    Trackrock Campground Review | Family-Friendly Camping in North Georgia

    August 25, 2025 - By Jen

    We spent a peaceful week at Trackrock Campground & Cabins, tucked between Blairsville and Hiawassee, Georgia. This sprawling 250-acre property is bordered on three sides by the Chattahoochee National Forest, so the scenery is exactly what you’d hope for- lush, quiet, and full of birdsong. It’s even a designated Appalachian…

    Exploring Northern Georgia: What We Did in a Week of Full-Time RV Life

    June 16, 2025 - By Jen

    Northern Georgia was the final stop in our little southern highpointing tour, and it ended up being the perfect mix of adventure, nostalgia, and everyday RV life. Our main goal was to summit Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest point, but we packed a lot into our weeklong stay at Trackrock Campground…

    Yes, Cabbage Patch Kids Are Born Under a Crystal Tree- And We Went There

    June 16, 2025 - By Jen

    If you grew up in the ’80s or ’90s, odds are you either had a Cabbage Patch Kid or desperately wanted one (or maybe both). So when we found out there was an actual place called BabyLand General Hospital, where Cabbage Patch Kids are “born” under a magic crystal tree,…

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 👇

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.

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 👉

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!

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.
