Posted by Butterfingers on 6/2/22 at 5:05 pm

We did the 16 day trip with my 3 kids back in 2014. Kids were 11,10, 7. They are good car travelers so that is a must. We tent camped 10/14 night I believe. Put 5500 miles on the car. Started in Houston and drove overnight to Durango. Stayed there for 4 nights in two different campgrounds. Drove...

I can’t recommend Breckenridge more for this trip. Have been there many times with our kids and all the other places mentioned as well. They are all beautiful, but Breck is set up perfectly. So much to do. Walk to town and eat and drink daily. Rent bikes and ride path to Frisco, hiking trails, pe...

re: Anyone live in the Kingwood TX area and can give me some insight on the elementary school

I know a couple families that send their kids to st Martha’s and it is highly thought of, however, I didn’t see the need to spend the money when the public schools are as highly rated as they are. ...

I have lived in Kingwood for 15 years and all three of my kids have gone through the public schools. They are highly rated ( some more highly rated than others) I believe you would be very happy with the school system. I have a senior and a sophomore in high school and one in middle school now.

Posted by Butterfingers on 9/3/19 at 2:48 pm

It’s an all gravel lot. I have been there once when it was wet and other than puddles in low spots it wasn’t muddy. You will get chalky white dust on everything if it is super dry. A majority of the tailgaters are in the lot all day so there is a good atmosphere. I fill up at loves coming in from ...

re: El Dorado Royale - Riviera Maya, Mexico

Posted by Butterfingers on 4/25/17 at 10:25 am

El dorado is a big place. Very nice grounds and typical food and drink selections for all inclusives. Beach is ok but like several other resorts along this section they have these massive concrete sand bag looking things out in the water to help with beach erosion. It makes it difficult to really s...

Did this trip with 5 other couples 7-8 years ago. Best vacation of our lives. We had 2-3 people that were very concerned about getting seasick and said they get sick easily. We had two boats a 50 foot cat (the swish)and a 72 foot monohull (sublime). Both boats were staffed with a husband wife team t...

Wife and I went 5 or so years ago. Weather can be hit or miss in early June. We got a couple days of perfect weather and a couple days of 38 degrees and rainy. There is plenty to do even though many of the trails still have snow. Bow river valley is beautiful and took the gondola up to the peak a...

Thanks for the info. We are planning on taking our kids to the game and was hoping it was a relatively fun experience to tailgate with our RV. We don't get to take the kids to games in tiger stadium during the fall very often because of all of their weekend sports activities etc. I was hopeful we ...

Purchased a travel trailer this year and was curious what your experiences have been in the RV lot for bowl games. Good crowd or lame? Also any experience with Camping world stadium. Is this a decent place to tailgate overnight or should I make alternate plans that don't include the trailer? TIA...
