Babcock State Park, WV

July 5, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

I have really been wanting to go camping lately.  I love camping.  Unfortunately, the other members of my family aren’t feeling right now- especially with this’heat wave’. Yep, it’s summer here in West Virginia.  It’s in the 90s this week with a ‘real feel’ over 100.  So, no one wants to camp (even though it … [Read more…]

West Virginia Love

May 27, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

I think I’m falling in love with West Virginia. I work the last three days (my 12-hour shifts) and every morning I get to see the mountains on the way to work.  When I complete my work day and head back home I get to see the mountains on my drive.  When I look out … [Read more…]

Pros and Cons of RV Living

May 15, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

  I’m no expert at living in an RV, but I did live in our RV for most of 2017 with a husband, two kids, a dog and a turtle, so I feel I am equipped to talk a bit on the subject. We own a 2012 32 foot bunkhouse Coachman Freelander.  It is a … [Read more…]

What the Travel Life Looks Like for Our Family

May 10, 2018 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

When I meet people and they find out that I’m a travel nurse, traveling with my family,  they have two main questions.  What does your husband do, is he a nurse, too? And,  what do you do about school for your kids.  I’d say those are two very natural questions and I never have any … [Read more…]

Good Morning from West Virginia!

May 9, 2018 by JessicaKrauel 2 Comments

Well, we made it to West Virginia yesterday evening.  Our trip was pretty uneventful.  We finished packing up the last minute things (refrigerated food, bedding, etc.) in the U-Haul trailer and made it on the road around 9:00 am.  I have pretty much given up on trying to head out early at this point because … [Read more…]

Welcome to Stockton

August 14, 2017 by JessicaKrauel Leave a Comment

Well, today is our second full day in Stockton.  I would say that it is way too early to have a full formed opinion of the place.  This is my fifth travel nursing assignment and I have definitely learned that places tend to grown on you and a lot of time first opinions are not … [Read more…]

Our first Nascar race We met a couple in our RV park. They are what are called ‘Full timers’, they live in their RV full time.
