Full time travel burnout is real. Our life may look carefree and happy all the time, but behind the scenes there’s hours of planning, stress over work, getting school done, and wondering where on earth we are going to stay that night. I also stress about “seeing all the things” so when there is a…
Wow. Its been awhile since I’ve done one of these posts. About time I guess. Standard disclaimer that this is not ALL the money we spent for these months. Not even all our discretionary shopping – just the categories I feel that people would find most interesting. To learn how I work my budget see…
Travel Dates: August 7-17, 2015 We left the Dells, and arrived in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula unceremoniously on Friday afternoon, August 14, 2015 after driving up from Walmart down near Green Bay, Wisconsin. Totally ignored the time zone change to Eastern Time as we searched along the west shore of Lake Michigan for a place to…
I went to college in Houghton for a short time after HS. Going back up after Thanksgiving that year that year we got 24′ of snow in 20 hours and school close for the 2nd time in 100 years. We got stranded in Ishpeming because the lake had covered the highway. I remember a car encrusted in ice and looking like a Natural History Museum display. We got the last hotel room in town and had 5-6 guys crammed in there just waiting it out.

I just read your complete post; I wish I had seen you folks coming, earlier. I’m a national park ranger at Pictured Rocks Nat’l Lakeshore and a new airstreamer! The park is inundated with visitors this year, but still a beautiful place to visit – I’m glad you were able to see some of the key places in the park (as your pictures indicate).ReplyCancel
I love zucchini bread! One of my favorite things about having a garden (okay, in my past life) was planting a zucchini and reaping the rewards all summer long! Growing up my mom had a super tasty recipe, but unfortunately was also not very healthy. Lots of sugar and butter, so I stopped making it awhile…
My wife over at Life Outside the Box (lifeoutsidethebox.co) is always making pumpkin muffins. She has allergies to soy, dairy, and wheat. However, she has also found that most recipes aren’t very healthy. Circumstantially, she has had to make her own healthy alternative. I’ll have to share this with her since she loves zucchini. I’m sure she’ll enjoy having more options to cook with. 🙂 Thanks for the post.ReplyCancel
We recently had the opportunity to attend the 2nd Annual Midwest Corn Alps Paragliding Competition out in Cosmos, MN. Last time we rolled through Minnesota Anna from SDI Paragliding reached out and said she’d love to meet up if we ever came through again. She’s a total travel lover and someday would love to set out…
OK, jealous! I’d love to do that. Not sure about MsBoyink..;)
FYI – I linked to this post from our blog today:

YES! All of this! I was getting burned out before we got to Yellowstone and it continued because the first week were here we were in the park nearly every day. I hit a wall. The past 2 weeks we’ve spent nearly every day at the camper just hanging out, catching up on work and school, and loving on each other. It’s been SO nice! We have just under a week left here and we’re all so antsy to get back on the road. It’s, by far, the longest we’ve ever stayed in one place. It was a really nice break.
