Semiserious Chefs

Although I refuse to acknowledge that Cystic Fibrosis runs our life I will quickly admit that it is very seriously A Monkey On Our Back. There are two very true things about living in a small space with CF. (I’m not quite willing to call a fifth-wheel a ‘tiny’ home.) ONE: You have to keep […]

If you’re thinking about learning to speak French – or any other language for that matter; please keep reading because I’m going to share with you a few things I’ve come to understand about learning a different language. You see, I’ve been honing (haha, yeah right) my French for a couple years now by utilizing […]

As I mentioned in my previous blog post about traveling to London England, there are a handful of places we want to see while we are here. And in this blog post I’ll be going over a couple of the first places we visited. First off, let me say that if you plan on doing […]

As some of you might know, Vanessa and I like to whip up something delicious from time to time. Don’t tell her, but I’m the better cook… I’m just kidding of course, but we also enjoy traveling and learning about new cultures. Okay, to be fair Vanessa is more open than I am, but I […]

When Vanessa and I first started tossing around the idea of selling our fourplex and moving across the country, I was basically clueless when it came to RVing. Well, I was clueless about a lot of things (still am), but that’s not important here. I remember when I was 8 or 9 years old, I […]

So I figured it’s about time I finally wrote a post about our travels.

But we’ll figure that out later. I haven’t been able to […]

Driving the Alcan. Or as it’s now known, The Alaska Highway. It’s the long aspiring dream of so many people. Retire and take an RV trip all the way to Alaska. The adventure of a lifetime! But I guess we’re not most people. First, we’re FROM Alaska. Second, I think when most people envision their […]

Having lived in Alaska for most of my life, I hadn’t truly realized just how big and beautiful this place can be. Being around it all the time, dampens one’s senses and lessons the grandeur of what others would be nothing short of amazed by. It finally kind of hit me this last trip that […]

It’s our last day in California and we road trip from Nice through Napa to San Fransisco. I was very excited to find the charcuterie I’d been planning to visit, and we saw the aftermath of this summer’s fires all around us. Perhaps the best part of our whole trip though, we got to meet […]

This day was really chill. We took Nathan fishing in Lakeport and back at the resort in Nice. ‘Fishing.’ Not so much ‘catching.’ We see the great egrets again and some odd looking mallards, and have a great experience at Nice’s North Shore Fire Station, before settling in for a grilled shrimp for dinner. Beautiful […]
