Huntsville, AL....Rocket City, USA... I now know why it got that name. The US Space and Rocket Center is a must stop. Iβm so impressed by this place. We lucked up and visited during the 50th anniversary celebration of the Apollo 11 moon landing which happened on July 20th 1969. The vision and intelligence of... Continue Reading →
The journey has begun π
Well, today is the day we have been waiting for. All the planning, praying, organizing, and scheduling has come down to this moment. Honestly, I canβt believe we are actually doing this. It really started kicking in for me on Wednesday the 10th. It was a normal day at the ministry, except for the fact... Continue Reading →
State 1 – Bama Bound
We left around mid morning and saw a bear crossing the road not long after getting on the road. Trev told the boys, that was a sign of all the cool things we're going to see. Just left the house and saw this guy crossing the road. We're headed to Huntsville, AL. The US Space... Continue Reading →
Packing – uuugghh
Well, if I had a phrase to describe packing our family it would be - the struggle is real. Not very original, I know, but man alive. It's been challenging. Trevor is an amazing packer. He packs light and tight. He can survive on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt as long as he... Continue Reading →
Trial Run #2 – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
So with a successful trial run under our belt, we waited a few days and then headed out to Fort Mountain for our second trip.

Well as I lay here writing this we are under another severe thunderstorm warning and constantly watching the radar, but we are riding this one out in the camper. Hope itβs not a bad decision.

Our Maiden Voyage In The Camper
We knew we needed to actually camp in the camper before our trip to get a feel for camper living. But I didn't want Trev to decide to sell the camper on our first trip. So for our first trip, our trial run, we eased into it and went up to Mountain Lakes in Cleveland,... Continue Reading →
The Route
The boring details for those who want to know. Do we have a plan? Yes and No. Yes, we do have a route and list of sites we want to visit. Do we have reservations for all these places for the whole trip? No. Planning a trip like this is daunting. It's not like -... Continue Reading →
How, Why, and Really?!
Well, here we are a year and a half into the idea of this journey. What started as a crazy idea while on a road trip to Pennsylvania - to take our two boys on a roadtrip across the country- may actually happen. My husband and I have always loved to travel and have traveled... Continue Reading →
