Go, See, Do, Experience!
From our campground in Colonial Beach, VA, we drove about 1.5 hours north to George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Just north of Fredericksburg, where we merged into I-95, was the longest collector road we have seen. Miles. At one point, there are two separate freeways going north and two going south plus a middle freeway that... Continue Reading →
Forecast: cloudy with highs in high 50s. That worked for us for the plans for the day. We headed to Norfolk, VA, to General Douglas MacArthur Memorial. We learned so much about him. He had a real passion for the people of Philippines. He said he would rather give up all the awards and medals... Continue Reading →
Travel Day to Virginia. We headed north from Oregon Inlet Campground in North Carolina, past Kitty Hawk, then over a sound and north again. The mainland has quite a few small farms. The grain is about 2 feet high in a lot of places. We saw farm sheds with smaller tractors, not the big Midwest... Continue Reading →
We headed east from Raleigh to the Outer Banks and Atlantic Ocean coast. We got to Oregon Inlet Campground on the Outer Banks and discovered there are sand dunes behind us, between the campground and the Atlantic Ocean. We quickly got set up and then walked over…or through…the dunes. “Through” because the sand is so... Continue Reading →
As we head out from South Carolina on the Travel Day, we saw there are so many trees along the road - just like Louisiana, Mississippi, etc, that you can’t see anything else. So, they have fun billboard signs. Oh - these signs are so tall they almost give you a neck pain looking so... Continue Reading →
In the middle of the night I had the thought to check out sometime. See, we planned to go to Savannah, Georgia, today (Saturday, March 16) for a day trip. Somewhere I had read about events and it mentioned a St Patrick’s Day parade. Hum, would they have the parade on Saturday or on the... Continue Reading →
We had never heard of this place but just “had” to drive to this National Park, even though it was about 2 hours away. Why? We like to see the National Parks and as a bonus, Kevin likes to get his Passport Book to Your National Parks Explorer Edition book stamped. And a double bonus... Continue Reading →
The drive from Brunswick, Georgia to Yemassee, South Carolina: Everywhere we look we see swamps. Sometimes the land would open up to be a marsh. Saw several rivers, as well. Same as the other south swamp states. Got to The Oaks At Point South Campground, Yemassee, SC, at exactly 1:00 p.m. check in time. The... Continue Reading →
We drove an hour north of our campground in Wauchula, FL to Lake Wales to see Bok Tower Gardens. Larry was there to greet us. We met him at the Association of Late-Deafened Adults convention in 2018. He is a very sweet man and great friend. He has been part of Bok Tower Gardens for... Continue Reading →
Florida’s Natural Visitor Center is in Lake Wales, Florida. The building is built to look like a “cracker” house. We walked in and everything is nice and clean and orderly. The lady at the counter offered a sample of 4 kinds of orange juice and varieties in the foundation. She said there is a video... Continue Reading →
