One of the things that I love the most about our traveling lifestyle, is that it gives us the opportunity to do so many unique and interesting things. It also often affords us the chance to do activities that we might not otherwise get to do without the freedom all our wheels give us. One […]
Chickamauga & Chatanooga National Military Park…
We left Cumberland Gap on a Friday afternoon, headed for Mississippi and a Samaritan’s Purse tornado clean-up. We were going to jet there quickly because clean-ups are worked 7 days a week, but since it was just beginning, they weren’t starting until Monday. Since we had a little bit of extra time, on Saturday we stopped […]

Last Tuesday, after our visit to the Titanic Museum, and the Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Pigeon Forge, TN, we pulled into the Cumberland Gap National Park!We try not to pull into campground in the dark, but this time we did, and easily found a lovely site! The park has one campground, and it is treed with big […]

While we were in Pigeon Forge, we spent an afternoon at the Titanic Museum. When driving through Pigeon Forge, you cannot miss it – this huge replica of the ship, built half-size, commands attention as it appears ready to plow through the parkway. Parking is free, and convenient. At the entrance, we were met by […]

By 3 Comments
Last summer, some family friends shared with us a special treat that has now become one of our favorite ever desserts! We reserve it to ‘camping’, and don’t do it very often so that it stays ‘special’, but I thought I would re-share the s’mores recipe in case anyone missed it before. We had never […]

While we were visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we also checked out the town of Pigeon Forge, TN. I had forgotten how touristy towns out here in the east can be; it reminded us of Myrtle Beach, with all the themed mini golf courses. We were surprised by all the BIG touristy things […]

Located in the southeast corner of Tennessee and the northwest corner of North Carolina, the park encompasses over 500,000 acres, and is the most visited National Park in the nation. One visit and we could see why! Our first stop was at the Sugarlands Visitor’s Center in the […]
Blue Ridge Parkway…
While we were in South Carolina, the guys had some fun with the local water vines… The other fulltime family dad that we were camping with had told Vaughn how he grew up swinging on water vines in forests just like this one. When the guys were out mushroom hunting, they started looking around at all […]

Since we are slowly working our way back home, we spent Easter in South Carolina…We don’t do ‘Easter baskets’, but we do get the kids some little thing – preferably something consumable! LOL! The first year that we traveled, we were so busy that we didn’t get around to dyeing eggs until the day of […]
