Habs on the Road

Day 30 We’ve been gone one month! Today, we headed to Omaha, NE to knock Nebraska off our list. Nebraska is the last remaining state of the lower 48! This is a super exciting day!!! Are you ready for our 49th state????? Here we go!! We got checked in at the KOA just west of … More Out West 2021 – Part 9 (Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas)

Day 27 Carla drove us through the panhandle of Idaho and then to Billings, MT today. Really pretty scenery in Montana! We saw the “Lady of the Rockies” 90 foot tall statue! We didn’t plan on making it all the way to Billings today, and we had a reservation at a nice KOA in Billings … More Out West 2021 – Part 8 (Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin)

Day 24 This morning I met Todd and Arlene for breakfast at Lil’ Jon’s! It was fun to catch up! We then took it easy for most of the day. It’s nice to have days where we don’t do much so we’re not worn out trying to go go go. We were in Seattle today … More Out West 2021 – Part 7 (Seattle)

Day 19 I started today waking up earlier than necessary, thinking, “I wonder if Lil’ Jon’s still has cinnamon rolls left. I bet if I leave now I can get some. But I’m so tired. I’ll sleep just a little longer and I bet they will still have some.” 30 minutes later, same thought, back … More Out West 2021 – Part 6 (Seattle)

Day 13 We made our way to Newport, OR today! We have been looking forward to this for a while! It was neat seeing the landscape change to a more Pacific Northwest look. Love those evergreens! Carla and I took a stroll on the beach. There is a nice path leading from the RV resort … More Out West 2021 – Part 5 (Newport, Raymond)

Day 11 We left the dusty hot campground in Three Rivers and headed north on Highway 99 toward Fresno. Before we left, we found that there is a REALLY cool magic shop in Fresno called Hocus Pocus, so we found a place to park the RV (an old Sears parking lot) while we drove to … More Out West 2021 – Part 4 (Fresno, Redding)

Day 9 Today, we headed to the east side of California so we could see the giant sequoia trees in Kings Canyon National Park. The drive was not for the faint of heart… It was a beautiful morning to get the RV ready to go! Carla noticed that the giant shrub next to the Jeep … More Out West 2021 – Part 3 (Sequoias)

Day 6 We are headed to Bakersfield, CA today, hopefully with no disasters, and hoping the RV engine light doesn’t come back on. Today was a really long day! Over eight hours of driving across mostly desert. It really wears on you after a while! We were very grateful that the engine light did not … More Out West 2021 – Part 2 (Bakersfield, Santa Cruz, Monterey)

We had originally planned to go “out west” in the summer of 2020, but thanks to COVID-19 we didn’t do the trip. The plan was to do a giant loop around the west half of the USA, visit the 4 remaining states (excluding Hawaii) we haven’t been to as a family, and visit a couple … More Out West 2021 – Part 1 (OKC, Amarillo, Albuquerque, Sedona)

We decided to visit Disney World one more time before our annual passes expire. Because the trip is only going to be a couple of weeks, we decided not to mess with the RV (Dewinterizing, loading, and then the reverse of that). We decided on a Tuesday to go to Disney, and we left on … More Disney World sans RV

Day 24 Today we packed up to prepare to check in at Disney’s Art of Animation Hotel! It was a lot of work to get the RV cleaned up, everything put away, refrigerator completely cleaned out, and we moved as much food as we could fit into the ARB Jeep refrigerator. Unfortunately, we had to … More East Loop – Fall 2020 – Part 3

Day 14 We drove to KOA in Kissimmee, FL, where we’ll stay for several days. Day 15 After I got off work we headed to Magic Kingdom, the first park we always go to! Day 16 Day 17 We went to the Polynesian to eat at Captain Cook’s, and our plan was to take the … More East Loop – Fall 2020 – Part 2

It’s been a while since we last went on an extended RV trip! We are setting out for 41 days on the road, covering a large part of the eastern United States. We will first head northeast to St. Louis, then to Columbus, OH, and then through Cincinnati to Pigeon Forge, TN. We will then … More East Loop – Fall 2020 – Part 1

Having not traveled in the motorhome since February, we’ve been itching to hit the road! We had planned on a 7000 mile trip earlier in the year, but then stupid COVID hit and everything started shutting down. We decided to go to Colorado to some higher elevations where it is cooler. I’ve always wanted to … More Rocky Mountain Getaway – 2020

After the busy Christmas and New Years time of year, we usually get the itch to escape to somewhere warm. And each year it seems that January is full of doctor appointments, dentist appointments, and other commitments. By the time February gets here, we are very ready to load up the RV and go almost … More Winter Escape to the Gulf – 2020

Day 32 We ate at Tim Horton’s (yet again), and then drove from the hotel in Moncton, New Brunswick the rest of the way back to the RV in Maine. It was a pretty drive! The fall colors are really vibrant here! You can tell there are more French-speaking people in New Brunswick than in … More Journey to Nova Scotia…and Disney World – Part 5

Day 28 We headed to Nova Scotia today! The dogs woke up at 4:30am (after we got to sleep around midnight), so we just stayed up and finished getting ready. All loaded up!! We dropped the dogs off at Acadia Woods Kennel at 7am. We then started the 3.5 hour drive north to Saint John, … More Journey to Nova Scotia…and Disney World – Part 4

Day 23 We made it!! We drove the rest of the way to Narrow’s Too RV Park in Trenton, Maine, which is about 20 minutes from Bar Harbor.
