This Colorado town has fountains you can actually drink from…would you drink the water?Welcome to Manitou Springs, where colorful historic buildings and natural mineral springs make every stroll an adventure. It's said the spring water is safe to drink, and many of the springs are naturally carbonated. Every fountain has its own unique mineral blend, so no two taste exactly alike.Just be sure to read the signs before taking a sip—they'll tell you about each spring and whether it's meant for drinking.As we drove around, we found something we didn't expect… a huge drum circleAnd yes… it definitely had that free-spirited Colorado vibe in the air you hear about.

You don't just get to the top—you earn it. (Part 2)The Pikes Peak Highway climbs over 14,000 feet with 150+ turns, steep drop-offs, and constantly changing scenery. It's one of the most iconic mountain drives in the U.S.Up here, you're literally above the clouds. The air is thinner, the temperature drops fast, and everything feels quieter… almost unreal.It's hard to describe until you're standing here looking out over Colorado.Would you do this drive or take the Cog Railway instead? #PikesPeak#ColoradoAdventures#MountainRoads#wheelsandwarbles#fulltimetraveler

Driving up to 14,000 feet… one wrong turn would be a very bad day.This is Pikes Peak in Colorado… one of the highest drivable mountains in North America.The road climbs over 14,000 feet with more than 150 turns… and the higher you go, the thinner the air gets. What starts as a normal mountain drive slowly turns into something a little more intense and scary… tighter curves, steep drop-offs, but views that get bigger with every mile.By the time you reach the top, you're literally driving above the clouds.The views are worth it… but the drive is something you don't forget. Would you drive it. #PikesPeak #ColoradoTravel #VisitColorado #MountainAdventures#WheelsandWarbles

Would you cross a bridge with 40 mph winds… and gusts hitting 53?I'm at the Royal Gorge Bridge—built back in 1929 and once the highest bridge in the world. It's over 950 feet above the Arkansas River… and today, the wind is making it feel every bit of that.Every step feels like the bridge is moving with the wind. you can feel that push the entire way across.At 40 mph sustained winds, you're constantly adjusting just to stay steady. Then a gust hits—53 mph—and it's a reminder that nature is very much in control out here.What's crazy is this bridge has been standing for nearly a century, surviving everything from time to massive Colorado weather—and even wildfires that swept through the gorge in 2003.Without the wind, this would've been a peaceful, breathtaking walk, I think. But today it's pure adrenaline.#RoyalGorgeBridge #RoyalGorge #ColoradoAdventures #VisitColorado#WheelsandWarbles

Would you race leading a donkey… or would you rather just watch the race? Let me know in the comments, and don't forget to follow along for more unforgettable adventures!” What do gold miners, racing donkeys, and a Wild West town have in common? Welcome to Donkey Derby Days in Cripple Creek, Colorado!Every June, the streets of Cripple Creek transform into one of Colorado's most unique festivals. Back in the gold rush days, burros were the hardworking companions that hauled supplies through these rugged mountains. Today, that history comes alive as people race alongside donkeys through downtown in a hilarious competition that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining.But Donkey Derby Days is more than just races. You'll find live music, food vendors, family activities, and a chance to step back into the Old West in one of Colorado's most historic mining towns.Whether you're cheering on your favorite donkey or just soaking up the small-town charm, this event is guaranteed to leave you smiling.#DonkeyDerbyDays #CrippleCreek #ColoradoAdventures #VisitColorado

Have you been?Imagine standing in a place where the Earth feels like it's been sculpted by giants…Welcome to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.The massive red rock formations—some towering over 300 feet tall—are balanced in ways that almost don't seem real. But they are. And they've been here for millions of years.This land was formed over 300 million years ago, then tilted and shaped by powerful geological forces, leaving behind these dramatic sandstone fins, spires, and towering cliffs.And what makes it even more special? It's completely free and open to the public—protected as a public park so everyone can experience it.Long before us, this was a sacred place for Native American tribes, and you can still feel that energy when you walk through it today.Every turn on the trail reveals something new—like the towering Balanced Rock that looks like it shouldn't be standing… but somehow is.Whether you're hiking, driving, or just stopping for a moment to take it all in, this place has a way of making you slow down and look up.So if you ever find yourself in Colorado, don't just pass through—step into a place where nature feels like art.

