Go, See, Do, Experience!
Valley Forge National Historic Park. Crazy thing about this: don’t put into GPS maps to see where “Valley Forge” is. Apparently it is a town south and west of us and less than 1/2 hour from our campground in Manheim, PA. Valley Forge, where George Washington and the army camped for 6 months during 1777-1778,...

Saunderskill Farms is less than a mile from our campground in Accord, NY. This is the one that has been in the family for 12 generations, since 1680. It was our second time to visit this week. We purchased some lettuce, kale, cucumbers, mini peppers - including purple ones, and onions. At home (footnote 1)... Continue Reading →
We found another fun thing to explore here in Maine. We went to Seashore Trolley Museum. What a fun place! It is in Kennebunkport. They say it is the first and largest electric railway museum in the world. Over 200 different railway things, trolleys, trains, buses, etc. There was a trolley ride in just a... Continue Reading →
Kevin learned all about the commuter train and the schedules to Boston and then got the payment app on our iPhones. With the Saturday schedule, the commuter doesn’t go as often and starts at 5:09 a.m. with the next one 7:09 a.m. The train ride is about an hour. That is a big time difference.... Continue Reading →
Our United States Capitol tour was set for 10:00 a.m. We knew the visitor center opened at 8:30 a.m. so we got there when it opened. We figured we could look around in the visitor center before the tour. Security was easy to get through and then, since I had timed tickets, we went to... Continue Reading →
Do you know there is a university designed exclusively for the deaf and signing community? It started more than 150 years ago and is in Washington, D.C. Gallaudet University. https://gallaudet.edu/about/ I was so excited to see this place. I became 100% deaf four years ago and the eight or so years before that I was... Continue Reading →
We had a tour scheduled this evening so we hung out until 10:00 a.m. and then headed out. We went back to National Museum of American History for the day. I was thrilled to see Julia Child’s display. It is actually her real kitchen! She donated the whole thing to this Smithsonian. All her cooking... 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 →
