It's how long till we leave?!

By -
Wow! How time flies! The Allwine clan has been busy the past few weeks and have completely forgotten to update the 'ol blog!

We are now within 3 weeks of venturing out into the world in the Jeep. Preparations on the Wrangler with quite a few projects done. One of the most important things was getting the Jeep inspected. It turns out I had a leaky rear shock and had to make a quick swap to pass PA inspection. So with the help of my handy father, we replaced both rear shocks and the rear brake pads (for good measure) in about an hour! I think that may be a personal record for both of us! I have also changed the oil, rotated the tires and checked all the mechanical systems. So now I just need to get the cargo portion of the preparation ready.

Since the last post on here, I have made some headway on a few projects:
- Wiring for the fridge
- Installation and wiring of the air compressor
- Wiring for the roof rack lights
- Added some additional LEDs inside for night vision (done)
- Added 12V outlet in the back seat for the kiddo's entertainment "Schtuff".
- Painted and installed the navigation computer brackets
- Started work on switch panel for dash
- Installed a higher strength steering stabilizer

With all of that done, there is much more to do:
- Finish the switch control panel
- build and install a storage drawer for tools and vehicle support equipment
- build and install the refrigerator slider and cage
- figure out how to pack everything

So, between now and July 31, I will no longer be sleeping...

Stick to the plan man!

Well, the planning and preparation continues. As I write this, we are just shy of 8 weeks from leaving for the big summer trip. Work on the Wrangler slowly moves forward (I love waiting for paint to dry…). Currently I am working on getting all of the electrical work done. This involves wiring up all the new switches, relays, air compressor, refrigerator, extra 12Vdc outlets (mobile tv/dvd player for Lex) and a few other odds and ends. I also just finished the fabrication work for the navigation computer (netbook pc). Everything is coming along quite well. I don’t feel the rush of getting it done quite yet. 8 weeks is plenty of time…right? It is time for us to start booking our stays at some of the campgrounds. Especially for the Outer Banks! We need to start looking a ferry schedules to so we can get around smoothly. I am curious for anyone that may be reading this to hear of some of your favorite spots or things to see on the east coast. We are always looking for ideas!...

Only 940 Saturdays...

That's right, you only have Nine hundred and forty Saturdays from the day your child is born until they are 18.  Of those 940 Saturdays, 260 of them are already gone by the time your child is 5 years old.  Rather sobering fact if you ask me... As a father of 2 daughters, that means I only have 341 left with my 11 year old and 680 left with my 5 year old. This fall, we have begun to focus more on experiences with our daughters.  In the last month, we have visited a major city each weekend; New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington D.C.  During these trips, we would try to tie in an education aspect to the weekend.  Two of those weekends were tied to Maker Faire attendance which focus on STEM and STEAM education. I want to show my girls that there is much more to this world than iPads, iPhones, YouTube and Roblox.   Whether that means exploring the back country in a national forest or finding that great burger joint in the Upper Wes...

A Blog for what?

By -
Well, here is our first post on what will be a place to record our family's travels and adventures. We will post pictures of where we have been, talk about what we have seen and done, as well as the mistakes we have made (we all know that our family doesn't make any). The big trip that we are planning for is a three week traveling adventure in August. The preliminary plan to to travel South along the Atlantic coast starting in New Jersey and stopping in Myrtle Beach, SC. The route home will take us through the winding roads of the Appalachian mountains on the famed Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive. We will be doing all of this in our trusty Jeep 4-door Wrangler. We will be tent camping most of the time except for the occasional stay at a hotel on a rainy night. We will also share our accounts of smaller camping trips as well as weekend get aways at Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland. We will share our tips and secrets about some great places to stay and eat at Deep ...
