It took us two full days and walking over twenty miles to see what we wanted to see in New York City. And…as you might guess…we still didn’t see it all, but I wasn’t going to talk Jerl into going back any time soon. Big cities aren’t really our thing and New York City is …
When we started seriously thinking about living the nomad life we came up with a list of places we thought were a high priority to go and experience with our boys. One of the first places we added to that list was the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We think history is important. We …
We spent several weeks in Pennsylvania near Jerl’s office. It was weird staying in one spot for so long. We finally saw some amazing weather! I took full advantage of the sun and spent some mornings reading outside. Yup, that’s a horse! The place next to the RV park had several horses that they rode …
For my fellow pizza lovers, I bring to you a review of Potsy Pizza. Potsy Pizza is a really, really good pizza place in Allentown, PA with more than just tasty pizza. My brother really enjoyed the steak sandwich with jalapenos! At Potsy Pizza you can get a half and half pizza and spilt it …
Happy Independence Day! We spent a day roaming around Philadelphia and learning some history about our Country’s founding. Independence Hall is called “the birthplace of America”. We did a walking tour of historic Philly. Of the thirty three places on the tour, we only made it to seventeen. One of the best things about it…it …
Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site was close to where we were staying so we took a day to explore another NPS site and learn some of our Nation’s history! Mark Bird built Hopewell Furnace in 1771. You can see the Hopewell Furnace Big House in the photo above. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, …
I thought I would answer some questions we get asked every time someone finds out we’re a full-time RV family. But first, I should probably tell you who we are (for those of you who don’t know us). We are Jerl and Jennie. We grew up living about a mile or so away from each …
We took a day to explore Valley Forge National Historic Park in Pennsylvania. We have mixed feelings about historical interpreters. We’ve seen some that are disturbingly creepy, but the Ranger’s at Valley Forge were top notch and had a wealth of information. Our new country didn’t have an army when the revolution began. General George …
While we were staying in Gettysburg we made it to Harrisburg to see the State Capitol Building. We went on a Sunday to try and avoid all of the end of the school year tours. I think there were seven other people in our group…it was great! The Pennsylvania State Capitol Building is definitely the …
We spent a week in Gettysburg. Most of the time the weather was cold and rainy which makes it hard to explore a battlefield. We did have a few hours here and there with decent weather so we crammed in as much as we could during those times. There are a few ways you can …
