We will call it a Karpen margarita. Not a Mexican martini but not a traditional margarita. Our homemade lime juice and ginger beer plus some good old tequila and orange infused rum. 😋 @kwwarner @jillgraham512 #sundaycocktail #homemadegingerbeer #hotweathercolddrinks

We were so excited to show Leonidas our old stomping grounds. Austin is truly the best doggie town around. Had a blast enjoying the day with Leonidas and some old friends. #austinlovesdogs #zilkerpark #bartoncreekgreenbelt #bouldinacresaustin #coldbeersandsunshine #reconnectingwithfriends #grateful #goodeats #rvdoingthis

Travel recap: Florida-Alabama-Mississippi-Louisian

Travel recap: Florida-Alabama-Mississippi-Louisiana-Texas. What a long, stressful couple of days. But the sacrifice to get to our next adventure. We traveled across high bridges, construction everywhere, rough roads in LA, waited out storms and gusty winds, drove in a tunnel under water, experienced Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Houston and Austin traffic. Made time for a quick rum tasting and found ourselves some stellar tamales to close out our travel days. So grateful for safe travels with my family. And so glad that trip is over. #rvdoingthis #ihatetraveldays #crazydrivers #drivingyourhomeonwheelsisstressful #rvlife #sacrificeforadventure #countingourblessings #angellookingoverus

Being intentional about where you spend your time

Being intentional about where you spend your time is key to full time RV living for us. After a busy work week in Boston we took Friday to have some fun exploring Fort Pickens and Pensacola beach. And Saturday was dedicated to Leonidas. He got to enjoy two dark parks with beaches, lunch on the dockside, a boardwalk hike in Gulf State Park and some brews at Big Beach. It’s all about balance. Some might say ‘work hard,play hard.’ Grateful to be able to do both and all with my amazing husband by my side. #findyourbalance #workhardplayhard #rvlife #pensacolabeach #fortpickensnationalpark #bigbeachbrewing #dogpark #gulfstatepark #gulfshores

We’ve started our Spring travels. From Lake Wale

We’ve started our Spring travels. From Lake Wales to a quick overnight in Madison to Perdido Key. Travel days are draining, no doubt about it. My stomach is in knots the whole time. The fur babies are stressed. And our whole life is on wheels behind us in the hands of my amazing husband. But man is it all worth it when your backyard is sandy waterfront and you are minutes from stellar fish tacos and the gulf coast for sunset. Thankful for another safe travel weekend. #traveldaysarehard #worthit #countingourblessings #backyardinthesand #rvdoingthis #madisonrvandgolfresort #perdidokey #islandergrill #islandlife #toesinthesand #rvlife

After being stationary for 3 months there is quite a bit to do before traveling again. So our last weekend was filled with some travel prep but also some fun. We found a great little lunch spot in Lake Wales. Hit up Vero beach for some sand, beers and shopping. And a little reading time with my little Parker. 🐱 A great end to our stay here at Canopy Oaks. #rvlife #preppingfortraveldays #verobeach #canopyoaksrvresort #sailfishbrewingcompany #theranchtaproomandcoffeehouse #oceansand #happyplace #lifeontheroad #balanceworkandplay

So grateful for time with our fellow RV friends. What a fun visit to our stomping grounds from last Winter where we met some truly amazing folks. It really showed us you can build a strong community while being nomads. #rvlife #lifeontheroad #lifelongfriends #grateful #sausagesandwhiches #snowbirds #communityontheroad

This last week reminded us of one of the many reasons we decided to change to the Momentum from the Solitude…a full size reclining couch. We replaced the vinyl loveseat and dinette with a couch that yes the kitties and dog love to use but also for our comfort. Both being down with Covid this past week. It’s the not so fun part of tiny living. But the comfy couch was a lifesaver. #rvlife #comfycouch #sickinanrvsucks #momentumvssolitude #tradeoffs #tinyliving #rvdoingthis

Round two of birthday fun this week…Italian dinner with my love. He knows the way to my heart. Wine and pasta. And his good company. Plus I get to enjoy it in a sun dress and flip flops. Sure beats my usual MN Winter bday. 🥶 ❄️ #sograteful #ilovewine #pastaplease #luckygal #rvlife #januarybdayinthesun #80degreesonmybday #rvdoingthis

Mission no more bottled water! One of the things that we haven’t felt good about with RV life was all the plastic bottled water we were purchasing and it’s impact on our earth. We finally got our water purifier from @acuvatech installed today. It was scary drilling a hole in the island but that handy husband rocked this project today! #rvlife #cleanwater #lessplastic #loveourearth #handyhubby #saturdayproject #feelinggood #rvdoingthis #acuva

Happy New Year to all our friends and family. We closed out 2022 with a visit to Venice Beach. It was a day deserving of my last bottle of wine from Italy and it topped off with fireworks right outside our window. Cheers to a healthy and joyful 2023 ahead. #2023NYE #rvdoingthis #welovethebeach #venicebeach #rvlife #cheers

Happy birthday to our amazing Leonidas. He enjoyed some time with the goats and his favorite vanilla ice cream for his special day. And it turns out it was a pretty special day for all of us. Watching the Vikes win while enjoying the 80 degrees. Hanging with by brother Ronnie. Plus poolside and hot tubbing it at sunset. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Sunday funday. #rvlife #thankful #leoissixtoday #lifeisgood #family #vikeswin #heartisfull
