Jr Ranger Program

We spent the day up at Mt Rainier National Park the other day.  As we always do when in a National Park (Or Monument) the kids did the Jr Ranger books.  If your not familiar with them, next time your in a National Park, ask about it.  Its an activity book that kids fill out. …

Our Original RV Budget

Our Original RV Budget

During the planning process, we did our best to try and figure out what a realistic budget would look like for us traveling.  We read lots of blogs, we researched other travelers and we already tracked our personal expenses.  We knew there was no template that we could plug in and have it all figured…

We pulled into Old American about 5 pm on a Tuesday and there wasn’t an attendant on duty.  Which is fine, our tag and info was taped to the window by the door, with a line drawn to our site.  I had picked our site online, so there was no guesswork to that.  We found…
