Welcome Back!

This is 2020.  Last year ended horribly and changed our lives forever, but we are still 4 Carkeets strong and moving forward as best we know how. This started as a way to chronicle our 6 week sabbatical journey in 2018, but we still have the RV and we are still making memories and we invite you to follow along!

About This Site

We were given a great opportunity to take a 6 week road trip in 2018. We bought an RV, packed our bags and hit the road!  After our trip, we went back to reality (reluctantly), but we still have the RV and we still love adventure, so please follow along as we continue to document our rolling travels!

Comments!

We love comments!  If you are following our journey, please feel free to leave us a comment!  I know it asks for your e-mail address and that can be scary, but that information just comes to us and we won’t sell it!

Saturday – Home. ☹

By Tonya Carkeet | October 6, 2018October 7, 2018 by Tonya Carkeet

Today is the day that our trip really does come to an end.  This is a hard day and not one that I have been looking forward to.  Not one member of this family wants to go home.  We took our time packing up, it was obvious that no one wants this trip to end.…

Friday – More Carkeets!

By Tonya Carkeet | October 5, 2018October 7, 2018 by Tonya Carkeet

Once we got set up at the RV park, I fixed us a nice breakfast and then planned to take a shower.  John laid down to take a nap and Trista wanted to shower first, so I sat on the couch to wait and woke up a couple of hours later! We coordinated with John’s…

Thursday – Going through the big D and do mean Dallas

By Tonya Carkeet | October 4, 2018October 7, 2018 by Tonya Carkeet

Today we woke up at Walmart, ate a quick breakfast and got out as soon as we could.  We drove through New Orleans – didn’t get to see the cool parts but got a better understanding of Hurricane Katrina. We were very excited to drive across Lake Pontchartrain!  It’s just one of those things.  The…

Wednesday – All good things must come to an end

By Tonya Carkeet | October 3, 2018October 7, 2018 by Tonya Carkeet

This amazing journey is coming to an end and it is time to make our way back to Colorado.  We woke up, later than we should have, I don’t think any of us want to go.  We started getting ready.  John went down to cash in our last four meals for breakfast.  He came back…

By Tonya Carkeet | October 2, 2018October 8, 2018 by Tonya Carkeet

Last night I made a list of all of the things we still wanted to do, studied the map, and hatched a plan. Armed with our checklist, fast passes booked and a lunch reservation, we set out for Magic Kingdom, Day 2.  Here is a picture that I took later in the day. As we…

Monday – Magic Kingdom I

By Tonya Carkeet | October 1, 2018October 7, 2018 by Tonya Carkeet

We headed out this morning and planned to have a quick service breakfast in the park.  I found a place that said they had quick service breakfast, but when we got there, they said they did, but you have to have reservations.  There were no other places in the park to have breakfast, apparently, and…
