| There are many, less flashy things to do off the Strip. Within an hour drive of Sin City is enough natural beauty and wonder to keep you entertained for much less than any Vegas show. We wanted to highlight our favorite things to do on a budget, both on and off Las Vegas Boulevard.

| (March 29, 2016) - The most common reaction we get when people learn about our family's year-long trek around the country living in a travel trailer is, "So what was your favorite place?" It's not that it's an unreasonable question, it's just impossible to answer. | | (March 29, 2016) - Leaving Carrabelle on Wednesday, we had an excellent travel day as we followed Highway 98 along the coast through the little towns of Apalachicola, Port St. Joe, and Mexico Beach, and past Tyndale Air Force Base.

After a quick fuel & sandwich stop, we continued west to Pensacola and the Five Flags RV Park. | | (March 29, 2016) - We managed to visit Tarpon Springs, Fla.

This turned out to be a fortuitous decision, as I-10 did indeed get shut down. |
|
| (March 29, 2016) - Our friends Drea and Seth are also on the road full-time, and whenever we're in the same area we make a point to see each other. Yesterday we met for brunch, did a little shopping, and then went Kayaking on the Colorado River. | | (March 29, 2016) - This recipe produces scones that are moist and have great texture. I baked these scones in a regular oven at home and brought them along for a trip in some ziplock bags. | | (May 29, 2016) - There are a lot of things that separate RV camping from regular tent camping - like having a super comfortable mattress, all of your devices charged and working, a full kitchen and, who can forget, a working plumbing system. |
