Spent our second night at Paper Moon Vineyards, wh Spent our second night at Paper Moon Vineyards, which we booked at the last minute through @harvesthosts. Got in late, but made the most of a beautiful morning, playing soccer and pedaling between rows of grapevines with the delightful RV family @greenbeanroadschool, who is spending a year traveling around the country with their three kids. (Thanks again for all the Colorado tips!) #ohio #vanlife #familytravel #egretthevan #earlymornings #crosscountryroadtrip #morecoffeeplease
In Cleveland. Remy took his new @spawncycles bike In Cleveland. Remy took his new @spawncycles bike for a spin at the world’s first indoor bike park. We had more driving to do, but we couldn’t get him to leave the pump track! Not that @ecniv was complaining. 😅 #raysindoorbikepark #cleveland #bikingadventures #crosscountryroadtrip #vanlife #familytravel
We took a 30-minute detour to @sawhorsecafe, one o We took a 30-minute detour to @sawhorsecafe, one of a few Black-owned restaurants I could find near our route between Beacon and Cleveland. The side trip to Williamsport, PA was worth it for the breakfast sandwich and French toast topped with tart lemon curd drizzle, buttery vanilla crumbles and local blueberries. Also picked up a bag of their house roasted La Morena beans to make pour-over coffee. While waiting for the food, I chatted with barista Petrina Mazzeo, who said the town recently elected its first Black mayor and that a Facebook group called The Anti-Racism Movement started here last summer after a neo-Nazi rally terrorized the community. The mayor had denied the demonstration request by white supremacists, but they came out with guns blazing anyway. #foodforthought #supportblackownedbusinesses #crosscountryroadtrip #vanlife
The first night of our journey, we had a picnic di The first night of our journey, we had a picnic dinner amidst fireflies and wildflowers on the train tracks in Beacon, NY. We thought we’d make it a little farther from home, but luckily you can stealth camp in town without a permit if it’s just for one night. The superb oat milk latte @traxcoffeeroasters the next morning was just what I needed before the long drive to Ohio. #vanlife #beaconny #egretthevan #familytravel #crosscountryroadtrip
On the road again, this time heading cross-country On the road again, this time heading cross-country to Los Angeles! The exact route is still a mystery, but there will be lots of national parks, indie coffee shops and general two-wheeled tomfoolery. I swear the kids are as stoked as we are for this campervan adventure. 😂🚐✨ #roadtrip #fordtransitcamper #egretthevan #familytravel #vanlife

After 10 years of marriage, 6 NYC apartments, a bu After 10 years of marriage, 6 NYC apartments, a bungalow in San Francisco, two kids, and the sale of a company that nearly killed us, @ecniv and I just bought our first home! It feels not quite real yet, but we celebrated Remy’s 5th birthday yesterday—our first day in the house!—and after he blew out the candles, he whispered to me that this new home was his wish come true. 😭🥳 #firsthome #lakelife #ridgefieldct #comevisitsoon
