Yosemite National Park, CA – Days 21, 22, & 23

We woke up in Yosemite to the sounds of the campground rising to make breakfast and packing up for the day’s adventures. The sites at Upper Pines Campground are packed in rather tight, so there is no escaping being a part of the community in some way. I can see why quiet hours are so…

Rocky Mountain National Park – Days 9, 10, 11, & 12

June 26: The Govnabile finally pulled into Moraine Park campground in the Rocky Mountains an hour or so before sunset. Just enough time to get the RV freshwater tank filled with water, pick up some firewood, take the bikes off the Govnabile (the new Pilot name, thanks Pops!), unhook, and finally level the trailer before…

Colorado Springs & Denver, CO – Days 7 & 8

Tuesday morning, June 25, our goal was to wake up early and set off for Denver by 9am. As we have quickly been learning, it takes twice as long as we expect to pack up camp (and I also move at a negative speed before I have coffee in the am). Today, I was feeling…

Great Sand Dunes National Park – Days 4, 5, & 6

On June 22nd, we set out for our 7 hour drive to Colorado early AM. The ride was pretty boring, flat, and uneventful with the exception of stopping in the town of Colby, KS which was in Thomas county. Since this is ironically my brother’s name, we had to stop at the visitor’s center and…

Mammoth Cave, KY & St. Louis, MO – Days 2 & 3

It’s now been 3 days of RVmooning but it feels like it’s been 2 weeks and we’re already halfway across the country (about 1500 miles)!  It stopped raining just in time for us to pull into our campsite at Mammoth Cave Campground. Chris only had to drive around the campground circle 3 times before he…

And So the Adventure Begins – Day 1

Well, we did it! We got married and set out on our journey of a lifetime! Our wedding weekend was incredible – a special shout out to our friends and family who worked so hard, making it a beautiful time, and many thanks to all who attended the festivities! We feel like the day flew…

The Guvna’ Goes Cross Country

First things first, just to clear up our use of “The Governor”, we are referencing a nickname we were given as a couple when Chris Christie was the governor of NJ. (Not that we endorse Chris Christie in any way.) Now that that’s set straight, welcome to our blog! In the wee hours of the…
