American Pigeon Museum




Did you know that there is an entire museum devoted to pigeons?  Practically across the street from the campground is the “American Pigeon Museum and Library”.  That was our first planned stop for the day until I plugged it into GPS and found they didn’t open until 1 pm.  



We pivoted and checked out the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.  The grounds were beautiful and Charlie loved the playground.  We had a quick lunch and headed back to the campground.  When we pulled in, Charlie was quick to remember the Pigeon Museum which had opened moments before.  I drove him over and we saw live pigeons and he made a pigeon tag bracelet and I found a great T-shirt.  It was an unexpected fun spot.

    I love that Charlie asked to go back to the Pigeon Museum! Ahsan Iqbal’s catamaran had a pigeon land exhausted on it. They researched nuts/seeds/how to nourish their visitor. She had flown over 600 miles. She was banded by a club in Oklahoma !! She was an endearing visitor but when the lure of the land called like a week later she left.

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!
