This summer has been a bit of a whirlwind. We’ve been wandering up the west coast since leaving Mammoth Lakes. And honestly, it was hard to leave. We had gotten used to the cool breeze and the amazing sunsets. There is just a sense of ease and relaxation there. We’ve visited some pretty great spots so in order for us to remember we’ll start with our first stop on the west coast of California.
We made our way over to Petaluma where we stayed at a friend’s farmlet so we could explore the area.

We get asked quite a bit about how we make money on the road. We wrote about that here, but there was one important piece of that puzzle that we didn’t address in detail because it required it’s own post.
That’s right, we’re going to talk about how we get reliable RV internet for full-time travel (and businessing) in your RV.

I was recently asked how traveling has enriched our kid’s (and our) education. Well, there are so many ways it’s hard to know where to begin.
Maybe we’ll start with the fact that until I was in college I thought that Washington, DC was in the state of Washington. Yes…I went to public school. I somehow managed to graduate without ever reading one book of the required books for English Lit. (sorry Mr. Barrett) And apparently never paid attention in Geography, either.
So there are the obvious ways it has enriched our ‘education.’ I now know where the President lives, and it’s not in the Pacific Northwest.
One of my favorite things about traveling with our kids in tow is that we get to learn all these new things together. We get to learn about the Ancient civilizations that built their homes in the cliffs and then actually go there and touch, feel, experience their ancient dwellings.

When we were cleared to leave Phoenix after Ada’s surgery it was time to head to California. We had our hearts set on exploring Mammoth Lakes for a long time, but were worried about heading up into the mountains with that one big problem. We took a minor detour to San Luis Obispo to get our brakes fixed before we headed into the Eastern Sierras.
We are so thankful to everyone who helped us get that fiasco under control. We find our selves still braking just for fun, followed by a, "that's so nice!" Yeah, we're weird.
You may have read that on the way to Mammoth Lakes, we got stuck in Bishop, CA with truck repairs. (Ouch! $$$$) At this time, we were beginning to wonder if we weren’t supposed to make this trip. We got our truck back and decided to give it a go. We made the short drive to north to the boondocking site we had picked out on Campendium…only to find someone was in our spot! I’ll admit...I was pretty upset. It was my birthday week and I just wanted to soak in some hot springs while drinking a cold Mexicoke!
We made the decision to drive north 30 more minutes and find a site in Lee Vining. I’m so glad we did.
