We recently stumbled across a new board game at the Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor Center in Michigan. I always make it a point to browse the gift shop as we’ve found some great books, games, and other educational items, so this time I was just doing the rounds. I spotted Trekking the National Parks board game and had…
Travel Dates: October 14 – Nov 3, 2015 We dropped the Airstream off at the factory in Jackson Center, OH for repairs while we flew to Utah to visit family. Everything went off without a hitch – we stayed a night in the terraport, talked with the technician early Wednesday morning and then packed and…
[…] After a great weekend, it was back to reality. We had a quick lunch stop at the River Raisin National Battlefield, and then we drove down to Jackson Center, Ohio and the Airstream Factory.

The few short trips we’ve taken with the Casita has shown me the alternative, and I crave that. It may be “cheating” like you said, but it’s so totally worth it!
Hope your return to Chicago and getting back on the road goes smoothly!

We have our permanent residence in Utah (at my parent’s house consequentially) as we always have an excuse to come back. This also made it easiest to just keep all our doctors and dentists the same and visit on our way through. We don’t get to the dentist every 6 months, but this year we’ve…
