Stone Mountain Park Lake – Georgia 6/2/23
Stone Mountain Park is well known by the locals and is a great place to experience a bit of the outdoors without going too far from the city. One of the many features of the park is the lake. High powered boats are not allowed on the lake so you’ll most likely see kayaks, canoes,…
Greed wins again in Georgia
If you grew up in Georgia schools in the 80s and 90s, you almost definitely had a stop by Okefenokee Joe who recently passed away at 90, loved to spread the word about all the animals there. He was our Steve Irwin and John Denver. It has been a celebrated part of the Georgia landscape…
A Bump in the Road
It wasn’t all terrible. Lots of complaining here, but yeah we had a lot of good moments too. We were literally on a bumpy road, our dog let out a dramatic long yawn that vibrated the entire time. We couldn’t stop laughing. We met a really nice couple who got so excited they could pull…
Unicoi State Park
https://gastateparks.org/Unicoi The Lake Trail Unicoi State Park is a gorgeous get away spot for anyone looking to be out in the middle of nature. They have beautiful trails for every skill level. While we were hoping for sunny weekend, it rained the entire time, but we were ready! We had our rain coats and our…
Our trip to Southeastern Tennessee
When we head up this way from Metro Atlanta, we generally say “we’re headed to Chattanooga”, but we really stay at the Cleveland KOA that’s about 40 minutes up 75 north from Chattanooga. My son is out of school this week for fall break, and we love to make the most of his seasonal breaks…
Skink Passing through
I think this is a female based on what I read but I am not an expert. Super cute and kinda fat.
So it begins….
If you read my post, A Year of RVing, you know we are going to be looking for a new travel trailer soon. I wanted to start this yesterday, but I felt so crummy as my sleep has been very off kilter. So, today after getting some decent enough sleep I began packing up our…
Can someone tell me what this is?
On the bay side of the Outer banks area in North Carolina, I spotted a bunch of these floating around and I have no idea what it is!! Who can help? Please comment if you know!
A Year of RVing
It all started after we rented a Class A RV to go see the solar eclipse in Tennessee in 2017. We wanted to remain mobile in the event that if the weather was not optimal where we were, then we could travel to a better location. We thought it was such a cool experience to…

Lake Heartwell KOA, Anderson, SC
https://koa.com/campgrounds/anderson/ Length of stay: 2 nights, site # 30 Overall Score: 4 Security Rating: 5/5 I felt pretty comfortable walking around the campsite alone, and allowing my 11 year old to ride his scooter without much worry. The roads are gravel, and short. It’s hard for anyone to speed or drive recklessly. Most people seemed…
North Myrtle Beach RV Resort & Dry Dock Marina
Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Since my husband and I are both remote workers, we decided to go camping during our son’s spring break. I wanted us to be near the beach, but wasn’t wanting to drive to Florida. In a short google search I found an RV resort not far from the beaches. Nestled away in…
Swift Cantrell Park, Kennesaw, Georgia
I just love this park. It is located off of Main Street, near downtown Kennesaw. I started going there when I lived in Kennesaw about 10 years ago. It has a 1+ mile paved track that goes around a little something for everyone. Two playgrounds, one for the littles, one for the bigs. Skateboard area…
Jekyll Island Campground
Overall Rating: 5/5 We have stayed on Jekyll Island before at the Days Inn back in 2018. At this point we have visited a couple of Georgia’s barrier islands: Tybee Island and Hilton Head, on normal family vacations. We didn’t really know what to expect. I didn’t research. I just assumed it would be like…
