We’re making our way to the Eastern states for this year’s loop. There will be a few states that we just kind of skim through on the way there and Illinois is one of those skim states this year. We only stayed for a week and we only hit one city. Springfield. We do have …
One of our rules (ok, the only rule) to getting the state sticker up on our map is that we have to visit the state capitol building. Since we were in Missouri visiting family and friends and working on some RV projects for five weeks, we took a short mini vacation to get some places …
Old Chicago is a good pizza place in Joplin, MO that has Chicago crust, or ale crust, which is thinner than Chicago (more like hand tossed). I got their Chicago crust which was really good, especially with their ranch dressing to dip the crust in. They also have burgers, sandwiches, salads, and soups. But mainly pizza. The …
We spent five wonderful weeks back in our hometown in Missouri. It was so great spending some time with family and friends!! One of the hardest things about living a nomadic life is being away from family and friends for long periods of time so we all took the opportunity to spend as much time …
We took a day off and went out exploring part of Oklahoma. We’d been to Oklahoma on several occasions, but we’d never taken the boys to the State Capitol so, we loaded up the car and drove the almost four hours from where we were staying so we could officially check Oklahoma off of our …

My favorite pizza there is …
Hey Guys!! We spent three weeks back in our old stomping grounds. It was really weird being in familiar surroundings after a year of moving to a new city every week or two. Why did we go back to the Houston area when our 50 state exploration isn’t done? We have friends in the area …
Hey Guys! So, we spent a week in Austin…but we really didn’t do much at all. We stayed in a great little state park and didn’t even get any hiking in. I guess that’s what happens when three out of the five of us were sick or injured. We had an allergy issue, a cold, …
Guten Tag! Willkommen to Fredericksburg! Sprechen Sie Deutsch? The language the German settlers brought with them to this area back in the 1800s can still be heard and seen in most of the signs and buildings around town and if you listen carefully, you can even hear it when you listen to the locals. The …
Our plan was to spend two weeks in San Antonio, but we’ve found that bigger cities aren’t really our thing. So, we ended up cutting our visit to one week. We managed to get everything on our list done for this area in a couple of days. We’d been to San Antonio before so our …
