bridge 🤔Read more

  • Magnolia Beach Texas

    Dec 28–29, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    What a beauty place to spend the night! So close to the water and only a few people around. We are on our way to Galveston Island. This beach got great ratings for camping so it’s been on my list for a while. So happy we came!Read more

  • Galveston Island Texas

    Dec 29–31, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Found a busy KOA on the island to spend a couple days before heading to Galveston for a week or so. The “view from the bedroom window” isn’t as scenic as usual 😂. Weather is cooler but so sunny for now (we will appreciate it while we have it). Hoping for a view and some bike rides in our near future!Read more

  • League City Texas

    Dec 31–Jan 1, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Spent New Years Eve here listening to an abundance of roadside purchased fireworks…until bedtime at 1030 🤣 nothing to report really…just another day on the road.
    We had an eventful year!
    Attached is just a small snapshot of some of my favourite moments from 2023. I am so grateful for every moment that has brought me to this one. So many of them happened without a photo, but I love them just as much.
    Looking forward to whatever 2024 has to offer! 🥳

    NOLA! Can’t wait to head to the French Quarter to do some touristy things. We will add more photos and words when we have some 🥰

  • New Orleans part 2

    January 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Trip the the downtown area went well! Busy and sunny and noisy (and a bit smelly apparently). We took the shuttle from camp which was a tour all on its own. Greg, son of the former owners, has been here since 1995 and knows how to fit a lot of information into a small amount of time 🤣
    Then we went for a walk in the French quarter and settled into a couple of bar stools at Cafe Beignet for brunch (and some beignets of course!). Live music, tiny tables and chairs, street noise and great food was experienced. A short stroll to our hop on hop off bus stop and we were on our way. It was a feast for the eyes and ears. Met some nice people, had some laughs, close traffic calls and enjoyed the sunshine from the top deck of the open air bus. As the loop was coming to an end, we both decided we’d like to do it one more time! A new announcer and a few detours had us on a different tour altogether learning new things and meeting new people. Highly recommend.

    What a cute little town! HGTV has made it what it is…it’s Ben and Erin Napier’s Hometown everywhere you look but there are lots of other great things to see too. Our camp spot about 8 minutes out of town is wonderful. Woodsy, scenic and the people are awesome. Ducks too!Read more

  • Citronelle Alabama

    Jan 15–22, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    What a beautiful campground! It’s a city park with event centres, day use areas, a golf course, disc golf course, gazebos, fishing, boating, tenting, baseball and a large area for RV’s backing right on Citronelle Lake. Ducks and birds and trees in abundance. It is a cold week, but not too bad.
    The town isn’t much but I enjoyed checking it out and the grocery store is lovely 🤣
    It’s our last stop before Gulf Shores! Dad and Chris stay at the Beach Club and we can’t wait to spend some time with them there. 🥰

    Condo life! For a short while anyway .
    Dad and Chris visit here most years and I haven’t been since I was in my 30’s 😂 but it’s as lovely as I remember! We’ve had a lot of rain and wind but the sky’s are clearing and we can do more things. Looking forward to exploring the area and “camping” for a while somewhere close by before heading out again on this journey. Florida? Georgia? South Carolina? Maybe all 3. 💕Read more

  • Fairhope Alabama

    Beautiful day visiting Magnolia and Fairhope Alabama! Met one of the most interesting people of my life. It’s like he’s lived a dozen lives in one with so many stories and so much information to share. Dean Mosher and the Mosher Castle. Google him and you’ll see some of the reasons why!Read more

    February 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

    Hanging out with Dad and Chris again! We love living in the truck but this might be the only chance we get to spend this much time with them 💕 thanks for the spare room and the puzzle fun. The views and the deck. The hot tub and the lunches out. The old stories and some family history. We see why you love it here! Sunshine can’t be beat ☀️Read more

  • Dauphin Island Alabama

    February 21, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    What a great day for a ferry ride! We took only the e-bikes and enjoyed a trip around the small island, picnic and nap on the beach, some small town bakery goodies, a visit to the bird sanctuary and lots of vitamin D!Read more

  • Pearls Day

    March 2, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    It’s my birthday! After a movie yesterday (Ordinary Angels) and a quiet morning at the condo I got treated to lunch at Acme Oyster House. It was delicious and I ordered some of my faves (gumbo, hush puppies, grilled shrimp with sweet potato fries) Yum! Then a Key Lime Pie back at the condo for dessert 🥰 some time on the beach finished off my birthday weekend! Thanks Dad and Chris! Great to celebrate with you for the first time in many years 💕Read more

  • Foley again

    Mar 5–12, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Last chance to shop at Vera Bradley! 😂 I don’t know why, but I love that store…so many different things you can’t find anywhere else. Flowers and colour and happiness! Decided to stay another week at the campground we stayed at before. Enjoyed lots of pool time and some bike riding around town. Until one of the bikes broke…replacement is on the way!
    We were winding down after saying good bye to Dad, Chris and the beach at Gulf Shores. My best February in a very long time 💕

    A long drive (4 hours….longer than I normally like) to Alabamas capitol for a Costco run and a sleepover at the local Cracker Barrel. I had a major craving for the avocado/egg cups I can’t find anywhere else.
    Anyone? 🥑 💕🥚
    Our CB neighbour was advertising his camper life journey so we gave him a follow. The Roaming Dad. An interesting life for those two teens!

    To continue our HGTV tour (😂) we are at Camp Sherrye on the Coosa in Wetumpka….the town featured on Home Town Takeover Season 1. Home of the Big Fish House. North of the Gulf of Mexico (more than a few miles north anyway) for the first time in a while, we are in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, home of a 5 mile wide impact crater from 85 million years ago. We haven’t explored too much yet but I’m looking forward to doing so as we wait for the new Big Dog to arrive.Read more

    We are enjoying the peace, quiet, view, awesome showers and free laundry here on the Coosa for another week while we await the arrival of Big Dog #2. Everyone say a little prayer that FedEx doesn’t disappoint on delivery day (Tuesday). 🙏🙏🙏
    In the meantime…games, books, music, good food and sunshine. Can’t ask for a better March 💕
