Camping on the Gulf
We stayed at Camping on the Gulf during our visit to Miramar Beach and the Emerald Coast. It really is a beautiful campground—there’s nothing quite like having your toes in the sand just steps...
Life on the road. Told one campground, one meal, and one adventure at a time.
Hi, we’re Barbie & Johnny! Our journey started long before retirement — from a tent to a pop-up to couple of fifth wheels, camping has always been a part of our life together. Now, with 30+ years at NASA behind us, we’ve set out on our greatest adventure yet. Join us as we explore the country in our 5th wheel, chasing flip-flop weather, making memories, and writing the next chapter of our story. Welcome to our travel blog!

Bar Harbor / Oceanside KOA
Staying at the Bar Harbor / Oceanside KOA was such a memorable part of our Acadia trip. From our camper we had beautiful views of the water, the kind that made mornings feel calm...
Huc-A-Poo’s Bites & Booze
When we visited Savannah, we stayed at the campground on Tybee Island. Tybee is such a charming little island—small, walkable, and with a laid-back, grown-up vibe that made it perfect for us. We parked...
Jekyll Island
Looking back, I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate turning 50 than the trip Johnny planned to Jekyll Island. Instead of bringing the camper that first time, he made reservations to go glamping...
