I visited the L.R. Ingersoll Wonders of Physics Museum with two of my good friends, and we spent the entire day happily geeking out over science. After working in higher education for most of my career, I’ve never quite lost my love for wandering college campuses. They’re such hidden treasure…
Washington, DC is packed with incredible museums, and while everyone knows the big-name federal stops like the White House, U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, National Archives, and Library of Congress, there’s a whole world of lesser-known federal museums and visitor experiences hiding in plain sight across DC, Northern Virginia, and nearby…
Charleston, South Carolina is one of those cities that completely pulls you in, where centuries of history meet coastal charm, Spanish moss hangs over quiet streets, and every corner seems to tell a different story.

During our month-long stay in New Mexico, we spent a week based in Alamogordo, which made it the perfect time to finally visit the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Perched above the Tularosa Basin and closely tied to nearby White Sands Missile Range, this museum tells the story of…
It’s the end of the year as we know it, and we’re ok. 2025 was our second full year as full-time RVers and we covered a lot of ground this year! We made it to both coasts (and both oceans if you count the Chesapeake Bay) and a lot of…
