Reminisce- Favorite Trips!

 Hey Y'all!

Some of or favorite trips we don't have pictures of. We started dating before digital cameras were really even a thing. Then they were too expensive, as was developing film. What can we say...we're old.


The no pictures applies to the trip we took with Chris' mom when we lived in Chesapeake, VA. We decided we were going to go gamble in Dover, DE. We got there and decided that looked, meh. SO then we traveled to Atlantic City and spent most of the night in the Tropicana. I was only 19 at the time, so don't tell anyone. We left there come morning and went home broke. Luckily we only played about $50 total. It was more about the spending time together, and going somewhere new to all of us, than the casino.

Another no pics trip was coming home from one of our NC weekends visiting family (when we lived in OH) and getting lost in backwater towns in PA due to construction on the interstate, and detours we didn't follow well. There was no GPS then, and we didn't have a map. We just kept going north and west and eventually made it back to civilization, and home.

I guess it's true- The journey is the destination!

There are more trips we do have photos of, just not on this laptop... like our Franklin, TN trip- that's when Chris really got into history. Or our Erwin weekend- even though it rained most of the time, there really is quite a lot to do there. 

Our first trip in Brunilda (the van) was great too!

Our Anniversary 2014. My dad was sick, so we didn't want to travel far, and we hadn't been camping in forever. This trip reignited our love of camping.

...and so many more amazing road trips !!


Thanks,

Our Favorite Places Thus Far (Updated) TOP 5

Image
 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. Located in Athens Alabama, we are proud to be a part of our military history with a large exhibit center, guided tours provided by local veterans, gift shop, meeting facilities, monthly coffee call and much more . The Alabama Veterans Museum & Archives collection contains an impressive display of artifacts from the Revolutionary War unt...

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

Image
 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. (As we've writte...

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...
