Our next stop was Traverse City, Michigan. We had heard great things about the City so we were excited to check it out! We pulled into the Traverse City State Park Campground and it was TIGHT!! We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to back the RV in or not and it …

Climbing up and Running down Sleeping Bear Dunes! If you are going to be going to Michigan you need to see the Sleeping Bear Dunes. They are amazing! Granted we only made it up the first 2 hills but I can only imagine what the rest of it looked like! I would love to return …

Boondocking at Walmart

April 25, 2023August 5, 2014 by Bryanna

We left for Michigan on a Friday – after Craig got home from work. We planned on boondocking at a Walmart for Friday night. No Walmart is not a brushy area – but you get the idea! It actually works out really great! Almost all Walmart’s offer this service and all you have to do is …

Unschooling – Socialization

August 5, 2014 by Bryanna

Socialization . . . where to begin 🙂 Yes we were concerned when we first started talking about homeschooling and now were not.

When I was pregnant with Carson we were the type of parents that bought all of the accessories and tools you “needed” to have a baby. That’s what good parenting is, right? We never thought we would co-sleep and we had the crib set up in the other room all ready to go. Then Carson …

June 17, 2016June 10, 2014 by Bryanna

*Written in Spring 2014 – while we were still in our house going through the process of downsizing to fit everything in the RV* This has been an interesting process. As my sister says we have done a LOT of stretching since we started thinking about doing this last year. We just had our BIG …
