Dining and Drinking in Vienna

Bon Appetit! One of my favorite phrases when traveling! I enjoy sampling regional food and beverages when traveling – both domestically and abroad. To prepare for culinary adventures before my trip I watch YouTube videos, read travel guides and various reviews in an attempt to identify things that might be on a “must try” list.ContinueContinue reading “Dining and Drinking in Vienna”

Day 4 – The Schonbrunn Palace

Baby it is cold outside … Andrew and I on the hill above the Summer Palace That is an apt description of our second full day of museum visits in Vienna. After spending the previous day in the historic area of Vienna – it was time to hop on the train and head out toContinueContinue reading “Day 4 – The Schonbrunn Palace”

Day 3 – Museum Day in Vienna

Today was our first major “Museum Day” in Vienna. I am not a great person to travel with to Museums – as I like to stop and read everything. Often when traveling together as a family – everyone else would be finished and I was only half way through the exhibits. There is an oldContinueContinue reading “Day 3 – Museum Day in Vienna”

Day 2 – Jet Lag, Vienna City Walk & St. Stephen’s Cathedral

I hate jet lag. While I love traveling to new places – I have never really figured out how to cope well with jet lag. I have read the countless “how-to” columns on how to deal with jet lag – drink lots of water, avoid alcohol on long flights, try and stay up and getContinueContinue reading “Day 2 – Jet Lag, Vienna City Walk & St. Stephen’s Cathedral”

Riding the Rim at Crater Lake National Park

It was the last RV trip of 2025. It seems like such a short time ago I was getting ready for the camping season with some new gear, lots of cool reservations and the eager anticipation for another season in the Atlas. Trips to Lake Chelan, Deception Pass State Park, and Traverse City, Michigan wereContinueContinue reading “Riding the Rim at Crater Lake National Park”

The Last Day! We got up bright and early at 5 a.m. for what promised to be a 650 mile driving day from Havre, MT to Richland, WA. It was time to depart! After 21 days on the road – we were both eager to get back home to Washington. I had my fresh brewedContinueContinue reading “Day 22 – Havre, Montana to Richland, Washington”

Day 21 – Minot, North Dakota to Havre, Montana

The next to the last day. We left the Mellow Moose Campground in Minot, North Dakota – train whistles still going – and headed out for a 500+ mile driving day with an overnight stop planned in Havre, Montana. The National Park Service has just over 430 different units – and I always check ourContinueContinue reading “Day 21 – Minot, North Dakota to Havre, Montana”

Day 20 – International Peace Garden to Minot, North Dakota

One of the advantages of traveling with a home on wheels is that you can spend time in pretty remote places that have relatively few amenities – and have a place to sleep, shower and eat close by! The International Peace Garden certainly fits into the category of remote places to visit. If you goContinueContinue reading “Day 20 – International Peace Garden to Minot, North Dakota”

Day 19 – Bemidji, Minnesota to the International Peace Garden, North Dakota

We woke up to a bright and sunny morning at the Bemidji KOA. No rain. No gray clouds. Sunshine. After the downpour the night before – it was nice to see some good weather for our next travel day. We woke up to nice travel weather in Bemidji We got on the road at aContinueContinue reading “Day 19 – Bemidji, Minnesota to the International Peace Garden, North Dakota”
