Welcome Dinner

​The caravan was supposed to start off with a bang - and a welcome dinner. The first night we arrived we had some culture shock and started to get used to the way Mexican campgrounds are set up - water that isn’t safe to drink, unreliable electricity and sketchy dump stations for the most part. To top it all off, the leader of the caravan company told us that he wanted to delay our welcome dinner because our first stop did not have a suitable location to host us. Needless to say, that night was disappointing because we had dumped most of our food in preparation for crossing the border, we were stressed from driving in unfamiliar territory and we were just generally exhausted. 


Tonight was the redemptive Welcome dinner in Mazatlan.  We loaded up in Pulmonías and went to one of the best restaurants in town. Each of us could order all of the food and drinks we wanted and they had a mariachi band and passed roses out to the ladies. Pradit ordered a meat platter for two and spent the whole evening finishing it. 



It was a bonding evening for the group and we all sang and danced and had a great time. Tomorrow is our last full day in Mazatlan.

    Pradit's class want's to know if you would give the restaurant 5 stars? Was Pradit able to finish his meal?

New Adventures in White Shadow

  We’ve hit a new season of life!  Camping with Charlie changed the game for us and we didn’t really have a great sleeping option for him.  Couple that with three teenagers and our amazing 30’ Airstream simply became too small for a family of 6 plus a golden retriever and two cats. So we’ve moved on to a new brand. 😭  Our Airstreaming days were some of the most magical adventures of our lives.  We are no longer nearly as nimble as we once were - but I know our adventures will be just as grand.   Today we woke up early and got the house buttoned up to rent for the summer.  We parked all of our cars at the farm and hitched up the new beast.  I think we’ve named her “White Shadow” - it’s part of scene from the movie “Turbo”.   In typical Robertson fashion, our road trip is a bit ambitious - but should be amazing. We drop Jude off at summer camp in Black Mountain, NC tomorrow morning for three weeks and then start heading west.   Thanks for...

A night in Asheville

  We pulled into our site in Asheville (Asheville West KOA) and got all parked and set up.  I made pizzas in the oven and we popped pop corn and watched Turbo in honor of White Shadow gaining her name.  Charlie’s favorite stop is the recliner or Lucy’s top bunk.  It just started raining and we’re cozy and settled in for the evening!  Tomorrow is a big day for Jude!  Thanks for following along.

frame off!

​ Stu and Dustin got the shell off and then cleaned off the frame. The condition was quite rough so now it’s off to a welding shop to get it repaired. Before Stu dropped it off, they cut the plywood for the subfloor.  We visited a flooring shop today to start to get a design palette together for the overall look. The frame repair should take about two weeks. A little progress day by day!   Choices, choices!
