Thonotosassa… Try saying that 3 times fast!
Thonotosassa (I love the name) is home to the Big Top Flea Market, aka Rachel’s version of heaven!
They have just about everything you could want and when I found out Allen had a job in Riverview, FL and we would be staying at the Happy Traveler RV Park again, I got super excited! Continue reading
Yesterday we left Steamboat Bend Campground in Cincinnati after 4 nights. We got to see family and hang out with some friends. It’s never long enough, but at least we got to go home before Christmas, even if it was just for a couple days… Continue reading
I’m tired of tires!
Charlie is sick of the hassle too!
After we left our second BLM camping oasis in the middle of Wyoming, we had a camper tire blow out in Nebraska… We didn’t feel a thing! Continue reading
Our Traveling Vacation Budget
I’ve never blogged about our budget before or how much it actually costs to live full time in an RV traveling for work. It’s a pretty scary thing to do, putting your business out there. Continue reading
Eagle Nest RV Resort gave us lots of good info when we checked in, so we got set up and took off right away to do the Flathead Lake Tour! Continue reading
We left Abe’s RV Park in Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon, around 4pm. A little later than planned, but work took a little longer for Allen. Plus, we went to the races on Sunday for the last time, I celebrated pretty hard (with not enough food!) and I was paying for it on Monday! Continue reading
It seems like ALMOST every park I’ve called in the Bay Area has been answered by a RUDE person. I’m so sick of it! Continue reading
I gotta send my ♥love♥ down to Baton Rouge…
We found out Friday that we need to be in Baton Rouge for work on Monday. It just so happens that “Callin’ Baton Rouge” by Garth Brooks is one of my all time favorite songs! So I’m sure Allen will be good and sick of it by the time we get there! Luckily for him, it’s less than 500 miles, so he will only have to deal with my musical selection and singing for one day…
We are avoiding Dallas, so it’ll take about a half hour longer, but it’s well worth it!
I always try to use the Good Sam Trip Planner, just so we don’t get taken into any RV-unfriendly places…
We should be in Baton Rouge for a few days, then I THINK we’ll be heading to Oklahoma City… If that’s the case we will be there by the end of next week. I don’t mind this plan at all!
I’ve never been to Baton Rouge. Our friend Doug, out at Candlestick RV Park in San Francisco, went to LSU and LOVES the tigers, so he will be thoroughly jealous!
I’m super hoping we can get some delicious crawfish… I love them so much… My mouth is already watering…
I’ve looked at the weather and it looks fairly warm. Rain on Tuesday but maybe that’ll give us time to see a little bit of the town (fingers crossed for a weather day!)
And then our friends Bob and Karen are at Abe’s RV Park in Oklahoma City so it’s always good to see them!
I found a campground right down the street from the tower site that I’m hoping works out for us. Water and 30AMP service only, but it’s only for a couple days so it shouldn’t be too bad, and they have a dump station. It’s at an equestrian park… I’m just hoping this little angel puppy of ours can behave herself and not act like a wild banshee the entire time we’re there!
Spoiled little Charles…
I’ll probably have to bribe her with treats… So if you’d like to help out with that, you can put some money in Charlie’s Treat Fund 🙂
This is where I belong… On the road again.
Charlie is SO over the snow!
We are going to have to get our bedroom slide checked out soon. We are pretty sure the motor must be bad on it. Since we left San Francisco it’s been really slow coming in and out. We have to usually try it a few times with Allen pushing on the outside to help it. But this time it’s still out about a 1/2″ too far. Good enough to drive as long as we don’t hit a downpour. But, good thing it’s still under warranty with Grand Design!
Anyhow, we are headed for Council Bluffs, Iowa tonight. There’s a Horseshoe Casino with an RV park, and a bar with live music, so it should be fun! Tomorrow we are stopping in Oklahoma City at Abe’s RV Park to see our friends Karen and Bob – yay! Apparently a tower had some ice damage there so I’m hoping we can stay a few days… But either way, after that it’s on to the Dallas area to take down the tower at Fair Park that Allen worked on back in June.

Never thought I’d say that! But I guess you learn from everything, so thankful I should be!
Here’s a timeline:
Frozen poop tube pieces…
What I’ve learned:
Maybe I won’t have to use this cold weather knowledge for quite a while because we might be heading south sometime this week… This whole “getting dark at 4:45pm” is for the birds! Come on summertime!
No Shave November…
My mom got us these shirts!
Football and food…
I decorated for Christmas a tiny bit early!
Our “kitchen table” since our “dining room” is currently housing a Suzuki Katana!
Thanksgiving tradition that I’m keeping alive! Cheers!
And we will end with little Charlie…
She was trying to drink my mimosa…
