Wheels and Warbles: RV Life with a Texan Songbird and a Cockney

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 Gra...

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...

We left Coarsegold, CA, stopped at Orange Grove RV Park 🍊 for amazing fresh oranges, then headed to Vegas! 🎰 We stayed at Oasis RV Resort near the Strip, explored Fremont Street 🌟, saw the Bellagio fountains 🌈, and enjoyed incredible meals at Mon Ami Gabi 🥖 and Ocean Prime 🥩🦞. We also checked out Silverton’s aquarium 🐠, shopped for winter gear 🛍️, and indulged in crepes 🥞 and macarons 🍪....

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...

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.

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...

We’ve been having a fantastic time in Benson and Tucson, Arizona!
