It Moves

It has been almost six months since we last moved the motorhome. Six months! Today after I got off work we decided to take it out for a spin and fill our propane tank. I have been worried about running out for the past month, joking with everyone that I would soon be begging to…

Raising a Puppy in a Motorhome

It is hard enough to raise a puppy in a regular house, imagine shrinking the size of your house to a mere 300 square feet, putting it on wheels, and having it travel across the country. When we concocted this crazy idea of ours, we never intended to include a 10 week old puppy on…

Set on Defrost 

Spoiled, chunky milk. Bricks of moldy cheese. Rotten vegetables.  None of this sounds appetizing and it is even less appealing when you wake up to it in the morning.  We have had some questions come in lately asking what other types of things people may need to think about when traveling in an RV and…

Water & Wine

I think I have to officially admit, to myself and everyone else, that I am losing a bit of my Minnesota. And what I mean by that is my cold tolerance. Cause man, I’ve been cold lately! I actually put on long underwear the other night (and it was still like 45 degrees out)! BTW,…

A Time for Thanks

With Thanksgiving just behind us and Christmas coming closer, we felt it was an appropriate time to talk about the things we are thankful for. We are, first and foremost, thankful for our family and friends — everyone who has been with us throughout this adventure and the wonderful people we have met along the…

Weekend Adventures 

It was another fun weekend here in beautiful SoCal.  On Friday we went to the premier of “Fantastic Beasts” and had an amazing time with a couple of friends (a special thanks to Tanner for bringing us to the show)! As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was completely ecstatic to attend.  The show was…

A View From Above

The past few days have been fairly uneventful here in Ramona. Andy and I are just trying to get back into the routine of things now that both of our vacations are done and we are back from our weekend excursion. On Monday we went down to spend some much needed time in the water…

The High Desert

Fall has been flying by for the Wandering Dolphin crew. Soon after I got back from Minnesota, Andy took his own trip back — to visit family and friends, and to go deer hunting. It was his first trip back since we left more than a year ago.  His first weekend home he spent up…

The Chemicals

Lately, we’ve had a few technical questions come our way about living in an RV and a lot of them revolve around plumbing. Clearly, an RV has a different plumbing system than a house but what exactly does that mean? Right now we have “hookups,” meaning that our water and sewer lines are connected to…

Halloween

I realize this update is way past due, but my goal in life is to enjoy each moment and stay in the moment. To do that, I needed to take a bit of a break from posting and just appreciate what was going on in my life. My last few days in Minnesota were really…
