My wife spent like 3 hours on the beach with Bennett today, looking for seashells. As I approached her, she came running up to me looking like what you see in the photo ????. She was so dang excited to find a fully intact conch shell in the water, and got soaked going in after it.

A local ice cream shop in Roanoke sold me an ice cream cone with Cheez Its sprinkled on-top. It was too weird to not try. Salty + sweet almost always works, and this is no exception.

I think my favorite thing about OBX is that it’s all one road lol. Directions are super easy, and I’m directionally challenged ????

We have made it to the outer banks, where for the next two weeks we will call home. The campsite takes up about 2/3rds of the total width of the island where we’re parked(!)
There’s so, so much history in this region of the US, and I’m so excited to dig in!

Today’s a travel day. We’re leaving Virginia Beach and going south again for a bit. We discovered that our seasonal in Vermont wasn’t going to be available for another month so we decided to buy some time on the outer banks ????.

I’ve been spending time backfilling content on my site. A lot of stories I share were once linked to a Twitter feed (ick) so I’m converting that content to a blog post and backdating as I go.
This is one of my favorite RV stories, where we had an unexpected visitor that scared the daylights out of me.
One of the biggest challenges that comes from our current phase of travel is that we rarely get an opportunity to get away from our kids. They’re always with us, simply because there’s nobody nearby to watch them and they’re too young to take care of themselves right now. We don’t send them to school, […]

So this week, we happen to be parked somewhere that’s close-enough to a family member that they were able to come out and park beside us for a few days. I’m so happy to see a familiar face!
That’s one thing I didn’t expect about travel – I always thought I was basically saying “bye” to everyone for years on end, but it hasn’t played out like that. We get to see family a few times a year.

We’re parked pretty close to a military base right now, and there are (loud, but very cool) jets flying by overhead. Kate and Devin are enjoying the view out the back window and watching them zoom by.
I love this setup! I wish we used it more. It’s just a little too annoying to rotate the chairs to historically make it worth it, but today we have something worth seeing.
