AG speaking AKA Ally. When we arrive in the restaurant it looks like a normal BBQ restaurant. Since I am growing out of a kids menu (The menu usually says “12 and under use a kids menu” but I have broken that rule many times) I WAS going to get a grown up meal but…

As you can probably guess by the title, we picked up a Southern accent over the last few weeks.   We’ve been down in the Bayou eating boudin and beignets and more importantly hanging with our dear friends we met during our time in Hawaii. We left Louisiana full of great memories and energized beyond…

There are a set of truths which guide Special Operations Forces and allow them to accomplish their unique missions, the primary being that “Humans are more important than hardware.” Nikki and I created a version of that truth for our trip, and said that for our journey, “people are more important than places.” Sure, we’d…

We’re sitting here in Madison, Florida not Wisconsin. If you’re wondering why we’re in Madison, a town of 3000 nestled along the Georgia/Florida border you’re not alone…the people we met at church today who have been here their entire lives asked the same question. The reason is simple, we’re heading west and Madison is along…

It’s a toasty 41 degrees here in sunny Orlando! Seriously, you can’t make this up….God has a sense of humor. We figured we’re back to board shorts, slippas and tank tops but hey, you just gotta roll with it right?  We just wrapped up two weeks in the Carolinas. For the first 10 days we…

If you’re not intentional, life happens on accident. Let that settle in for a minute. Maybe sometimes that works out, but often it means you aren’t living your life, you’re living someone else’s life.  Do you ever find yourself looking in the mirror and asking yourself “How did I get here?” I know for certain…

Well, here we are, back at it again. It was a wonderful Christmas break with all our family and friends. We definitely needed the rest, but we are definitely ready to get back into the arena! Over the past few weeks we’ve had the luxury to try to wrap our heads around the last 6…

It’s funny, I don’t really remember when Nikki and I committed to this RV adventure. I initially joked about a year long surf trip after I retired (ala “Endless Summer”) but realized that was pretty selfish. So naturally I offered to take my family on a year long surf trip, but once again realized that,…

The weather is a balmy 79 degrees, I’m sitting on the patio at my parents backyard, there isn’t a cloud in the sky. It has been just over 5 months since we left here on our adventure and it’s funny how, on the surface, so little has changed and yet everything has changed…we aren’t the…

We made it! After being on the road since July, we finally hit the East Coast and settled into a great campground in the outskirts of Boston late October. Reaching the East Coast is milestone worthy in that we have gone as far east as we can go on this crazy journey. While trying not…