One of the most iconic roadside attractions on Route 66!

As you cruise down the park road, you are looking at rock walls that are over two hundred and fifty million years old. But if you look up at the right moment...you'll spot the opening to the Big Cave. There is no official sign, but a short scramble up the loose red clay connects the road straight to the cavern. It gets slippery, but the view from the top changes everything."Stepping inside feels like walking into a massive natural amphitheater. The temperature instantly drops, and you get a perfect frame looking back out over the canyon floor. Save this for your next Texas road trip!Would you climb up here? #PaloDuroCanyon #BigCave #TexasStateParks #TexasTravel #HikingTexas #GrandCanyonOfTexas #ClimbTexas #ExploreMore #TravelReels #AdventureAwaits

Is It Worth the Visit? YES!Thinking about moving to Texas or planning an epic Texas Hill Country road trip? We are back in one of our absolute favorite towns! In this video, we return to the charming town of New Braunfels, Texas, to share the best things to do, eat, and experience. Nestled perfectly between Austin and San Antonio, this town offers the ultimate mix of legendary live music, world-class Texas BBQ, historic German heritage, and beautiful spring-fed rivers. Plus, I share some of my favorite moments catching up with old friends—and making new ones—on the pickleball courts! It is such a welcoming community, and I brought the photos to prove it.From holding live armadillos to visiting historic Gruene Hall to eating our way through the oldest bakery in Texas, we packed an unbelievable amount of adventure into our mid-April to mid-June stay. We also take you on day trips to explore the brand-new gorilla habitat at the San Antonio Zoo, the trendy Pearl District, and my favorite BBQ in Austin. Whether you are traveling in an RV or looking for your next vacation destination, here are tips, hidden gems, and favorite food stops in New Braunfels! I barely scratched the surface of all the amazing food and adventure here. You truly have to experience New Braunfels for yourself!

Bucket list moment ✔️A few of us from our RV park swam with manatees at Hunter Springs Park in Crystal River — 62° air, 72° crystal-clear spring water, and the gentlest giants gliding right past us.Floating quietly while a manatee swims up to you? Pure magic.Sometimes the best memories happen when you get a little cold, a little brave, and dive in.

Paddling the Chassahowitzka River feels like slipping into wild, untouched Florida. We launched in a tandem kayak with friends from our RV park and quickly found ourselves surrounded by quiet beauty—sunlit trees, birds warming their wings, and clear water winding through the springs.Then came the moment everyone hopes for: manatees. These gentle giants drifted right beneath our kayaks near the Crack, and we even saw mamas nursing their babies. With fish jumping around us and the peaceful flow of the river, it felt like kayaking through a hidden sanctuary.If you've ever wanted to paddle alongside manatees in their natural home, this river delivers pure magic—and reminds you that the best adventures happen when you slow down and let nature set the pace.We launched from the Chassahowitzka RV Park, $5 parking and $45 Tandem Kayak Rental.

What's better than starting the day with bikes loaded and nowhere to rush to? We set out from Central Ridge District Park in Beverly Hills, Florida, onto the Withlacoochee State Trail headed north with RV neighbors who quickly became friends, riding under perfect blue skies as the miles slipped by with easy conversation.Doesn't food taste better after a good ride? Lunch at Swampy's on the Rainbow River, complete with herons, egrets, and even an alligator sighting, made the perfect halfway stop. After laughs and an easy 3½-hour adventure, we headed back and it reminded that the best journeys aren't just about where you go — they're about who you meet and the memories you make along the way.

