Our Story So Far...

March 2026: Travelers Rest, SC at Carolina Crossroads RV Park After the mega-resort chaos of Ocean Lakes Family Campground, pulling into Carolina Crossroads RV Park felt like going from a rock concert to an acoustic coffeehouse set. The park itself was small and simple — around 50 campsites, one wash house, a dog park, and a little cornhole/hangout area. Honestly? Kind of refreshing. The only thing louder than the campground’s peaceful vibe was apparently the local dedication

March 2026: We rolled into Ocean Lakes Family Campground on Friday and immediately realized…this wasn’t just a campground – it was basically its own zip code. With nearly 1,000 campsites and around 2,700 beach houses packed into 310 oceanfront acres, this place is less “roughing it” and more “full-blown vacation village.” Think mini city vibes with everything from a water park (slides, lazy river, splash zones) to an arcade, general store, multiple snack shacks, and enough go

Week one in Charleston, and let me tell you…we rolled into what can only be described as Brinkley Headquarters: Coastal Edition. Our destination: James Island County Park Campground - just a quick and easy two-hour haul that felt like a warm-up lap compared to some of our longer travel days. Monday: Brinkley Convention + Grocery Olympics Pulling into the campground, we immediately spotted our people - no fewer than six other Brinkley rigs sprinkled around like we’d stumbled i

Week 8 at Wekiva Falls Resort was basically a highlight reel of “Wait…did that really just happen?” moments—equal parts Disney magic, wildlife sightings, medieval mischief, and carbs. Lots of carbs. Sunday: We Became Toys (Emotionally and Physically) We kicked off the week with a full day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with Dan & Stacey —and WOW, this park understood the assignment. The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge area was incredible (seriously, I half expected a stormtrooper

Well friends, Week 7 at Wekiva Falls Resort did not come to play. It showed up with full personality—equal parts productivity, pedal power, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Brunch, Bottles & “Please Don’t Let the Pipes Freeze” Picking up where we left off last week…After our late-night shenanigans at Dan and Stacey’s , we graciously allowed ourselves to sleep in (you’re welcome, bodies). We woke up to a brunch that dreams are made of—crispy bacon, savory sa

If Week 5 at Wekiva Falls had a theme, it would probably be “Expect the Unexpected.” Mother Nature cut the power, the road called us out on a 5-hour adventure, libraries stole my heart (again), and a raccoon family nearly upstaged karaoke night. You know… just your typical RV week. When the Lights Go Out… The RV Life Goes On The week kicked off with rain, gusty wind, and a power outage here at Wekiva Falls RV Resort . Now, if you’ve never experienced a power outage in an RV

If Week 3 at Wekiva Falls Resort had a theme, it would be: cardio, carbs, and questionable musical bravery. Let’s unpack it. Broncos, Booze & a Blast from the Snack Past We kicked things off with Broncos Sunday at Dan & Stacey’s house — because football always tastes better when someone else cooks. The evening featured: A “fancy” charcuterie spread courtesy of Swiss Colony (hello, 1987 holiday catalog nostalgia) A delicious pork loin dinner Our contribution: farm sweet corn

If Week 1 at Wekiva Falls was our warm-up act, Week 2 felt like the full variety show — complete with drama, adventure, medieval costumes, and a shocking amount of hamburger soup. The Headache That Tried to Cancel My Social Life The week kicked off with one of those headaches that makes you question every life decision that led you to that moment. Still, we refused to surrender completely, so we hopped on the bikes for a short 10-mile loop around Wekiva Falls Resort . But the

November 2025: Week five at Splash RV Resort in Milton was basically our greatest hits album: beach day bliss, bikes into town, pool time no matter what the clouds think, and a weekend full of pizza, karaoke, and live music. If you like sunsets, frisbees, and mildly questionable conversations with wildlife… welcome. Don’s Birthday at Opal Beach We kicked off the week celebrating Don’s birthday the only way that feels right: toes in the sand at Opal Beach (part of the Gulf I

November 2025: If Week 4 at Splash RV Resort had a theme, it would be “sunshine-powered socializing with a side of chaos.” The weather showed off, the pool became our second living room, and somehow, we sang our way through yet another weekend. Let’s rewind. Before we dive into pool days, karaoke bravery, and chili-fueled victories, let’s talk about something new I’ve added to my daily routine… Bass Lines, YouTube & Fingertip Survival Somewhere between bike rides and tiki dr

November 2025: By Week 3 at Splash RV Resort in Milton, FL, we were fully settled into the rhythm: sunshine dictates plans, bikes go everywhere, live music magically appears, and somehow we keep running into people from Fort Collins… in Florida. Because of course we do. Gulf Shores, AL: Bikes, Brews & Flying Carbs We loaded up the truck for a road trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama , tossing our folding bikes in the bed (thank you, compact engineering—you’re the real MVPs). First s

Week 2 was about leaning all the way in—to bikes, beer, music, Halloween chaos, and accidentally becoming part of the entertainment.

October 2025: Well, we made it! Our first week back at Splash RV Resort in Milton, FL , and let me tell you… October here is not for the faint of heart. These folks take Halloween more seriously than Kroger takes BOGO sales. The whole campground is basically a festive, over-caffeinated Spirit Halloween, and we are so here for it. Pedaling Down Memory Lane Since we spent a chilly stretch here back in January , we hopped on our bikes to take a spin through the East Milton ne

We rolled out of Loveland early Monday morning - the kind of early where you question whether caffeine is a beverage or a cry for help.
