Our Christmas

 Hey Y'all!


Hope your holidays were pleasant!

We spent or Christmas out at my sisters (as we do every year). This year we did things a little earlier than normal, but the weather was beautiful!

We never do the traditional dinner, that's for Thanksgiving. This year we opted for tacos and fajitas. Brother in law cooked all the meat and veggies outside on the smoker/grill. Delicious!

We did gift opening a bit different this year too. We still took turns, but this year we each opened all our gifts then moved to the next person in line. I did like this way, as it was easier to see each persons reaction, and everything they got.


Minus the items from each other, and cash from both sis and mom.

Amanda:

We had a great time hanging out, and spending time with the family.


For the next few days it rained, but we managed to clean the basement out, and had a heap of junk fort he trash men to pick up.

We are listed now:

 Hey Y'all! This is a bit of a filler blog, because while we've been places we've liked nothing so far has beat these five. Honorable mention to the latest museums, we really enjoyed them all. Both Jonesborough, and Greeneville TN are awesome (Lost State of Franklin) and we highly recommend them too.   We've been fortunate to have seen quite a few sights these past few months, here's our top 5!  There were so many cool things, and places coming up with just five favorites was harder than expected. Working from 5, and in order we'll start with... 5)  Athens Veterans Museum - Welcome to the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives.

Things About Preparing For Van Life That Just Make Sense...

 Hey Y'all! In this blog we're sharing things about van life that just make sense... I'm sure you've seen the memes and videos on social media. We've been slacking on the social media things, especially our YouTube lately. So here's our list: Van Life Things That Just Make Sense Van life is a unique lifestyle that requires thoughtful planning and preparation. Here are some things that just make sense in this nomadic way of living: Essential Gear: Portable power: Solar panels, inverters, and batteries are must-haves for powering your appliances and devices. (As you may know we've opted for solar and a power bank, that's working well for us!) Water storage: A reliable water tank, filtration system, and a way to heat water for showers and cooking. (We have a 5 gal tank, and a solar shower, but we use Planet Fitness a lot for our shower needs.) Cooking equipment: A compact stove, cookware, and utensils for preparing meals on the road.

Places We've Been/Things We've Done- March & April

Image
 Hey Y'all, So, what have we been doing? Some of it we've shared here in the blog (Like our first Loves RV stay) some we've shared on our social media accounts: linktr.ee/outlandadventures We started out March in NE Ohio, Chris' best friend (more like family really, and that's how we generally refer to them) had just had surgery on his ankle. We visited with them, attended a basketball game, a dance competition, several parks, played bingo, went to Quality Inn with an entire indoor play area with pools, hot tub, mini golf, arcade, and various play areas. I'm sure there was more, but those were the highlights! After we left them we spent a few days in Findley State Park, before heading further west, we spent a night in Delphos, OH... Pretty area, but the weather didn't really cooperate enough to enjoy outdoor recreation. That brings us to April... From there we traveled onward, crossed the state line, and spent a week in Decatur, Indiana.  While there we enjo...