What if winter didn't feel like winter at all?We rolled into Fort Walton Beach, just outside of Destin, Florida, and I was instantly giddy. Would the emerald water really be that beautiful? (Spoiler: yes.) What began as a mid-December stop turned into a full month of sunshine, 70–80° days, and bayside mornings at Destin West RV Resort that never got old.What do you do when the view outside your RV looks like a postcard? You slow down. Foggy mornings, boats drifting by, lazy lunches in Destin, and sunsets that made everyone stop talking. Is there anything better than sipping a Bushwhacker while the sun melts into the Gulf?We met up with friends, chased great food (including a lobster roll I'm still dreaming about), and even wandered as far as Panama City Beach and charming Rosemary Beach. And New Year's Eve? Pajamas, RV windows, and fireworks—because who says that isn't perfect?Rainy days came and went, but beauty showed up more often than not. A rainbow after a storm. A stingray gliding through the water just before we left. Isn't that the kind of goodbye that makes you want to come back?Florida didn't just give us a destination—it gave us moments. And really, isn't that why we travel?

We pulled into Gulf Shores, Alabama planning to stay a month—and quickly learned why so many travelers never want to leave. From iconic beach stops and jaw-dropping Gulf Coast sunsets to an unexpected day as a featured extra in the movie Deadly Destination Wedding, this stop was full of surprises.Thanksgiving turned into a true RV-life experience with beachside potlucks, new friends, bike rides through town (including a few very real gator sightings), pickleball, oyster nights, and Bushwackers at Flora-Bama. We explored Orange Beach, Pensacola's emerald waters, festive lights at The Wharf, drone shows, local food favorites, and cozy evenings under Christmas lights back at the park.If you're traveling the Gulf Coast by RV—or dreaming about it—Gulf Shores offers the perfect mix of coastal beauty, great food, and welcoming community. Sometimes the best travel moments aren't planned… they find you when you slow down and say yes to the journey.Check out previous episodes for travel inspiration!

Life is short—go see the place you've been putting off. And if this episode moves you, I'd love for you to subscribe and share it.Our journey was filled with scenic drives, quiet moments, and memories of our sweet fur baby, Khan — always with us, always missed.We soaked up lake views and starry skies at Eagle Lake RV Park in Susanville, then rolled into Minden, Nevada, where mountain towns, great food, and a drive to Truckee reminded us why the open road never gets old. Reno surprised us with incredible meals, lively energy, and a standout dinner at Duke's Steakhouse — a perfect place to celebrate life's moments.Virginia City took us straight back to the Wild West, complete with wooden boardwalks, live music, and golden sunsets over winding mountain roads. Along the way, we discovered unforgettable food — from Detroit-style pizza in Reno to ice cream by Lake Tahoe after one of the most scenic drives in the country, especially Emerald Bay.Petaluma became our cozy home base as we explored rugged Bodega Bay, quiet Dillon Beach, and the dreamy vineyards of Napa Valley, where even the air smells like grapes. Towering redwoods at Armstrong Reserve left us in awe, and the fog-wrapped Golden Gate Bridge felt like pure magic.Some places tugged at the heart — especially returning to Coarsegold to reunite with the angels who saved my life. Yosemite humbled us once again among giant sequoias thousands of years old, reminding us just how small — and lucky — we are.We wrapped this chapter in Southern California, soaking up sunshine, time with loved ones, and peaceful moments before turning east again — grateful, inspired, and ready for whatever adventure the road brings next. 

Our hearts are heavy today as we said goodbye to our sweet boy, Khan. He crossed over to doggie heaven, and we already miss him more than words can say.Khan wasn't just our dog — he was family. He was our travel buddy, our heart , our joy. He loved rides in the Jeep, new adventures in the RV, and just being by our side no matter where the road took us.We were so blessed to share this life with him and will carry his spirit with us wherever we go. Rest easy, our precious boy. You'll always be part of every journey. 

Join us as we chase adventure along the stunning Oregon Coast!

Join us as we explore Goldendale, Washington, where surprises await at every turn! From fresh peaches at Peach Beach RV Resort to a quick bike ride for more at Gunkel Orchards, and even an Indian food truck at a truck stop across the river—this stop is full of flavor and adventure. We soak in the sun at Maryhill State Park and reflect at the Stonehenge Memorial, a full-scale tribute to WWI soldiers.Sometimes the best travel memories come from the unexpected stops—and this trip proves it.

Road trip calories don't count!

