Three days in Moab, Utah
[If you’re reading these posts in order, you may be confused right now since the previous post was about a quick overnight in Moab. Sorry. The regular posts take longer to write so the “day in the life” post got...
A day in the Airstream life
I thought it would be interesting to share with you an example of a typical day for us on the road. But what is a typical day? Sometimes we’re coming setting up camp, or going and breaking down camp, or settled...
Capitol Reef National Park
Had you heard of Capitol Reef National Park? We hadn’t until we started researching our first Big Trip, and much like another National Park we didn’t know, it was a treat. The park is named for a white domed rock...

Cooking in a tiny kitchen
A few people have asked us about our diet while traveling. We are eating at restaurants a good bit, since that’s an important way to experience a town, but the best way to eat healthily while on the road is to...
