We’ve talked quite a bit about compound words during school. How you take two words and smash them together to make a new word. “Star” and “fish” become “starfish”. Cara has even caught on, although sometimes she makes up her own. After spending an early evening in the French Quarter, New Orleans eating Beignets (ben-ya)…
**The recipe is from Real Mom Kitchen, one of my favorite recipe sites. I love yummy things to eat around the holidays, and I’ve never made fudge, so I thought it’d be the perfect experiment in our little Airstream Kitchen. Are we capable of making holiday goodness? Watch the video to find out! There you have it….
Knowing we were passing through Louisville Kentucky on our way to/from picking up the Airstream, we put the Kentucky Derby Museum & Churchill Downs race track on our “to-do” list. It didn’t disappoint. When we visited: August 2013 Ages of kids: 8, 6, 3 Where we stayed: Louisville Metro KOA. Moving the Airstream for the…
Many of the folks who hear our story assume that we are somehow financially set, that we have the money to traipse about the country living off savings or other residual income not tied to daily involvement.

With out realizing it that post was a great tribute to you and other working dads. This has been on my mind a lot the last several months. YOU are working to provide this life style to your family – while Jess is out doing the bike rides, museums, and library’s with the kids, you are working. Don’t get me wrong – I am a stay at home mom – it is work, but it is also NOT work. Not a lot of men are willing to work more so there wives can stay home – it is a great gift you give your wife and kids. Thank you.ReplyCancel
So Sam,you mentioned your headphones but failed to share what you considered to be a really nice set.

Longer answer later, but short answer now: I have the AKG Pro Audio K271 MKII headphones. Closed back, with HUGE earpieces. The large earpieces sit entirely around my ear, not pressing them into my head at all. I can wear these for hours in a stretch with no discomfort. These are not noise cancelling, but the closed back (and some music) handle quite a bit of noise.ReplyCancel
I’ve often heard that the best camera is the one you have with you. I don’t know about you, but I pretty much always have my phone with me. Whether I’m out on a walk with the kids, at a beach, or just hanging out in the Airstream its usually in my pocket or close…
[…] could probably get us a tour of Redwood Ranch and help us learn about Seabiscuit. Having seen the Kentucky Derby Museum and Churchill Downs last year (Secretariat’s stomping grounds) we were pretty […]
