Category: Empty Nest Adventure


  • We were finally on this big Empty Nest Adventure, and our first stop was a place we didn’t even know about! We had done some research on places in the Netherlands, but we never thought we would spend the whole first month there. We planned to head south and west, hitting Belgium and then Luxembourg…

  • First off, just want to let everyone know that we use an App called Park4Night. This app looks up places to camp and to park for the night. What is the difference? Camping is what you think it is, a campground provides a site, called a pitch over here in Europe, might have some extras…

  • By the first weekend in The Netherlands, we had realized we had crammed a lot of stuff in this little camper, and where we were putting may have not been the best idea. So, we decided to take the weekend off, and relax a bit, and work through some of our set up. We also…

  • Yesterday was all about Kasey wearing herself out in the second largest IKEA. Today, Rodney gets to go shopping – Motorcycle Shopping!

  • We had uncrossed our fingers a few weeks ago. The sale of our home was contingent on the buyers selling their home, and a few weeks they asked for an extension on our selling agreement. We had already lost a month and half of prime summer market time, and they were not getting a lot…

  • So, with it looking like the offer we accepted on our current big nest looking like it is not going to completion, Kasey was getting a little restless with our European Plans being put on hold. Sunday was also her birthday, so we headed to her favorite place – The Beach. The beach that would…
