Hi there! I’m still working on migrating our subscribers… But I wanted to let you know we have a new post over on the new site. So please check it out over at You Me and the Dogs! – Cheers! Come visit us at our new home…
MOVING DAY
Hi All – We’re making some big changes over here! One of those changes is that we are moving our blog. WordPress.com has been our home for almost 5 years and it was a good platform for what we needed at the time, but we’ve grown up and it’s time to put on our big…
The Space Between: Dreams vs. Reality
In between jumping the proverbial picket fence, and realizing what our plans are now, there were a lot of plans (dreams) we’ve had along the way. We’ve had to re-evaluate those plans when reality reared its ugly head (damn you real-world!). Here’s a summary of where we started, to where we are now: 2012: The…
Evolution of a Dream
You know when you think you’ve got life all figured out? No? Yeah, me neither. Once upon a time, I wanted a white picket fence, a big house, maybe (that turned out to be NO) some kiddos, to work until I was 65 (OK. I really wanted to just hit the lotto, but I had…
Palm Trees to Pine Trees
Before we start the blog post I have a few items to get out of the way… I’ve been VERY busy since my last blog post so that is my excuse for not posting anything… A promotion, followed by an accounting integration (multi-billion dollar, 15 thousand + employee company), continuing into a cross country move,…
Our Growing Girl
The Gopher Tortoise is 6 months old. She’s grown so much (literally – I think i need a trampoline to get in now) – lets get a run down on all the stuff we’ve done: So last update was we bought a truck and made some plans… well those plans are almost complete – so much…

We love Florida. Its February and we spend our days outdoors in sandals and light sweaters, instead of covering every exposed inch of skin in layers… oh and no shoveling, unless you count digging in the garden… which I can do now… in FEBRUARY. Other things you can do in Florida in February: Camp. So……
Planning for the Future AKA The Birth of a Tortoise (and a baby (NOT ours))
Did you guys think we were done?? Nah… Just a rest stop. So… Recap of the last 4 months…. We returned to the states, visited some family in NY and the Carolinas, then got the hell out of the cold and made the official move to Florida (YAY!) We spent the first week recouping,…
I <3 (heart) Guanajuato
Guanajuato is a place worth exploring. I had never heard of it before a few fellow overlanders traveled there after we met up in Puerto Vallarta. Song of the Road and Desk to Glory both spent some time here… more time than we did… and we are still a little jealous of this fact. SO……
Always Take the Long Way
After Hopkins, we had some decisions to make, namely, which way should we go home? Our original plan (the one before we spent all of our money…) was to hit everything we missed in Mexico on the way back, then go up the California coast to Washington, then, maybe, catch a ferry to Alaska and…
