Stop #32 – Benson, AZ

Moving east, we set our sights on Tucson.  But, the drive to Tucson was a little too far for one day (we move sloooooow, remember?).  Billy has a cousin who is a pastor in the little snowbird town of Benson, AZ so we decided to stop there for Saturday night.  This was...

RUN RUN TURKEY – A Thanksgiving-themed game created by the Martin kids!

Introducing RUN RUN TURKEY!  Ellie, Finn, and Deacon have been working hard to create a game using Scratch, a coding program designed by MIT.  Together they designed and created every image you see, and used code to make everything move.  Click the green flag twice to...

Stop #31 – White Sands, NM

We decided to be in San Diego for Christmas, since Carrington could easily fly into the airport there from Richmond.  We thought it would be fun to then drive to Los Angeles, especially since her roommate lives there and would be home during their Christmas break! ...

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Our awesome campsite was only ten minutes from the Carlsbad Caverns NP entrance! I was a little worried that another cavern would be kind of boring, since we'd already been to Luray Caverns, Endless Caverns, and Mammoth Cave.  The ranger insisted, "You've seen the...

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

We were about half an hour away from the Guadalupe Mountains NP entrance, so it was an easy drive, and we got to cross back into Texas for a hot minute!   Karlee gets into her crate under the bus in the bay when we leave, plus we were gone during the day (and not...
Boom.

Boom.

Unless you're a house battery.   So we thought our first explosion would be in the form of the black water sewage hose popping out of the ground and flying around in midair spewing crap all over the campground.  Turns out it was a different kind of explosion.  There...

Things I’m Loving

I've been making mental notes of the things I love about tiny living so far.  Our bus is less than 280 square feet.  Here they are, in no particular order. #1- Nothing is more than a few steps away. Need the scissors?  Just walk five steps to the drawer and you have...

Stop #3 – Myrtle Beach (Again)

Stop #3 – Myrtle Beach (Again)

Toward the end of the week at MB Travel Park, we had some traveling arrangements to deal with.  We had booked a week in late June at Coastline RV Park (just south of Tallahassee), back when we had no idea what we were doing 🙂 The plan was to try and make it to the...

The Toe

The Toe

Back when we were wrapping up bus projects and getting ready to leave, we had all the kids help us move extra wood into the junk pile.  Ellie dropped a huge board right onto her toe.  I will spare you the picture I took of it.  You're welcome. On our first night at...

More Myrtle

More Myrtle

We're slowly setting up house!  Baby steps.  It's not easy to focus with the beach right outside the door.  School is temporarily on hold, and there are no complaints there. We finally painted the glass on either side of our destination sign, and it looks SO much...
