    December 18, 2025 - By Jen

    The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas is one of those places that manages to check all the boxes: world-class American art and exhibitions, stunning architecture, and 134 acres of Ozark nature- with free general admission to top it all off. Designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie,…

    If you’re planning a trip to Eureka Springs and want a campground that feels equal parts affordable, welcoming, and genuinely fun, Route 62 Motor Resort is an awesome pick. We stayed here during a November visit and were surprised at just how much this little resort packs in – full…

Okay friends, I finally pulled together something Okay friends, I finally pulled together something I’ve been working on for a while and I’m SO excited to share it! I made an interactive Google map with 300+ things to do in Philadelphia (food, museums, historic sites, murals, playgrounds, concerts, parks, you name it) and I’m giving it away for free on the blog! If you’re planning a visit to Philly, this map is such a fun tool. You can even save your own copy and customize it- color code spots, add notes, delete things you’re not interested in, etc. I use maps like this to plan our trips and figured… why not share? The post breaks everything down and has the link to grab the map 👇 link in bio! . . . #philadelphia #philly #pennsylvania #thingstodoinphilly #familytravel #travel #travellover #travelplanning #freedownload #freebie #freetraveltool #rvlife #roadtrip
We’ve learned that the Blue Ridge Parkway is so mu We’ve learned that the Blue Ridge Parkway is so much more than a pretty road you cruise through with the windows down.  In fall 2024, we spent a week in Roanoke, Virginia, and our campground was right on the parkway- so scenic drives became part of everyday life. Some mornings we’d hop on “just for one overlook,” and other days we’d wander for miles, stopping whenever a patch of color or a peek of mountains caught our eye. But the real magic happened when we got out of the truck. One of our favorite surprises was the Roanoke River Overlook. We pulled over expecting a quick photo and instead found a short trail dropping down to the river. A few minutes later we were standing on the riverbank, soaking in the quiet water views and checking out the old 1906 Niagara Dam powerhouse across the river. Such a fun little slice of history tucked into the trees! So here’s your reminder from the road: Don’t just drive the Blue Ridge Parkway… step off and explore. #virginia #rvlife #travel #nationaparks #roanokeva
New trip recaps just hit the blog! 🌵 Amarillo, Te New trip recaps just hit the blog! 🌵 Amarillo, Texas We checked out the “Grand Canyon of Texas” (aka Palo Duro Canyon), wandered the Amarillo Botanical Gardens, and obviously had to eat at the Route 66-famous Big Texan Steakhouse (yes, it’s exactly the over-the-top Texas experience you’re imagining). 🦬 Edmond, Oklahoma We camped just outside Oklahoma City and packed SO much into the week- the OKC Memorial & Museum, the OKC Zoo, a peek at the US Capitol Tree, and even an evening stroll through the charming nearby town of Guthrie. Plus a few more surprises we squeezed in between work days! If you want to follow along or plan your own route through these Route 66 towns, both posts are up now 👉 link in bio! . . . #travel #triprecap #adventure #roadtrip #route66 #rvlife #fulltimervlife #fulltimervers #rvliving #oklahoma #oklahomacity #okc #amarillo #amarillotx #texas
If you love hikes with a reward at the end, Nuttal If you love hikes with a reward at the end, Nuttallburg has your name all over it. This trail literally dropped us into a piece of West Virginia history- conveyor belts, coal tipples, old foundations, and a whole abandoned mining community just hanging out in the woods like it never left. New River Gorge keeps blowing our minds. You go in expecting a walk in the trees… and end up time-traveling. Highly recommend adding this one to your list if you’re exploring the park! #nationalparks #newrivergorge #newrivergorgenationalpark #hiking #abandoned
Low tide is like a secret door to a whole other wo Low tide is like a secret door to a whole other world We made it to Yaquina Head right as the tide dropped, and suddenly the rocks were alive- sea stars, anemones, crabs, the works. One of our favorite simple joys on the coast: no admission, no reservations, just good timing and a willingness to get your feet wet. Tide charts are our love language at this point . Oregon, you’re magic. #oregon #oregoncoast #pnw #pacificnorthwest #tidepools nature ocean travel adventure
