Family adventure year - Evan: February 2009
http://evan-familyadventure.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 February 2009. Wow - I've heard about blogging for a heck of al ong time, but never thought I'd actually be writing one. Here's how we got this far:. 1) no mortgage (assuming we can sell our UK house). 2) no job obligations. 3) enough money (thanks to the severance agreement I negotiated when my company was acquired two years ago). Monday (Feb. 23) Wendy has done her job and drafted the family newsletter, so I've:. 1) Registered a domain (Familyadventureyear.com);. 3) Started my first blog.

Family adventure year - Evan: What were we thinking?
http://evan-familyadventure.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-were-we-thinking.html
Tuesday, 26 January 2010. What were we thinking? First, if anyone has any suggestions on restaurants and any "must sees" in Honolulu, the Big Island (near Volcano), and Maui (Kihei) please send them ASAP - we fly from Phoenix to Oahu tomorrow for 16 days. Now, to the blog at hand. What were we thinking? As we get ready to head off to Hawaii, not having found a way to take the RV with us, we have to actually pack! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Family adventure year - Evan: August 2009
http://evan-familyadventure.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 August 2009. Pizza Bagels at 65MPH. Night #1, Shadow Brook Campground, Cooperstown, NY. This was our first meal so we weren’t planning to be too adventurous:. Linguini in a sage-butter sauce. Farm stand-fresh green salad (lettuce, tomatoes, and an onion). Reviews were mostly positive, biggest downer was we had to buy salad dressing at the campground store as we didn’t have oil and vinegar. Night #2, Shadow Brook Campground, Cooperstown, NY. Parmesan Risotto (from a box, actually very good).

Family adventure year - Evan: March 2009
http://evan-familyadventure.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 1 March 2009. Before we told them that we would be moving back to the US but not to a house. Simon (7 years old) was not really sure how to take the news. He knew it was big (he doesn't remember living anywhere else but London) and said, "It's weird and freaky. I feel like this isn't happening". It really helped him to be able to write out his feelings in his blog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Family adventure year - Evan. Sign up for email updates. No more than monthly).

Family adventure year - Evan: July 2009
http://evan-familyadventure.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 July 2009. The adventure is rapidly approaching reality with our recent purchase of a new Itasca Impulse 30-foot motor home. The purchase was the culmination of a grueling research, testing and bargaining process, and we are thrilled with the results. Now, a week after agreeing the deal, I’m writing this as I’m flying down to Virginia to pick up the RV and drive it back north. I’m planning to pick up Josh from summer camp this Saturday, and we’ll then have the RV in...Here are the photos:.

Family adventure year - Wendy: Tornados, RV parks and the City of New Orleans
http://wendy-familyadventure.blogspot.com/2010/01/tornados-rv-parks-and-city-of-new.html
Friday, 22 January 2010. Tornados, RV parks and the City of New Orleans. We are in Scottsdale, Arizona visiting my Mom who has recently moved here after 30 years in San Diego. She moved here because San Diego wasn’t hot enough for her and when you have arthritis, deep penetrating desert warmth is what you would sell your best milking cow - or your condo in San Diego - for. 8220;Your best milking cow…” Where did that farm analogy come from? My question is, “What are RV drivers doing at a CAR show? Wild An...
