Paleo travel foods!
[wp_ad_camp_2] Paleo Travel FoodsWe travel a lot! See HappilyUprooted.com. One of the struggles we have is eating healthy Paleo foods while driving 12 hours across the country. This is what I packed and it worked great to curb hunger and allow me to munch on something while driving. Want to lose weight? Follow me on my weight loss journey! Check out my ABOUT ME page!

Cheyenne Botanic Gardens Cheyenne, Wyoming
a style=”text-align: center;” href=”http://happilyuprooted.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DSC_0251.jpg”> Number one on our Cheyenne, Wyoming Bucket List is the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens! The boys and I decided to check it out while Patrick was at work. The gardens were beautiful and well kept, but what the kids REALLY loved was the Paul Smith Children’s Village. As we entered the children’s village we were met with blooming flower, plant, and vegetable gardens! The three-quarter acre piece of land was jam-packed with interactive things for children to do! The 1930’s era building located in the rear of the gardens has an old rock wall attached to it that forms the “secret garden”. Even as an adult it felt…

Cheyenne, Wyoming Bucket List
Yesterday the boys and I look a little 20 minute trip to the Wyoming Visitors Center to get some ideas about what to do in Cheyenne while we are here! What we found was quite the surprise! The visitors center was so nice! Not only did it have the typical brochures and books of places to see and things to do, but it also had a walk through history of Wyoming! This included a lot of informational push button displays, art installations, an unearthed dinosaur skeleton AND a jail cell with an escape hatch that led to a slide! The kids LOVED it and it made learning about Wyoming fun!…

Update and de-clutter of the boys’ room!
We couldn’t take it anymore! The shoes, the clothes, the toys! We had way to much of all of it! Living in an RV you have to constantly be pruning your collection of “things”. We spent almost the whole day donating, cleaning, repairing, and trashing a lot of “STUFF” in the kids’ room! Now it is much easier to find the toys, clothes, and shoes they are looking for! It feels and looks much better and is easier for the kids to clean themselves! It’s a win/win! (you can click to enlarge) We had also collected a HUGE collection of books from various trips to thrift stores and garage sales.…

Headed north to Wyoming!
We had (thankfully) an uneventful, safe trip to Wyoming! After Duck Dynasty we headed north through Arkansas and then Missouri. From southern Missouri we headed west to our favorite little overnight RV spot in Kansas! We love finding these little hidden RV overnight spots! In this case the one in Parsons is only $5.00 a night with electric and water hookups! It is right in Marvel City Park and next door to the baseball fields and dog parks. There is also a tornado shelter… it is Kansas after all! Next we continued northwest through Kansas and came across another CHEAP place to stay overnight! Hill City is a TINY Kansas…

State 30: Louisiana AND Duck Dynasty!
We made it to state 30: Louisiana! We wanted to stop by the Duck Commander in West Monroe, Louisiana. We pulled in around dark and stayed the night at a campground 5 miles from Duck Dynasty Duck Commander headquarters! We got up in the morning and went and had breakfast and on to the Duck Commander warehouse! The Duckmen weren’t there as it was the season premier of Duck Dynasty season 4 and the whole family was in New York! I was a little sad because I had my heart set on meeting Si! 🙂 There wasn’t really much to the “tour”. There was really just a souvenir shop, the…

New Jersey and The Jersey Shore!
Our time in New Jersey may have been shorter than we expected, but we really enjoyed our time there! We were about 18 minutes from the beach and spent lots of time playing in the ocean! The boys loved the water and even though it was freezing cold they would body board and come out shivering, warm up and go back in! When we first got to New Jersey this Texas family felt a little out of place! People were short with words and not very friendly… well, not in a Texas friendly kind of way. At first I thought they were just rude, but turns out people in New…

Our drive from Texas to New Jersey!
Our drive from Texas to Virginia summed up in one word: exhausting! 🙂 We drove 12 hour days, in the pouring rain the first two days. And the next two days we meandered the remaining 6 hours. The drive was beautiful! I had no idea Virginia and Maryland were so pretty! We boon-docked (parked to sleep without electric, water or sewer) for the night outside of Lynchburg, Virginia on the second night! We found this spot because a very generous person on the Fulltime Rv’ing Facebook page offered his land for anyone passing through! It just so happened that we were passing through there the day after he posted his…
