For the past month we have been in Florida at the Ragan’s Family Campground attending a Full Time Families rally. The campground is quite large in comparison to other campgrounds we have been. It has a pool, with a separate lazy river and a really tall water slide. It also has a fairly large mini […]
The RV has one retractable awning and it has been slowly failing. We are lucky that the way it is failing is due to sun damage on the fabric, a much cheaper repair than motors or arms. I have been using awning repair tape for the past few months in an attempt to delay that

March 14, 3/14, is pi day and we celebrate it by eating pie! While still camping with 40ish other RV families (and homeschool), I knew we couldn’t let this holiday pass unacknowledged.

Our first visitor in Puerto Rico was our Annapolis friend, Paul. We hit the ground running with dawn patrol surf sessions, followed by food and just enough time to digest before the wind was perfect for afternoon wing foiling. I wish he was still here to run around with, but boy, my body is asking

The snorkeling in Puerto Rico, in our experience, has been great. We’ve seen so many different types of fish! Some of the fish we have seen have been shinny and blue. I’m not sure what the specific name of that certain type of fish is but there were a bunch of them and they were
