From scuba diving to backpacking (both just experienced for the first time this year), I love new outdoor adventures, especially those that include my family. I have a four year-old daughter and one year-old son who I spend most of my time with. My husband and I love to travel and would do so more if it was in the budget. We also love to go camping and enjoy fun bike rides as a family. I love to write and do so in my free time.

Last Minute Christmas Shoppers Must-Read!

Last Minute Christmas Shoppers Must-Read!

Are you feeling stressed out by the mad holiday rush and last minute Christmas gifts you still need to get?  It is usually around this time of year, with less than a week to go before Christmas, that I really start to feel the pressure.  I feel it all month long, really, but it’s especially bad in the last home stretch, with less than seven days to go, that I really feel the stress.  Really, I... [Read more]

Ringing In The Heavenly! New Year

Ringing In The Heavenly! New Year

With the weather being downright cold outside, I was sitting here listening to Christmas music with a warm fire burning in the fireplace, thinking it is time to start planning an epic New Year’s Destination Vacation! Our plan this year is to head north for the most ultimate New Year’s celebration in a place we have never been before: Lake Tahoe!   While we have been to some great snowboarding... [Read more]

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Deck the Wheels with Bells of Holly! Whether you are traveling somewhere in your RV for Christmas or are a full-timer, there are many ways that you can decorate your RV for Christmas: like you would a house just on a smaller scale. While walking through a campground in Southern California over Thanksgiving weekend, I already spotted a few RVs that were decked out with their Christmas décor.  These... [Read more]

Stairs: The Hidden Danger In RVs

Stairs: The Hidden Danger In RVs

The day after Thanksgiving, the full day of eating whatever we want; we set out for a fun weekend of camping at the beach. The beach camp spot my aunt reserved this year was at Leo Carrillo State Beach, a scenic stretch of canyon leading to gorgeous coastline, where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean.  You access it from the Pacific Coast Highway, just south of where we live.  My... [Read more]

Black Friday Camping with an RV

Black Friday Camping with an RV

Many folks enjoy getting killer deals the day after Thanksgiving.  In fact, some will go to so much trouble as to camp outside of particular stores days in advance in order to get a good spot.  While some will sit in a chair, others will actually pop-up a tent and get themselves extra comfortable since they figure they will be spending lots of time waiting, including at least one night there.  They... [Read more]

What Are You Thankful For?

What Are You Thankful For?

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?   How do you remember those you have loved and lost?  How do you keep their memory alive?  Around this time of year, with holidays fast approaching and family making their arrivals, is when I really start remembering and missing the loved ones I have lost.  I am not sure if it is because of the holidays and having family around a lot or if it is because... [Read more]

Planning a Camping Trip

Planning a Camping Trip

Most people plan, plan, and plan some more before taking a camping trip.  According to the 2012 American Camping Report, “almost half of all American campers plan their trips at least one month in advance.”  That is an astounding number of campers who have the forethought to plan a fun time out in the “wilderness” with their family, friends, or to just get away by themselves.  Personally,... [Read more]

Camping in Rose Valley

Camping in Rose Valley

Rose Valley has an incredibly easy, short, and beautiful hike to the bottom of the 300-foot high Rose Valley Falls.  Go a few days after rainfall and you will experience the falls more full, complete with rushing water at the lower and hopefully upper falls.  Just a mile-long round trip, the hike takes you to the bottom of the lower falls, with options for some more extreme hiking to the bottom of... [Read more]

The Changing Face of Campers

The Changing Face of Campers

When you go camping, do you go to party?  Do you go to see family you haven’t seen in eons?  At campgrounds all around, there is a new face of campers who seem to: camp specifically to connect with extended family, encourage the kids of multiple (often related) families to play together, while partying with all the best camping supplies that money can buy. The 2012 American Camping Report “confirms... [Read more]
