When you travel in an RV and you’re with your spouse 24/7 it’s really hard to plan a great surprise for their birthday. This was the case this year as I tried to plan something great from Lynn’s birthday. We’d just gotten back from our trek to Iowa, to Ohio and back to Iowa and neither of us wanted to head out on another long trip.

But with the Ekko sitting in the driveway it was just too tempting. But getting Lynn to say what would make her happy and be special was hard too because… well… we were both just a little road weary from the last trip. What we ended up doing was one of our most fun packed short trips in years as we headed to Johnson City, TN to go to a concert, camp by a river and griddle up birthday pancakes.
