Wheels and Warbles: RV Life with a Texan Songbird and a Cockney

Back in New Braunfels! We kicked it off with good friends, lots of food, and catching up (finally — after my Christmas detour to the ER). Camp Landa brought new friends, pool days, and plenty of laughs.

Gruene adventures included chicken & waffles, my friend rocking Gruene Hall, and epic board game battles. I even survived a defibrillator surprise (talk about dramatic)!

We celebrated Mardi Gras, Alan’s 70th, and St. Patrick’s Day, ate way too much crawfish, and soaked up all the small-town magic — flowers, sunsets, Clydesdales, and a Randy Rogers surprise acoustic show.

Ready to...

A quick pit stop in Lubbock, then off to Fort Worth! We hung out with prairie dogs at the Ft Worth Nature Center, celebrated our anniversary with epic views (and food!) at Crown Block, and devoured smash burgers at Crystal Springs Hideaway. Wrapped it all up with a peaceful stroll through the Botanic Garden. Now, we’re rolling back to New Braunfels—because life on wheels is never boring!

We kicked off our adventure at Meteor Crater RV Parrk! Then, made our way to Winslow, AZ (yep, the “Take It Easy” corner from the Eagles!). Got our Route 66 fix and a tasty lunch at The Relic. Next stop: Santa Fe, where we woke up to snow—twice! Drove through snow-covered landscapes to Taos Ski Valley and soaked in the views. Santa Fe’s charming adobe architecture was stunning, but dinner? Not so much. Now, it’s onward to Texas for some sunshine and good times with friends! Let the next adventure begin!

We left Coarsegold, CA, stopped at Orange Grove RV Park 🍊 for amazing fresh oranges, then headed to Vegas! 🎰 We stayed at Oasis RV Resort near the Strip, explored Fremont Street 🌟, saw the Bellagio fountains 🌈, and enjoyed incredible meals at Mon Ami Gabi 🥖 and Ocean Prime 🥩🦞. We also checked out Silverton’s aquarium 🐠, shopped for winter gear 🛍️, and indulged in crepes 🥞 and macarons 🍪. A wind advisory 🌬️ extended our stay, giving us more time to soak in the sights. On our way out, we passed beautiful Lake Mead 🌊—can’t wait to visit in the summer! Off to Arizona next! 🚐✨

Coarsegold, California, welcomed us with its Gold Rush charm and forested beauty! A planned one-week stay at the 141-acre Park of the Sierras turned into three weeks filled with line dancing, Christmas lights, and unexpected challenges.

Midway through a Christmas show, I collapsed on stage—cardiac arrest. Thanks to quick heroes with an AED, I’m here, recovering with a defibrillator and a grateful heart. Healing hasn’t been easy, but moments like Yosemite’s breathtaking Bridalveil and Yosemite Falls, a Christmas duet, and Oreo gingerbread houses brought joy through it all.

What’s your favorite part of a vacation adventure—scenic drives, small-town charm, or ocean views? 🚐🌊✨

We just wrapped up an unforgettable journey from Palm Desert to Jojoba Hills RV Resort in Aguanga, CA. The adventure started with a nerve-wracking climb up Highway 74—4,485 feet in elevation, tight curves, and breathtaking mountain views. Alan handled it like a pro while I held my breath!

From the festive vibes of Old Town Temecula (dog menus for Khan!) to seals sunbathing in La Jolla and the beauty of Laguna Beach, every stop was magic. Per...

Hello, Palm Desert! We kicked off Thanksgiving week with sunsets that felt like paintings. Our RV home? Coachella Lakes RV Resort—peaceful lakes and mountain views.

Thanksgiving highlights included prime rib with “framily,” cheering for the Cowboys, and Lainey Wilson’s halftime show. A trip to Boozehounds let Khan enjoy a pup-friendly treat, while we soaked up the Palm Springs vibe and its Hollywood charm.

We ended our trip with Coachella’s magical Christmas lights.

We had an unforgettable week in Lake Havasu City—Arizona’s playground!

From pickleball and bike trails to exploring the iconic London Bridge and off-the-grid hotspots like the Desert Bar, it was nonstop fun.

A pop-up show, live music, and dancing with friends made it even better. Can’t wait to return!

Next stop on our journey: Camp Verde, Arizona! We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Astoria International Bistro and watched the sunset paint the sky.

In Sedona, we marveled at the ancient red rocks, explored Oak Creek Canyon’s fall foliage, and savored Southwest flavors at the Cowboy Club.

A thrilling drive took us to Jerome, a quirky hillside town with a rich mining history. Back at the RV, a coyote serenaded us under the stars.

The highlight? My first Arizona show at Zane Grey RV Village—what an unforgettable kickoff! Now, we’re in Lak...

We’ve been having a fantastic time in Benson and Tucson, Arizona! The weather has been incredible – chilly mornings warming up to sunny 60s and 70s. 

Our adventures took us to the Pima Air and Space Museum, where we explored aviation history up close. 

We also drove the scenic Mount Lemmon Byway, taking in the breathtaking mountain views. 

A visit to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum introduced us to unique desert wildlife and stunning cacti landscapes. 

We even stepped back in time...

Join us on a sun-soaked Friday afternoon as we journey to Terry Black's BBQ in Lockhart, the "Barbecue Capital of Texas." The 45-minute drive from New Braunfels was brimming with anticipation for their legendary brisket burnt ends.

Upon arrival, we dodged the lunch rush and indulged in a feast of smoky, melt-in-your-mouth burnt ends, creamy corn, macaroni, a refreshing cola, and a specialty beer brewed just for Terry Black's.

Our adventure didn't end there. We headed to the enchanting Luling Lavender Fields. Despite the fields not being in bloom, we delighted in picking up a...

Join us as we recount our thrilling journey to Nebraska to purchase our new motor home, now our full-time home on wheels. The adventure began with Alan’s extensive research leading us to the perfect RV, even though it was all the way in Nebraska!

We set off early, filled with excitement and anticipation, driving through changing landscapes and dreaming of future travels. In Nebraska, the friendly dealership staff made the process smooth and enjoyable. Seeing our motor home for the first time was surreal and exceeded our expectations.

After the purchase, we stayed the ni...
