Assaulted at Deal Island
I have written several entries on this destination, and it can be a great place to visit, so I will keep this short and explain the title. One evening I decided I wanted to brave the insects that the Island is infamous for and drive down to the dock and fish for a...
24 hours of Griswald-esque “fun”
We woke up and got the Ark ready for departure and headed out of Charleston to Seneca State Forest. Things were going great for the first hour or so, then we got side tracked and the fun began. I did not realize we were going to be going by the New RIver Gorge until I...

Destination: Cincinnati Zoo
It started out pretty chilly and cloudy but became a perfect weather day for the zoo as a hot day can be brutal because this zoo is hilly! But the rolling topography upon which the zoo was built on is what makes it so visually appealing. That, along with it also being...

I must first say, I am so excited to be on another road adventure! There was a point I didn't think we were going to find an RV that we could both afford and want, which meant my wanderlust was not going to ever be satisfied. But along came the "Ark" :) We left either...
