Last week, Shea and I had our first sit-down restaurant meal in three months and tonight, we took the whole family for our first meal together in a restaurant (well, on a patio anyhow.)

Happy Father’s Day!

Nice to enjoy the day with my father and my son (who is modeling the robe I got as a Father’s Day gift)…

The kids are both happy that playgrounds are finally open again but they also enjoy the convenience of the swing I rigged up right in our campsite!

Saturday Snap – Our Oasis

Doing a lot of work in our new seasonal campsite (we were granted a move from a smaller site we were in other years to a bigger, better one) to make it relaxing and peaceful…

Saturday Snap – Camper Underwater?

The RV that Shea and I recently upgraded to has some sexy blue interior lights that make it seem more like you’re in a deep diving submarine than an above-ground vessel!

Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)
