At the end of my workout this morning I heard Keith yelling in the camper who had realized that we had an ant infestation. He spent the last portion of my workout cursing and cleaning up the 1000s of ants that invaded the threshold of the camper before I came to help him. We’ve been…

Day 46 – Magnolia Springs State Park, GA
Continuing our mantra of doing less we tried not to get caught up with doing a million things. I worked out and we took our time getting ready to peddle boat—our first time! We took out the peddle boat in the middle of the day and even with the shady top it was very hot…
Day 45 – Leaving River at the Gorge Campground, GA and heading to Magnolia Springs State Park
Note to self: Definitely do vegi grill packs all the time. So far we have done peppers and onions, zucchini, potatoes and onions, and now broccoli. They are so easy and so delicious and super easy clean up. Broccoli Grill Pack Recipe: Clean and break apart broccoli Put in 2 sheets of aluminum Douse with…
Day 44 – River Falls at the Gorge Campground & Minniehaha Falls @ Lake Rabun, GA
Today we got moving earlier to get to Minniehaha Falls while it wasn’t too hot. We were out the door around 10 am and headed to the falls. We still had to drive around the whole lake to get there but this time there was no construction and we spent time looking at all the…
Day 43 – River Falls at the Gorge Campground & Lake Rabun, GA
We hung out at our campground today until after lunch. I worked out and then took a walk in the river, the girls watched some cartoons, ate breakfast, and Keith worked for a little bit. Then I had a meeting while Keith took the girls down the river to a little beach area on the…
Day 42 – Leaving Manchester via Sugarloaf Mountain Park, TN and heading to River Falls at the Gorge Campground in Lakemont, GA near Rabun Lake
This morning we went to the playground and were able to play the games the KOA had to offer that we missed out on because of the bee sting. We played putt-putt, went down a crazy bumpy slide, and saw ducks while packing up. We rolled out around 10:30 am and took our time because…
Day 41 –Leaving Wappapello State Park, MO and heading to Manchester KOA, TN near Nashville
We aimed to leave Wappaello early (for us) at 8:30 am because we had a 325 mi drive the next day—breaking our 2-2-2/3-3-3 rule of no more than 200/300 mi a day. Since we had a long drive, we wanted to get an early start. We left the dump station and subsequent recycling station right…
Day 40 – Wappapello State Park, MO
We used today to clean and organize. Keith cleaned out the Tahoe (there was a smell only his big nose could identify) …it could have been that the isopropyl alcohol had spilled in one of the drawers, it could have been the spilled yogurt in the girl’s hammock, it could have been the pound of…
Day 39 –Lake Wappapello State Park, Ridge Campground, MO
Another lazy morning at the campsite. Keith got some work done while I worked out and the girls watched cartoons. Netflix on my computer is the way to go (unless we had our Chromecast—which we forgot). Often our phones have service and that is better than the campground WIFI. So, it would be awesome if…
Day 38 – Leaving Pomme de Terre State Park Lake, MO and headed to Lake Wappapello State Park Ridge Campground, MO
Keith asked in South Dakota on day 5 or so, “When do you think we won’t be saying “COWS!” or “HORSES!” or “DEER!” or “BUTTERFLY!” when we see these things as we drive?” It’s day 38 and we are still saying these things and every time, everyone looks and says, “Where!” in excitement…so maybe never? …
