Cape Cod and Plymouth

Filed under: History & Travel by Erin on 7/31/2007

We have found in our travels that we don’t really know what we think we know and we certainly don’t know it all; and we often don’t know the whole truth. History is constantly unfolding and the story is retold, refined, and edited as new information comes to light. Our time spent in Plymouth and [...]

Meet the Men of Boston

Filed under: History & Travel by Erin on 7/27/2007

No, we are not running a dating service, besides the guys we’re talking about have been dead for years…

First, I’d like to introduce you to our man of letters, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. We “met” him through the Longfellow National Historic Site which is in Cambridge. The Park Service preserves, protects and interprets the house where [...]

Along the Freedom Trail

Filed under: History & Travel by Erin on 7/25/2007

For the first part of our time in the “Cradle of Liberty” we focused on the city’s amazing history that has also earned it the nickname, “Birthplace of the American Revolution.” There were many events and skirmishes that led up to the War for Independence, and Boston can honestly claim a large role in the [...]

July 2007 Mystery Photo Revealed

Filed under: Images & Mystery Photo by Erin on 7/22/2007

Thanks everybody for your guesses. Unfortunately, no one figured out this month’s Mystery Photo animal.

The creature in the photo was a California Sea Lion. Their Latin name, Zalophus californianus literally means “California bighead” which derives from the large bump that adult males have on their heads (I can think of some other California bigheads…).

I wish [...]

Goodbye Rhode Island

Filed under: RV & Travel by Erin on 7/19/2007

Time flies—we had been in Rhode Island for over a month! Speaking of flying, we took a quick trip back to Tucson at the end of June. Our trip served multiple purposes, we visited with friends and family, we helped Joel and Adria unload their moving truck, and we met with clients (besides, we [...]

Foghorn and Windsurfer

Filed under: Video by Lance on 7/17/2007

Our first video from our time in Rhode Island is the fog horn at the Beavertail Lighthouse on Jamestown Island (officially Conanicut Island.) I am posting this more for the sound than the image, to be honest. It was a very foggy day at Beavertail, and the fog horn was so loud that it dominated [...]

Touring Rhode Island and Surrounds

Filed under: History & Travel by Erin on 7/13/2007

Since the last time I told you about Rhode Island Lance and I have had a bit of time to explore the area. Not far from our RV campground in Coventry was Nathanael Greene’s homestead, an almost forgotten part of a very important man’s life. Nathanael who? That’s what I would have said a [...]

Happy One Year Anniversary

Filed under: Lance's Corner by Lance on 7/11/2007

Amazingly, Erin and I have just passed a big milestone: one year of full-time RV travel. It’s been a fun adventure, and we hope to continue for at least one more year. Next summer, we plan on driving to Alaska, so if the RV wants to fall apart after that it would be great timing.

Filed under: RV & Travel & Willett News by Erin on

Some of you may already realize this, especially those patient souls out there who have been following along on our blog since last July—it has been one full year since we set off on our RV adventure. It was late evening on the 9th of July that we said goodbye to loved ones in Tucson [...]
