West, West central Florida

With Florida being a peninsula it seems funny to break it up in to so many pieces, but there are some very distinct areas.  Some are well groomed, some are wild. Most have water somewhere. But the vegetation and people change as you travel so it’s worth seeing as much …

South Alabama .. I mean the Florida panhandle

Pensacola, Santa Rosa, Destin, Miramar, Tallahassee. Some beautiful beaches, piers,  and towns.  If you ask around though it’s more like southern Alabama than the rest of Florida.  The people are nice, and the beaches are beautiful.  The weather was a little cold and rainy (typical for February). We did have …

Florida – not really full of crazy people… as far as I have seen.

We spent almost a month in Florida waiting for it to warm up enough to travel north without running into too many freezes.  We took the time to drive both the gulf and the Atlantic coasts and all the way down to the keys.  We even decided to skip the …

Mobile Mardi Gras

When we stopped in Mobile, the intent was to stay for a night or two at most, and maybe see a parade. During our first parade we talked to several locals and non-local residence about Mardi Gras and learned more about Mardi Gras meant in Mobile. After being enlightened we …

Mississippi Gulf Coast – Mississippi hospitality with white sandy beaches … and shells, shells everywhere!

When we crossed over to Mississippi we decided to go off the beaten path of I10 and down the coastal road. We didn’t realize that this would turn into a 3 day tour of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was a worthy tour. We spent our first day beach hopping …

Laid back Louisiana

Louisiana When heading to Louisiana we expected loud cajuns with boisterous personalities.  Maybe a little back woods, maybe a little er… red neck.  What we found is that there is a wide mix of Cajun, and Creole  in this area.  There were a few loud boisterous cajus with thick sharp …

San Antonio – the Alamo and the River Walk. “Come and Take it!”

2015-01-25 15.12.44

I am probably one of the few people who was like, “Huh, the Alamo is bigger than I thought.” It was bigger than most people make it sound. It was a unique experience too. On a Sunday afternoon in January there are no lines,   We walked up and in with …

Texas with a Capital AUSTIN.

2015-01-24 15.04.37

  In the 9 months we have been in the RV we have spent almost 6 on the road. In all of this Austin was full of the biggest challenges.  Not because Austin is a challenge but because as we moved from DFW area to Austin a perfect culmination of stuff …
