Chronicling the adventures of an elite experiential marketing team. From the nine years on the road to new adventures in Portland, OR. We are the Roving Van Gelders and we can’t wait to see you down the road.
Soon after taking this job we passed by a park that was full of tanks, helicopters and bunkers. While going by at 60 mph I didn’t really see what it was but knew that it looked fun. Last week we were taking an exit to our hotel when lo and behold there it was, The... Continue Reading →
On our first visit to Boston we walked our tour and decided not to push on to see that USS Constitution but regretted it. That trip was a sore spot for some time and not getting to experience this was disheartening. Josh's parents had made the tour years before and raved about the ship and... Continue Reading →
Boston was good to us this time, our last visit was not so great. Boston actually was on our worst list. The cost of being here has not gone down but at least this time we had some fun. After leaving Concord we moved a bit closer to the city and made a plan for... Continue Reading →
I met back up with Josh in Boston earlier this week where we spent the first part out in the Concord area. It was a very nice welcome back staying at the Concord Colonial Inn right in the middle of the historic downtown. We usually stick to chain hotels to earn points but this looked... Continue Reading →

Full of fountains, art and open fields it's easy to find a spot of peacefulness in the city. The Lincoln Monument is located in the newer section... Continue Reading →

I hadn't really read much about it before going but did notice that they were hosting an exhibit called Pirates. So I was in. You all know that Josh and I hit a... Continue Reading →

It sounds like dad's accident might have been worse than we first spoke about. He likely rolled end over end... Continue Reading →
This will be the last Randy dedicated post I do. His progress is steady and with Physical Therapy starting there is little to report. We don't know when he will be released from the hospital but that will be followed with some days of in home care, we are told that for each day a... Continue Reading →
I apologize for not posting yesterday, it was a very long day but a good one. I didn't mean to worry anyone, I have great news. Yesterday brought with it the arrival of Zach and Jill from Nebraska, as well as a trip out of bed. We had another day of discomfort and restlessness but... Continue Reading →
Today was a rough day around here, until now. Dad had a terrible night, he was nauseous and got sick multiple times. Each time the would vomit it hurts him. On morning rounds the Doctors were happy to hear about the vomiting, this is a very typical symptom after a trauma like his. So that... Continue Reading →
