Go, See, Do, Experience!
We had done and seen all we wanted to in the entire area of Knoxville and Great Smoky Mountains National Park and we still had a full Saturday to spend. Well, I thought the other day, we should hop on over to Kentucky, you know, so we can get the state sticker for our map.... Continue Reading →
Hurricane Helene hit the west side of Florida bad. Then it continued north and has devastated parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and western North Carolina. Bridges and roads have been completely washed away. It hit land Thursday night and continued north on Friday. Even some dams are cresting and evacuations are happening below for fear...

It Just So Happened…. How many times are you at a place, you see an event that interests you, but you aren’t there for that date. Well, we were at the right place at the right time for several events in this area here in Manheim, Pennsylvania! 😜 It Just So Happened… My mom had... Continue Reading →
We left early in the morning for our 1-1/2 hour drive east to Philadelphia and got there about 8:30 a.m. We saw an underground parking garage under the Independence Visitor Center but it looked like a sharp turn at the bottom. Our truck is a Ram 3500, king cab, with long bed. We kept driving,... Continue Reading →
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 →
