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.

Our kids recently found a rock that they have named Chance. One side is butts and one side is heads. They flip Chance and see if it lands heads up or butts up. (Think heads or tails)
It was funny...the timing of their game. We’re in the process of seeing some of our biggest dreams come true. We have been working hard on a new project and finally seeing it coming to life is so exciting!
It's hard, you know…trying something new. You can plan, you can do all the research, you can crunch all the numbers and weigh all the odds but until you get that idea into the hands of someone who can help make it happen, you just never know if you’ll land heads up or butts up.
Best case senario is you land heads up and turn your kick awesome idea into a new epic adventure. But you know what?? Even if you land butts up, you can always pick up that rock and flip it again, and again, and again.
So here we are, flipping that rock one day at a time, looking forward to landing heads up into our new awesome adventure.
Cheers to trying new things!

We were all a bit sad to leave Sedona, but the heat was getting unbearable. We decided to head north to Flagstaff in search of shade and lower temperatures. We were just killing time before we had to drive back to Phoenix for Ada’s surgery.
Nestled under towering pines, we found a little peace and quiet in the solitude of the Coconino National Forest. This boondocking area was quite busy but we were able to find a place away from the crowds. Our neighbors were udderly adorable!
