My Kayak Thwack: Atlantic Oaks R.V. Park, Eastham, Cape Cod
It was our fourth glittering summer morning on Cape Cod and I was brewing up a pot of coffee from Beanstock Roasters, whose headquarters was located about a mile up the bike path from our campground. We were almost out of beans and I was considering pedaling over to the roastery to reload. Then I heard a loud THWACKING noise coming from the rear of our camper. Max and Theo were already up so I quickly filled a mug and headed outside to see what kind of trouble they were up to. They were playing nicely with their action figures on the... Read More

Celebrating Mom and Supporting KOA’s Care Camps
This article originally appeared in the Jayco Journal. When you own an RV, planning your next family adventure is always part of the fun. But should you go somewhere new or return to a place that you love? Our family has camped in eight different states, and we hope to travel to all fifty. So whenever we hit the road with our White Hawk, we usually prefer exploring new destinations. However, there are certain campgrounds that call us back again and again.

Our First Taste of Summer in the Skylands: Camp Taylor, Northwest NJ

Camp Taylor promises the “genuine outdoor experience” and it delivers on that promise in a major way. The campground consists of 400 acres of lush and lovely woods... Read More

Sleepy Cypress Trees and the Silvery Ocean: Myrtle Beach State Park
When we pulled into Myrtle Beach State Park, Wesley was fast asleep. His twin brothers, however, were not. So we found a parking spot between the playground and the beach so Wes could rest and the boys could play. Max informed me that I was going to be “the bad pirate” and that he and Theo were going to be “the good pirates.” Then he informed me that I had to go over to the kiddy playset because that was my pirate ship and they were both about to raid it. Things were not looking good for dad. Much to my relief, the boys soon become... Read More
