This trip we've slowed down considerably. In general we're looking to drive less than three hours between stops and generally stay for three or four days. Today's the first day of a transition. We're leaving Thomson Causeway Campground, an Army COE site on an island...
See Park Video You know you are in an incredible place when the photos can't even begin to tell the story. The Meyer's Beach Sea Cave Trail is one of those places. parking at the trailhead was congested with folks heading out in kayaks to explore the sea...
It's a little beach park just off of WI-13 between Washburn and Bayfield, Wisconsin. We'd passed it twice yesterday and had promised ourselves we'd stop this morning then before we'd realized it, we passed it again. We're glad we made a turnaround and came back. We...
Right on the shore of Lake Superior, Memorial Park in Washburn, Wisconsin is a city park that's just right for us to plug in and enjoy. Loved the fact that we scored a back in site with a stargazer view of the woods! From here we made the short trip to Bayside to...
Although the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore wasn't really on our radar, when we spotted it on the map the other day we quickly decided to include it in our whirlwind tour of Superior's southern shore. To get our bearings we headed to the Visitor Center in Bayfield...
This morning we're in a growing rainstorm as we depart Goose Island Campground. We awakened to misty rain and a misty view of the Great River. In addition we still had a few of the mosquitoes from our midnight battle with the blood suckers. It's been a good morning to...
Goose Island, it's a LaCrosse County Park that we found on the AllStays Camp & RV app. We gambled that we could arrive without a reservation on this Thursday afternoon in August and get a campsite and it paid off! We got #170, an electric only site right on the...
Visiting the statue of the French explorer Jean Nicolet required a U-turn as we were heading south along WI-57 north of Green Bay, Wisconsin. It gave us a chance to learn just a little bit about the history of this peninsula and even more than last evening's adventure...
It's our first foray into Door County, Wisconsin. We secured a campsite at Bayshore County Park in Brown County, just a little south of the Door County line. One nice thing about this park is that half the sites are First Come so you can stand a good chance of getting...
Today's travels took us along the eastern shore of Lake Pepin, the largest naturally occurring lake along the course of the Mississippi River and into the town of Pepin, Wisconsin to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum which gave a look at what life was like in Pepin when...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
