After returning from Arizona, we enjoyed visiting with family on our next two RV trips. RVing is really the best way to see family, especially when you both have RV’s and can meet up somewhere, like we did with Deb’s sister in April. We met up with them in Petaluma at the KOA to visit... Continue Reading →

Monterey RV Trip (69)

Bend, Oregon RV Trip (43)

Monterey RV Trip (42)
A great advantage to living in the San Francisco Bay Area is that we can visit places like Monterey Bay at our own pace, and not feel rushed to take in everything on one visit. We get to come back again and again any enjoy a different visit each time (RV Trip #8, RV Trip #29, RV Trip #37). We... Continue Reading →
Easter at Half Moon Bay RV Trip (41)
We had planned on a trip to the gold country two weeks ago, but the weather decided not to cooperate.

Buellton, CA (a windmill, a mission, and a beach) RV Trip (40)
We ventured a little further down the coast for this trip, heading south on 101 past San Luis Obispo (yes, we still stopped for Firestone Grill's Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip!) to a little town called Buellton. Buellton is probably most famous as the home of Anderson's Pea Soup, but we visited Flying Flags RV Resort, to use it as... Continue Reading →

Monterey Kayaking RV Trip (37)
We were looking forward to the maiden voyage of our new Sea Eagle Fasttrack Kayak, which we purchased a few weeks ago.

Yellowstone RV Trip (23)
We last visited Yellowstone in 2000, and we looked towards this vacation with great anticipation. Would we see all the great wildlife we saw on the last trip? Would the areas burned by forrest fire of 1988 look different? Would traveling with our diabetic dog work out ok? Would vacationing with relatives work out? (just... Continue Reading →