Thinking about visiting Sturgis, South Dakota? We spent a month there and saw so much. Parking our RV right above downtown gave us a front-row seat to the energy of the rally town. Day trips to Deadwood are a must if you want to catch live Old West shootouts, while drives along the Needles Highway deliver jaw-dropping granite spires and tunnels you won't forget. Of course, no visit is complete without seeing the iconic Mount Rushmore or experiencing a day at the Full Throttle Saloon—the largest biker bar in the world.For nature lovers, Custer State Park offers incredible wildlife encounters (watch for bison herds blocking the road), and the Badlands will leave you in awe with its otherworldly landscapes. If you're there in July, don't miss the Fourth of July fireworks over downtown—it's unforgettable.We also share what it's like to experience Sturgis outside of the rally, make new friends along the way, and how I found the courage to perform my first solo show since my health scare.

Casper & Devils Tower, Wyoming!

We rolled into the Tiffin Motorhome Rally in Rock Springs Wyoming at the Sweetwater Complex ready to learn and meet new people!✨ Made fast friends on night one, hit the off-road trails Saturday, and visited the wild mustangs on Sunday

We kicked off our epic journey from Boulder, WY to Island Park, ID — complete with canals, cozy RV vibes, and yes, a thunderstorm with a mountain view. But the real magic started when we finally entered Yellowstone National Park — a dream I've had since I was a kid!From geysers that shoot sky-high and rainbow-colored springs, to surprise wildlife sightings like bison traffic jams, mama grizzlies, and even a mountain goat grazing high on the cliffs — it was one jaw-dropping moment after another. We chased waterfalls, dodged snowstorms in May (seriously!), made new friends over bingo and tacos, and marveled at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.Top it off with huckleberry chocolates, and crystal-clear lakes — we had a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

From Texas Storms to Colorado SnowcapsJoin us as we kick off our journey to Granby, Colorado! We faced torrential weather in Post, Texas, then made overnight stops at Twin Pine RV Park in Slaton and Coyote Keeth's in Clayton, NM—where the sunshine was a welcome sight. Along the way, we passed Capulin Volcano, crossed the breathtaking Berthoud Pass, and tackled a tricky detour through winding mountain roads.In Granby, we stayed at Sun Outdoors with gorgeous views, spacious sites, and great amenities. We explored Lake Granby, Grand Lake, and nearby towns like Winter Park and Steamboat Springs—enjoying delicious meals, scenic drives, and even a snowy surprise. A visit to Rocky Mountain National Park capped off the week before we continued our adventure north to Wyoming.

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 hit the road again!

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

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. Special thanks to the angels who saved me—you gave me a second chance to chase life's adventures. Here's to heartbeats, heroes, and the beauty of living.

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

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 Lake Havasu!

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 with a day trip to Boothill and Tombstone.  Loving every bit of this Arizona sunshine! Check out our video for highlights from the journey.

Join us this week as we share our exciting 4th of July adventure at Gulf Waters RV Resort in beautiful Port Aransas, Texas. From picturesque pond views at our RV spot to savoring exquisite seafood with a French twist at the YardArm Restaurant in Corpus Christi, our journey was so much fun. From a distance in Corpus, we saw the amazing USS Lexington and paid homage at the Selena Memorial, surrounded by the vibrant marina. We took in the lively beach scene of Port Aransas, where we also enjoyed the best of coastal dining at The Black Marlin and indulged in a unique sundae at Taiyaki Ice Cream. We capped off our visit with fireworks at Robert's Point Park and soaked in the beauty of the Gulf Coast with a morning bike ride. Despite a sudden evacuation due to Hurricane Beryl, our time in Port Aransas left us longing for more. Whether you're a history buff, food enthusiast, or beach lover, Port Aransas offers something special for everyone. When you watch this video, you'll see what I mean!

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 CBD Black Cherry Sparkling Water and lovely smelling lavender deodorant. As we drove back to New Braunfels, our hearts were full from savoring Texas's finest BBQ, my favorite, and discovering lavender treasures.

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 night at the dealership and enjoyed a lovely dinner in Lincoln, Nebraska. The next day, we began our journey back to San Antonio in our new motor home, filled with joy as we explored our new space and started making it our own. The scenic views and excitement of this new chapter made the journey unforgettable. We can't wait to share more stories and adventures as we embrace full-time RV living. Stay tuned! Cheers, Bonnie and Alan
