Visit to The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk

We stayed two nights at Braunig Lake RV Park off exit 130 on Route 37. We used our Passport America card to make it only $25 each night for full hookups with 50 amp power. It was a decent park for this type of stay, and only about 12 miles from The Alamo and River… Continue reading Visit to The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk

Gulf State Park – Gulf Shores, AL: Amazing

This was our first visit to Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama on Perdido Key. OMG–this state park is incredible!! As we approached we could see some pretty cool bike/walk paths. The sites are quite spacious and a lot of them! There are 396 full-hookup sites with paved pads and 11 primitive sites. We… Continue reading Gulf State Park – Gulf Shores, AL: Amazing

Ragan’s Family Campground – Madison, FL

Big Rig pull thru sites.

Even though we only stopped here for a quick overnight between travel days, I was impressed with the Ragan’s Family Campground. It used to be a Jellystone Park Campground. On our way into Florida we spent the overnight at Deerwood Campground which is off the same interstate exit, and on the same road. Deerwood was… Continue reading Ragan’s Family Campground – Madison, FL

Official Floridians!

We originally considered Florida for our full-time RVing domicile, but it wasn’t going to work out. We were still in Washington State putting the house up for sale while finishing up my last year of teaching, so we flew to South Dakota and did everything without needing either vehicle to be there! We saved about… Continue reading Official Floridians!

RV Show After Party

Barry and I went to the “RV Show After Party” that was held across from the fairgrounds at The Wing House Bar & Grill. Luckily it was scheduled for Thursday evening which was our second day (and last day) at the Tampa RV Super Show. It was so cool to see Marc & Julie Bennett… Continue reading RV Show After Party

Tampa RV SUPER Show

I was really excited to come to the Tampa RV SUPER Show since so many YouTubers that we follow rave about this particular show. NO, we are NOT interested in replacing “Vinny Ventana”. (Although I really do not like our inside steps! And we do like the Newmar Dutch Star) But overall, we love our… Continue reading Tampa RV SUPER Show

“The RV THING” – Lakeland, FL

OMG–we are having so much fun at “The RV Thing”! We knew we’d enjoy being around Paul and Lorena of “The Motorhome Experiment” (TME), and Kevin and Laura of “Vegan RV”, but WOW… Monday was incredible when it came to just plain FUN! What’s “The RV THING”? It is a gathering of RVers coming together… Continue reading “The RV THING” – Lakeland, FL

Changing Domicile

Our visit this week with Jim and Pat Hoffman became more than just building a friendship with the four of us. One of our conversations that began with talking about mail forwarding services led to sharing what it costs us each for our vehicle license tabs and insurance- South Dakota vs Florida. We both own… Continue reading Changing Domicile
