My husband, Rusty, and I hate to plan anything! The only time we plan is when we know that we have to do something at a certain time in order to do it. Living here in Germany requires a bit more planning, like our week in Spain had to be booked a couple of months in advance, but a weekend in Paris only a week in advance. We have, however, learned that we enjoy our vacations and weekend getaways much more when we don't plan them. Our lack of planning allows us to enjoy things spontaneously, oh look, a water park! Wanna go? Sure! Ya know, that kind of thing. I used to over plan but I learned the hard way that planning can be a recipe for disaster. But I guess that is a story for another time. I love your pics, and the video is fabulous. Noell, I am right there with you! My husband, Rusty, and I hate to plan anything!

We'd have the final destination planned (say, Yellowstone Park), we'd start driving, and about 3:30pm while Dad was driving the RV, Mom would be scanning the campground books for a high rated one near the exit Dad felt was a good "stopping point" for the night. That's kicking it old school, 1980s style. But me...I have to plan. EVERYTHING. I was teased for my spreadsheets of baby-prep. I was teased for my project plan for my wedding. I'm getting teased because I have my Christmas shopping spreadsheet in progress. (I'm 5% done with my shopping, which means I've bought 1 gift.) I love planning. So that is why the gassy 1 month old baby girl crying in the other room with her dad is NOT making me happy. Gassy craying baby was NOT in my plans for this evening. But I'm having to roll with it. That's what Daddy is for. :) This reminds me of vacations when I was a kid.

I love that you guys don't plan everything and live on the fly. I try to be organized but usually fail to get it all together. We have much more fun when my husband wakes me on Saturday morning and says"what do you want to do today?" and we just go for it! Great post!

I was reading this post about not having TV and I felt so much better to know there are others out there just like my family. We have 4 kids, 3 under 3 and we just didn't have time to watch TV. We got rid of TV in Jan of this year. My oldest daughter took the biggest hit she is unfortunately a couch potato. My lil ones don't care much for TV. My son (3) likes a select few movies that he can watch on Netflix and that is all my husband and I watch. I am so happy with my decision to not have TV. Whenever I go to the gym I watch some TV, more so just look at it while I listen to my music but I am constantly disappointed at what is on, reruns or just boring crap. LOL! That is so awesome you have been without it for so long. I hope to continue down that same road. Great blog! I found your blog through Kristin Werner and appearing on your podcast, super cool.
