Our Story So Far...

Week four at Wekiva Falls proved that RV life is a delicate balance of plans… and the universe laughing gently at those plans. But honestly? It made for a pretty great week. The Great Bike Tire Saga of 2026 Sunday started with a noble mission: bike into town and gather supplies for another round of Holiday Ham: The Sequel . We rolled the bikes out… and immediately discovered Darren had a flat tire . Not just any flat tire. A rear wheel flat . If you know e-bikes, you know the

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

We made it to Wekiva Falls Resort  in "beautiful" Sorrento, Florida , earlier than check-in — and guess what? Our site was already open ! Score. Kind of felt like we were VIPs… or maybe just ridiculously lucky. But the universe wasn’t done spoiling us — there was an early Christmas gift waiting in the mail room: “Spoonful of Comfort”  from my dad & step-mom. (Seriously, thanks — that cozy goodness was yum). So we didn’t waste a minute. We stashed the goodies, set up just the

Well friends, week nine at Splash RV Resort in Milton, CO — and our final week of this leg of the journey — was packed with cozy vibes, tasty eats, Christmas sparkle, RV drama, and even a spontaneous night in a truck stop parking lot. So, pour yourself something strong (may I recommend a vodka-infused apple cider? 🍏🍸), and let’s dive in! Monday Magic: Cards & Cider with Janet & Don We kicked off our last week in true Splash fashion — gametime! Janet  and Don joined us at

Well folks, it’s officially Week 8  at Splash RV Resort in Milton, CO . If you had told us we’d be this fancy with outdoor Christmas lights, burrito pilgrimages to the coast of Florida, and karaoke under the stars, we would’ve laughed… then hung the dang lights ourselves anyway! Cory Turns the Big 3–8! Cory hit 38  this week, and WOW… how rude of time to move that fast. Every time one of the kids has a birthday, I’m personally attacked because I immediately start doing math a

December 2025: Week 7 at Splash RV Resort started on a bittersweet note as we said goodbye to DeeDee  and Jim , who were heading back to Texas for the holidays. We packed a lot of laughs, music, and memories into our time together, and while it’s never fun to see friends roll out, that’s part of life on the road—paths cross, rigs part ways, and you trust that the road will bring you back together again. We had an absolute blast with them and hope our travels line up again dow

Week six at Splash RV Resort in Milton, Florida had everything: beach miles, broom-powered heroics, potluck-level chaos, and just enough karaoke chaos to keep things spicy. Here’s how our week unfolded… Beach Day, Bike Style The first half of the week started with a classic road trip to the coast. We loaded up the bikes and headed to Navarre Beach Pier , which stretches more than 1,500 feet into the emerald-green Gulf of Mexico and just happens to be the longest in Florida. F

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

Welcome back to the continuing saga of our road trip from Colorado to Florida. Buckle your seatbelts, it's an interesting ride!

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.

October 2025: Hello friends, family, fellow wanderers - it’s your resident life-chaser signing off from our final week in Colorado at Loveland RV Resort, destination: the great unknown … but first, a massive  wrap-up of our week (and frankly our Phase 2 event for the Great American Beer Festival!) Dawn Patrol & The GABF Kickoff We were up at zero dark thirty when our besties, Alex &  Bruce , swooped in to pick us up and haul us into downtown Denver for our Phase 2 judging-ass

September - October 2025: Hey friends, family, and fellow roaming souls - welcome back to the latest installment of Chasing 78° Life  where we’re roasting marshmallows in the fire-pit of life and simultaneously trying not to burn the camper (this week: close call ahead). Here’s a peek into Week 17 in our Himalayan foothills (okay, Colorado foothills) stay at Loveland, CO - and yes, I found the perfect excuse to use the words foothills  and free fried onions  in the same post.

Hello, fabulous fellow road-warriors, RV-life lovers, and dear “Chasing 78°” readers! It’s week 16 here in Loveland, Colorado, and let me tell you - between secret menus, Italian feasts, pumpkin escapades, and beer-competition hijinks, we’ve hit that  sweet spot of RV-park comfort meets “we’re still on an adventure” vibes. Grab your coffee (or kombucha) and buckle up for a run-down of the fun. Monday: A Burger Aha! Moment I introduced my good friend Kara (who ventured down fr

September 2025: Hey friends - welcome back to the weird, wild world of full-time RV life. This was our 15th week calling Loveland RV Resort  home (yep, the one on US-34, nestled in the foothills of the Rockies). Let me tell you, this week was one for the books. Grab your favorite beverage (beer, kombucha, or rocket fuel - your call), and come ride shotgun with me through this week’s highlights. The Ducky Who Lived While running errands in Loveland, I made a quick stop at Mich

September 2025: Well, friends - Week 14 at Loveland RV Resort  (Loveland, CO) is in the books, and it was one for the memory wall. Between dental drama, surprise parties, bike rides, and possible celebrity sightings, I’m fairly sure I deserve a nap (or maybe a medal). Here’s how it went down: The Crown That Couldn’t Hold On (But Did, Eventually) A few weeks ago, during a glorious Cuban dinner at Mark & Nancy’s, I inexplicably lost a tooth . More accurately: a crown from a lon
