Memorial Day Weekend ’24
Friday, May 24 // Shawnee State Park (Site 223, a bit hilly) Jeffrey and I were both extremely excited to finally embark on our first real camping trip. The last trip to Keystone was very wet, short, and didn’t feel like a good official start to the camping season, so we were both looking forward…

Keystone State Park, PA
May 11-12, 2024 Site 96 (not a large grass area and super muddy. The firepit and table were super close to the wooded area as well.) Our first camping trip of the season! While, yes, this was the “first,” it was more of a quick shakedown to see what we needed to fix before some…

Laurel Hill & Ohiopyle State Parks, PA
September 29 – October 1, 2023 — Campsite 196 (195 was muddy and not flat, we loved 188E and would get that site next time) Our drive to Laurel Hill State Park was very picturesque, especially for fall. We arrived at our campground and waited for our friends! This was the first camping trip we…

Glacier National Park, MT
Saturday, August 12, 2023 We started our journey at Pittsburgh International Airport in the early afternoon on Saturday, August 12, 2023. After getting through security, we settled into our gate and waited. This process always feels like we need to “hurry up to wait.” After waiting an hour, we learned we had a delay due…

New England (Part 2)
July 3, 2023 – Our Anniversary! / Acadia National Park / Mt. Desert Narrows Because the weather had been so gross, we decided to sleep in. When I got up and checked the weather, it had no chance of rain! Whoo hoo! (This was both exciting and annoying; we had thought it was going to…

New England (Part 1)
June 29, 2023 – Travel Day / Robert H. Treman State Park The start of our grandest adventure yet! Deciding to take Charlotte was a risky move, but after the upgrades we had made mechanically, we felt confident that we would make it the 40+ hours of travel through the northeast. We were also heavily…

Geneva-On-The-Lake, OH ’23
June 10-11, 2023 Jeffrey’s coworkers are in a band and they were playing at Geneva-On-The-Lake, so we decided to make it into a trip and see them live! On our way, we visited Pymatuning State Park– it was so pretty! It reminded me of Moraine State Park but bigger. I definitely want to go back…

Ryerson Station, Hillman, and Raccoon Creek State Parks, PA
May 28, 2023 After visiting family in West Virginia, Jeff and I explored Ryerson, Hillman, and Raccoon Creek State Parks. Ryerson and Hillman didn’t have incredibly a lot to offer, but they were still fun to visit and get our state stamps for our Pennsylvania State Park Book. Along our adventure, we found Frankfort Mineral…

Cook Forest State Park, PA
May 20-21, 2023 Our first real camping trip in the van! We started our lazy drive to Cook Forest by visiting East Brady, where we visited a furniture store and a hardware store, which was surprisingly interesting with its layout, architecture, and cat! We also came across a beautiful scenic overlook that we just had…

Getting Charlotte
April 5-9, 2023 We had been looking at vans for a long time. From about our third year of dating, Jeff and I discovered van life and dreamed of it ever since. We had originally wanted to purchase a Ford Transit and outfit it ourselves. However, we quickly realized our dreams were a lot larger…
