In our previous installment on bus automation, we had figured out how we were going to dim and control our lights using the ESP32 processors and some MOSFET boards we sourced from Amazon. We couldn't really use anything "off the shelf" (designed for home use at 120V AC) because we
We were all so excited to make it to Washington DC. We knew we wanted to spend quite a bit of time there, exploring as much as possible. In total, we spent nine days exploring the area over our 16-day stay, and we loved it! In this first part, we
One of the most common questions we receive is, “How are your solar and batteries working out now that you are traveling?” They worked awesome when we were doing our build in the middle of the desert in the Phoenix area. Traveling is different though. There are many more variables

On our third day exploring Philadelphia, we packed in as much of the Old City as we could. We started the day by raising the American flag and ended the day where the founding fathers created and
There is so much to see and do in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, we felt like we barely scratched the surface. We had three days to really explore, so we had to pick and choose which places to visit. We packed in as much as we could and had
While most of our travels will take us to historic sites, museums, and national parks, when there is a fun amusement park nearby, why not throw that into the mix? Juan has memories of visiting Hershey Park as a kid with his family, so we decided to take the kids
Back in 2015 when we first had the idea to start traveling full-time, our main inspiration was to visit as many historic sites as possible to enhance our children’s education. That vision has grown and expanded in the years since, but historic sites have remained a top priority. What

Welcome. We have missed you! We have had such a great time traveling these past nine months, and we cannot wait to finally start sharing all of our adventures with you. In the video below, we are sharing what we have been up to, why we needed to
We pick up where we left off last time in Terre Haute, Indiana. We will end up in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Along the way, we spent two nights at Harvest Hosts - a climbing gym and a farm. We also stopped at the Flight 93 Memorial, which was beautiful and moving.
After four days of driving, we had made it to Keystone State Lake Park near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Here, we spent the workweek mostly working but making a bit of time for fun. Then, we headed back out for another weekend of driving as we inched our way to Pennsylvania. We
Finally, we were down to the last few finishing touches in the bathroom to call it done. Before we moved on, however, we needed to test the plumbing to check for leaks and also to see how the tankless water heater and recirculation valve would work. Then, we finally were
After leaving our friends @tinyshinyhome in southern Arizona, it was time to start making our way to the east coast. We knew from the very beginning of planning this lifestyle that seeing American history come to life was at the top of our list. While there are plenty of historical
The time had come to grout the penny tile and install the fixtures in the shower. We chose Ardex FL grout in the color Fresh Lily. The “FL” is their flexible grout, so we are hoping it holds up really well. We got great feedback from Justin over at Gilligan
