We spent the last 10 days back at the Orlando Thousand Trails! Normally, we don’t usually hang out in one area of a state like this (been right around here since the 1st!), but we had a really, really good reason for coming back here! It was friends!!!! On the road, we meet lots of people, […]
Conflict in RV parks – families vs. snowbirds and you’re invited to the fireworks!

I’ve been way too entertained around here to be bothered by posting on the blog (sorry! LOL!) – we have actually moved back to Thousand Trails Orlando (a week ago! hehehe!), and the drama here is a riot! I’d been hearing on FB how anti-kid they are here at this particular park, and was actually […]
TOS Review – Classical Academy Press review – Old Testament 2 study…

One of the things that I love about homeschooling is that I can pick and choose different curriculum/books for each child based on their interests and learning styles. For some subjects tho, I tend to get in a rut and use the same company over and over, which isn’t necessarily bad, but sometimes it’s nice […]
Pickin’ and Jammin (strawberries in Florida that is!)…
One of the things that we did while the bigs were in Georgia cleaning up after the tornado, was to go to a nearby U-Pick field… where we were in search of yummy red strawberries! When we arrived, the field owners handed each of the kids a small black bucket to place their picked berries […]

With Vaughn and the bigs on a little road trip to Georgia this week, the littles (some of which aren’t very little) and I have been doing our own thing – Tuesday it meant a little-bitty road trip of our own. We drove the 55 miles to…De Soto National Memorial, which is a small park (acreage-wise) […]

We have been having so much Florida fun! Actually, I’m too tired to post, and the kids have most of the pics on their cameras up in Georgia (talked to them tonight; they’re good!)…so, this is a super-brief summary of our time at the Peace River Thousand Trails since we arrived on Friday. We LOVE it […]

After leaving Georgia last week, we drove for a few hours on Thursday and then spent the night in a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Florida. On Friday, we pulled in to the Orlando Thousand Trails RV Park. OTT is an 850 site park with all sorts of fun things for kids (and adults too!) […]

Last Tuesday, after we left the Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus, GA, we drove about an hour south to the Walmart in little Americus, Georgia where we spent a quiet, uneventful night. The plan was to visit a nearby National Park on Wednesday, then head south into Florida that same night. Wednesday morning we woke up, […]
National Civil War Naval Museum, Port Columbus, GA…
A week ago, we left Tuscaloosa, AL, and had a few days to get to Florida. Our reservations at a large Florida RV park started on Friday, so we had 4 days to get there – and had to take 4 days to get there as the park is notoriously booked up. Monday we did […]

After we left Tuscaloosa, AL last Monday, we drove under Birmingham and over to the Horseshoe Bend National Military Park. The kids (from Thomas down) and I had taken a day trip there while my big builders were doing Samaritan’s Purse last April, but Vaughn, Eli, Beth, and Jake had not been there yet. The park […]
