Half Baked

Whew!! The temperatures and humidity are rising as we head across the southern part of our country. While I write, Munchkin and D are in the pool trying to cool off a bit. On Monday, we finished traveling across Georgia, traveled across Alabama, and stayed in Mississippi. We found out that it’s hard to find a place to camp in Mississippi due to a pipeline being put in. We did find a nice, quiet campground that had a pool. Munchkin apparently is being thrown off by the time changes and all of the travel as she decided to get up…

Moving Along

Posted in Military Life, and Thoughts

We’ve had two good days of traveling so far. We’ve traveled through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and now we’re in Georgia. The weather has been good for driving. Munchkin has gone decided to ride some with Mommy and then some with Daddy. I’m taking pictures along the way, but I’m unable to upload them at this time. The campgrounds that we’ve stopped at thus far have been really nice. Our current campground could easily be a nice long stay due to the beauty of the area and activities available. But, we really must keep moving along. Thank you for…

The Adventure Begins

Munchkin’s last baseball game was rained out, so we’ll just be heading over to pick up her trophy today before we leave. We’re all packed up. We’ve done the final check on the house. We’re ready to go.One of the cranes decided to stop by to say goodbye. Well, I’m sure the crane wasn’t actually saying goodbye, but it was cool that it decided to hang out right by us this morning. We have a long road before us, but we’re together. We’ll try to post pictures as we travel along. We think we should have internet at each stop,…

The Clock is Ticking

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

It’s hard to believe in a few days we’ll be saying goodbye to this place we have called home for 2 years. Most of the time, it was just Munchkin and I, but we have enjoyed this place. We’re not sure why the Lord chose to lead us here for such a short time, but we know that we’ve been blessed by the people we’ve met and the places we’ve gone while here. I’m finishing up with the final things that are here and there in the house. We’re finishing up various items that need to be handled before we…
