And We’re Off!

by

Oh my goodness! This is a belated post, but I figure people (well, our moms, anyway) might still want to know what the first week in the van was like. As of this evening, we’ve officially been on the road for 16 days. I’m writing this post while boondocking at a rest stop in New […]

Introducing, Weird Al Vankovic

by 5 comments

Well, we named the van. For whatever reason, I’ve always felt weird about naming automobiles, but Jason insisted. Meet the new member of our family, Weird Al Vankovic: We picked it (or… ermm… him?) up in Seguin last Tuesday and spent a few nights at Palmetto State Park to test it out. Aside from a […]
