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 →
Raleigh, North Carolina To Catch Up With Friends
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 →
Visiting Savannah, GA, A Day Later Than Planned
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.

We Watched TV & Decided To Go There! HA
How do we pick where to travel? Funny story: we picked this next place after we watched The History Channel about huge bridges. We learned about a bridge that is the longest bridge over water in the whole world - 23.85 miles. It is over Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, from New Orleans to Mandeville. We wanted...

It has been going for 63 years. The workers and volunteers all wear period costumes. Kevin grew... Continue Reading →
Wonderful Week Visiting Family in Missouri
Broken kitchen slide! We drove to what seemed like the other end of the earth to Ace Hardware for some parts. I was looking down and told Kevin we would exit to the right at exit #1. I look up and he is getting in the middle lane. “Did you not hear me say right... Continue Reading →
