Aug 23 – Good bye Cambria. 2 weeks in Cambria and not nearly enough. There is still so much to do, to visit, to accomplish.. We are thankful for the time we had. Girls are understandably upset and so are we. It is hard to say good bye. Sasha leaves off with taking Nana to …
Day 12 through ….
It is 8.23.2020 as I am writing this. Working full time while running a family on the cross country trip sure is pretty time consuming and exhausting. I promised myself, however, that I will keep up with the blog because we will need it at some point in out lives either as a lessons learned …
Why Did We Buy a 19′ JayCo? (and the best tip I received about RV shopping)
The best tip I received, and the best advice I can offer someone set on buying their first RV or travel trailer is: Go small; go cheap. For many reasons going small and cheap has been a wise move for us. This advise is why I bought a 2006 19′ JayCo. So far, this choice …
I’m the Driver
I guess this is my introduction post, yet we arrived in California Monday the 10th around 4pm local time, right on schedule. I’m the driver. Not necessarily in the sense of getting us motivated (but that’s me, too, sometimes), but in the sense of getting us from place to place in our vehicle. I’m Sol, …
Day 9 (8/7/2020)
We are up before 6 am and on the road. I am putting early hours in as for the late afternoon we have grand plans for the Grand Canyon. We pull into the parking lot of Petrified Forest but we are almost 2 hours early and the park is closed. We decide to continue our …
Day 7 (8/5/2020)
It is so very early morning for us because we have arrived in the middle of the night and I have meetings first thing in the morning. We are now on mountain time which means my day starts an hour earlier. While I am on my first meeting Sol has to turn our rig around …
Day 6 (8/04/2020)
We set sail straight after Darwin’s morning swim. We have to drive with the back of the Jeep rolled up as we need to dry him. It is chilly and girls declare that their goose bumps have goose bumps! We tell them to enjoy it while it lasts as we are imminently close to entering …
Day 5 (08/03/2020)
Easy day as it is Monday and a first official work-on-the-road day for me. I set up shop on a picnic chair near the river and only move to follow a shady spot. For the day’s meetings my background is Arkansas River and no, it is not MS Teams new fake background. The camp has …
Day 4 8/2/2020
Ambitious day. I attempt to not burn breakfast in the morning and we lift off to, first, meet Eric and Barry at the Nashville farmers market and eat ice cream at Jenny’s there (truly remarkable ice cream… I regret I did not try their goat cheese and cherry flavor) and then be back on the …
