About Us

-
One night, Jason and I went to dinner and started talking about things we should do, or places we should visit. We haven't seen much of the United States so we decided that we'd love to take our kids on a month long road trip.  I think we both figured that it wasn't going to work out, but you have to dream.  I like to start projects, but Jason almost always has to finish them.  In this case, he started it by getting approval from his work, then I got approval from mine.  Now what?!?!


Where do we go?  How do we get there?  Where do we stay?  We priced out how much it would cost to rent an RV and it was just not going to work!!  If we bought one, we could resell it after the trip... right?  Jason found a 70-ish year old man named Bill on Craigslist.  He was selling exactly the RV that we thought we wanted, and they struck up a bit of an on-line friendship.  We'd occasionally get pictures of Bill on fishing trips and updates about his life.  We decided that we'd better meet Bill and see his RV.  In January 2018, we took a trip to Ephrata, Washington (population 8,000) to look at Bill's 24 foot Class C recreational vehicle.  We brought it home the next day!





Meet the fam.
Jason, April, Alice (8), and Violet (5)

Happy New Year's Eve!! Today we hit up a beach that is very close to the condo, A Bay.  The waves were not great for boogie boarding but Anaeho'omalu Bay was lovely.   Happy New Year from the Schroedsters!  It's 8:45 here and we're headed to bed.

It's Friday night and we still haven't un-packed.  No one wants to get back in the RV.  Plus, I'm not sure I want to wear those clothes anymore anyway.  I love having my own washer/dryer and dish washer.  I made dinner last night with THREE pans.  It was amazing. Jason surprised me today with a spa day.  I think I'll keep him.

The Big Island - Day 3

Kua Bay Day The ladies and I started slow today with a few shows and then decided we wanted to hit the beach.  We made our way to Kua bay for some body boarding and people watching.  The beach was crowded, but the weather was ah-mazing!   Jason was showing off his skills and Alice looks like she's trying out for Bay Watch. For dinner we went to the Lava Lava Beach club and watched the sun set over A Bay.  The girls played ladder golf and learned to hula. Violet has been struggling to eat because of a loose tooth.  She'd finally had it and let Jason pull it while at dinner.  She was SO excited to have it out of the way.  Lost her first tooth on the first of the year.
