We decided that we did not want to wait until retirement to get to travel full time. We bought a fifth wheel, that we named "Fithy", bought a truck, sold our belongings and hit the road in June 2018. Blogging seemed like a great way to journal our travels, while working full time from our Fithy, and seeing everything on our bucket list....so here we are. Together 20 years, married 17, no kids, but we have our little Lhasa Apso, Sully, who will enjoy our adventures with us.

We saw the Atlantic for the 1st time last night 😁 we went to Folley Beach, walked around, checked out the shops, had frozen yogurt and went to the farmers market. It was a great evening!
Yesterday we toured the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston. The grounds are beautiful and those oak trees with spanish moss hanging from them are pretty much magical. The trees here are so gorgeous! We decided not to tour the actual home, and opted to take the "from slavery to freedom" tour (multiple tours to choose from). It was both terribly sad to learn about the enslaved at the rice plantation turned English gardens post civil war, and incredibly interesting. The tour guide was so knowledgeable, and kept us intently listening. The plantation is still controlled by the Drayton family, 15 generations so far. The slave quarter cabins (only 4 remaining) were built in the 1850s, the plantation grounds have been in the Drayton family since 1676. This was incredibly hard work with horrible living conditions. It was heartbreaking to be standing in these cabins while learning about the history of the property. Tours of the gardens started in 1870 and run by former slaves who chose to stay on the grounds to eventually earn an income once the gardens made some money. Our guide let us know that the enslaved who initially stayed ended up having multiple generations live and work there, with the last person leaving in the 1990's. We love all things historical, so this was very interesting and we really enjoyed our time walking the gardens. We hope to tour another plantation while in Charleston.
What a GREAT day!! My awesome friend and her sweet sister drove over 3 hours today to meet up with us in Charleston 💗 it was so awesome to get to see her, it's been way too long! Hope your Sunday was as great as ours!
Our 1st stay @thousandtrails is wrapping up, we head north to Charleston tomorrow morning. We've had lots of fun while here and can't wait to plan our trip back to Florida so we can see the rest of the state! We will have to plan a bit further in advance than we did this time so we can get reservations in the other areas we would like to visit. Happy Friday all!
We have had the BEST time over the last week & a half 💗 We left Kentucky, went to Georgia, got to stay in a hotel that looked like a tiny cabin & explore some cute little towns, see my coworker/friend Sheri, enjoyed one of our favorite campgrounds so far on lake allatoona, drove down to Orlando to spend a couple days at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, and today we wrapped it up by going to Topgolf, then an afternoon nap. Tomorrow I am back to work and then early Saturday we are heading to Charleston. We are so incredibly grateful to get to live this lifestyle 💗
What a fun day! We went to Universal Studios and decided to get the fast pass again so we were outta there by 2 and went on all the rides. Harry Potter Diagon Alley was amazing, we had the best time. Korey had to fill me in on some stuff...I dont think I've seen all of the movies and haven't read any of the books like he has. Pretty sure every local school band was there today, so it was crazy busy. Tomorrow is my last day of vacation, we haven't made plans yet but a rematch of mini golf is in order...Korey whooped me by like 20 strokes.
