What a weekend! First of all, I have been really nervous to let someone really cut my hair since the orange mullet incident (refer to How it All Came to Happen). Every time I have gone to get my hair done in the last year, my stylist has said, “you sure you don’t want to … More The Close of a Chapter

Stop #52: We have made it full circle! Not the prettiest circle, but made it back to where we started and all in one piece. More or less. I left with the last people I saw being my favorite tiny people, Madison & Liam, and I came back to seeing them first. I have to … More Stop #52: Bedford, NH

Stop #51: This was the first time on this entire trip that I hadn’t booked a place to stay before setting out in the direction of where I wanted to end up. And wouldn’t you know, it backfired. I knew that I wanted to stay around Albany, based on the distance from Erie, along the route … More Stop #51: Albany, NY

Stop #50: We are making progress towards home and adding another state to the list of those visited. Traffic wasn’t bad at all today so we made pretty good time getting to Erie. Upon arrival, I wanted to just stay at the camper and get packed up since we will be home in two days. … More Stop #50: Erie, PA

Stop #49: After last night’s episode with the rogue cabinet, I was DONE. It is time to go home. That was the final straw for me. We are already on the way home, but now it’s just a count down of miles until we are safely home. Today was the worst traffic day I have encountered … More Stop #49: Oregonia, OH

Stop #48: The name of this town should have given me pause. I should have taken it as a sign that maybe something bad was going to happen here. This thought actually did cross my mind. Of course I shook my head and said, “Don’t be silly, Katie. I’m sure it’s great!!” Ha! Well, I … More Stop #48: Hurricane Mills, TN

Stop #47: This is a repeat stop but a great one and one I wish we could have spent a lot longer at. Luna agrees. After leaving Fort Worth, we headed back to Lola & Papa’s house for the night. We made great time, although I did have to stop at Walmart to get new … More Stop #47: Hot Springs Village, AR

Stop #46: I got a call on Tuesday saying that the Jeep will “tentatively be ready on Friday.” So I said I would “tentatively be in Forth Worth on Friday.” The issue was that they were waiting on ONE last part and there apparently was ONE at a shop in Austin and then there weren’t ANY others…anywhere. … More Stop #46: Fort Worth, Texas

Stop #45: The Big Easy! How have I not made it to this cultural mecca before now?! The food, the music, the people, the houses. Loved it. New Orleans was definitely on my “I want to go everywhere” list of stops, but once the flooding started, I decided that I would make it part of … More Stop #45: New Orleans, LA

Stop #44: I’m pretty excited that my extended trip is allowing me to go to New Orleans. It’s definitely a place I have always wanted to go. Unfortunately, the drive from Sarasota to New Orleans is too long for me to make in one day without really pushing my comfort so I decided to stop … More Stop #44: Tallahassee, FL
