Waters Edge brought us great food, big bingo wins, a fun pool, and an amazing weekend!

An amazing long weekend in Ocean City, NJ! We came, we saw, and we conquered! From the boardwalk, to the beach, and even Cape May and the campground pool too!

Fun fact: Daniel spent many summers here and has always loved it! DJ is in training to do the same!

📍 Whippoorwill Campground
810 S Shore Rd, Marmora, NJ 08223, United States - Great location, and amazing amenities!

Add another trip to the books! We all loved Sun Retreats Wild Acres in Old Orchard Beach, ME! It was perfectly located and had great amenities! We will be back!

Meet our newest camper this season! DJ joined our family on 9/30/25 and can’t wait to go on many camping adventures this summer.

As we’ve settled in from coming home and heading back to work, we wanted to share the list below of notes we compiled during the trip.

1. Get the extra sewer hose. It’s worth it.

2. Daniel will teach our son to drive.

3. Get gas, even if you don’t need it. And use the bathroom while you’re at it.

4. Some of us are afraid of bridges, others are scared of mountains. Either way, we do it together.

5. Always check your route to make sure the GPS isn’t sending 53’ of length through a national park with switchback mountains.

6. When signs are on the side of a bottom of a hill warning about overheating, prepare for the worst.

7. There is never enough tape. Any size, any type, any shape. Never enough.

8. Snacks. Always pack snacks.

9. The back up camera saves more than just the camper, turns out it’s actually really good for your marriage.

10. The license plate game is a MUST. (For everyone wondering - we completed the license plate game in its entirety with 2:48 left of the trip!!)

11. Always double check that you booked full hook ups before planning to dump at the next stop.

12. Sand storms sound a LOT like water hitting the side of your camper. When you go outside to look, don’t open your mouth.

13. Any state highway that doesn’t end in “highway” usually means to brace for driving. For example: pass, throughway, path, tunnels etc.

14. When checking into a campground and they ask if you need water, they’re not asking about water bottles. They’re asking if your holding tank is full.

15. For less than 5 hours of driving, add one hour for pit stops, after 5 hours and less than 10 hours add 2 hours, and more than 10 hours is just too much.

16. Do not turn on the wipers as soon as a bird poops or a bug splats on your windshield.

17. Sign up for the gas station rewards program- it makes you feel a little bit better about how much you’re filling up.

Day twenty two brought us home sweet home! Our golden girl was thrilled to see us, and our home was nice and clean (Thank you, Mem!). In total, our trip was 9,238 miles, nearly 195 hours of driving, 1,135 gallons of gas, and countless memories made! Thank you all for following along our journey, commenting on our posts, for the texts and calls along the way, and making sure we stayed safe every leg of the trip! It truly was a trip of a lifetime and we loved every bit of it.

Day twenty one brought us through four states and some traffic to PA! We stayed our last night at a very nice KOA, and had an amazing dinner with Daniels aunt and uncle! Once again, a wonderful opportunity to catch up with family we don’t always see! Now for the trek back home!

Day twenty began our big journey back east! We drove on I-90 for 550 miles through Minnesota and into Wisconsin! We were very happy to break up the driving by visiting with Gina’s cousins Megan and Chance! This trip has been such a nice opportunity to catch up with family we haven’t seen in awhile or wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to see! We also tested out our mini washing machine and were super impressed with its speed and effectiveness!

Day nineteen brought us to Badlands! We woke up bright and early for the long drive and arrived at the park just in time to set up our campsite and enjoy the views in our chairs…that was until one of our neighbors a few sites down found a snake. Daniel does a LOT of things, but snakes are not in the cards! Regardless, we enjoyed a relaxing night staying right in the park with a peaceful view and breeze! Thank you Lauren Musinski for our fun mat that made our site nice and cozy!
