Thanksgiving at the Campground: Pumpkin Bread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
In this series of blog posts, I’m sharing my personal recipes for simple menu items that can be made ahead of a holiday RV trip, but still hit all of the classic holiday tastes that we crave in a Thanksgiving meal. Pumpkin Bread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting I first started making these cupcakes when we would visit my grandmother on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Everyone already had their fair share of pie on Thursday, so I wanted to bring something festive but different. So I turned my mother’s classic pumpkin bread into a... Read More

Go RVing and RVFTA Satellite Media Tour: Video Footage!
Back in July, Jeremy and I had the pleasure of doing a Satellite Media Tour to publicize the release of our book, The Idiot’s Guide to RV Vacations. Go RVing was kind enough to host the event, and we broadcast from the amazing resort campground Normandy Farms in Foxboro, Massachusetts. For those of you who aren’t quite sure what a Satellite Media Tour is (like us before we did one!!!), it’s basically like an old fashioned book tour meets speed dating. News organizations from all over the country signed up for slots to... Read More

Camping Near Acadia National Park: Our Oceanfront Slice of Heaven

But again, if you are part of the RVFTA community, you know that we return to the Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA time after time. The real question is, what’s the draw? What makes this the place that we want to park... Read More

Dear RV Moms, I Think You’re Killin’ It.
Just days after launching our new RV Family Travel Atlas site a couple of years ago, we received this comment on the blog: Having been camping and traveling with little tykes (our grandchildren), we’ve found that, later, they have little recall of most of the scenes and sights they’ve seen, although they seemed to have enjoyed the trips, mostly. Just a thought. At the time, I shook my head, sighed, and wrote a brief response, basically telling the gentleman that he was missing the point altogether. But now, on Mother’s Day, I want to...

6 Standout Restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina
We enjoyed one mouth-watering, belly-filling meal after another during our recent trip to Charleston, South Carolina. And we are still in recovery. I knew before our arrival in the Holy City that we had to taste all the stars of Low Country Cuisine…think shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and Charleston red rice. What I didn’t know was that this region has experienced a food renaissance over the last 30 years, transforming itself into a world class food destination. Depending on which local you ask, you will get a completely... Read More
