While we were in South Texas we got to celebrate The Boy’s Birthday! While driving to Resaca De La Palma State Park we saw a few billboards advertising pirate cruises. Knowing that The Boy has been pirate-obsessed since he was 3 or 4, we knew that this would be the perfect birthday present! The first thing we did was book online with Black Dragon Pirate Cruises, based out of Port
In a previous post I wrote in depth about our Separett RV Toilet. However, that’s not the only thing we love in our bus’s bathroom. Here is a list of our favorite bathroom accessories, and why they’ve earned a place on this list!

A while ago, we talked about the different toilet options one can have in an RV or Bus. We’ve been on the road now for half a year as of writing. This has given us many miles to put our choice, the Separett Villa, thoroughly through its paces. We have zero regrets!

While we were in South Texas for the winter, we were based out of Resaca de la Palma State Park outside of Brownsville, TX. Mom got a job there as a work/camping volunteer. In exchange for just 24 hours of her time a week, we got a free spot to park the bus with full hookups! Resaca de la Palma State Park is a sprawling wildlife refuge surrounding an oxbow
Our last stop before our winter layover, and only the second time we have paid to park. Lake Corpus Christi State Park is a sprawling park cupped around one end of Lake Corpus Christi. Available RV amenities include water, power with 50A, 30A, and 20A receptacles, and an easy-to-access dump station. Our spot only cost $20 a night, and they have spots with sewer hookups for a little bit more.
Another stop on our run south from the Sugar Beat Harvest. The Dancing Bee Honey Farm and Winery is a member of the Boondocker’s Welcome network of free camping sites across the US. It is located in Rodgers, TX, just off Highway 190. As for a campsite, it’s not much, just a gravel lot with lots of sunlight for solar. Adjacent to the railroad and highway, it can be a
Our first stop in Texas on our run south from The Sugar Beet Harvest. Lake Quitman West Dispersed Camping was a great place to cool our heels for a bit and recover from a simply horrible cold that was going around the bus. Located 20 minutes or so outside of the town of Lake Quitman, it’s a little off the beaten path, but not so much as to be inaccessible.
On our sprint south running from winter, we stayed a few days in Oklahoma, giving the girl and me an opportunity to check out The Gathering Place, in Tulsa, Oklahoma This sprawling 66.5-acre free public park was absolutely amazing! Even in the winter with the water features turned off, The Girl and I only explored a fraction of it. While there, we spent a lot of time on the truly
While we were at Jauqes Rolling Wheels DIY, we had an opportunity to explore a lot of the local area. One of the gems we found was the Route 66 Museum in Lebanon. The museum is located inside the Lebanon Library, and while small, was fascinating, and most importantly, FREE! Inside, we were delighted to find a treasure trove of information and artifacts from the area back when Route 66
While we stayed at Jacques Rolling Wheels DIY, we had the opportunity to explore the region. One opportunity we capitalized on was Spookfest! This family-friendly Halloween event was hosted by the local medical group Jordan Valley Community Health at the spacious Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park in Springfield, Missouri. The event very much had a carnival feel with game booths for little kids, balloon animals, hay rides, and even a corn maze!
