    Vanagons in the Valley ’24

    Friday, July 12, 2024 – Sunday, July 14, 2024 We left after work on Friday and made our way to Duncannon, PA, to one of the most interesting “campsites.” It is basically a little valley that is flanked by the river on one side and an active railroad line on the other, with trains going…

  • Mammoth Caves National Park, KY

    Mammoth Caves National Park, KY

    July 2-7, 2024 Tuesday, July 2, 2024 Jeffrey and I left after work, around 5:00. We were hoping to install a new radio before we left, but unfortunately things did not pan out and work as we wished, so we ended up bringing the new stereo with us to try and install later. (Ours had…

  • Congaree National Park, SC

    Congaree National Park, SC

    June 23, 2024 Ohhhhh, Congaree. For the very short time we visited you, you took us through the ringer. Leaving us with not only memories, bug bites, and sweat, but the promise to never return again. When we were originally planning our trip to Florida, we decided we wanted to sprinkle some camping in along…

  • Daytona Beach, FL ’24

    Daytona Beach, FL ’24

    Friday, June 14 Jeff and I took off right after work (4:45) for Alpine Climbing Campground outside of New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. We got there around 9:30 and set up our tent on the platform among the trees. We hadn’t camp-tented in a couple years, so it was kind of fun…

  • Universal Studios ’24

    Universal Studios ’24

    June 16, 2024 After spending the night at a nearby Hampton, Jeff and I decided to take our first day of vacation and explore Universal! To be honest, I was a bit wary of Universal. For as much as I love travel, I equally hate thrill rides, and most of the rides at Universal fit…

  • Raystown Lake, PA

    Raystown Lake, PA

    Thursday, May 30, 2024 After work, we quickly got everything ready and hit the road! We enjoyed paninis along the way and took in the beautiful scenery of the drive. The trip toward central PA is always so pretty; there are so many beautiful overlooks, windmills, and, at this time of day, sunset views. We also…

  • Memorial Day Weekend ’24

    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

    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

    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

    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…

This site is dedicated to our grandparents, so that they may live through us in our travels.

Oh, hi there!
It’s nice to meet you.
