John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is on the campus of UMass. The drive was about an hour and we got there just as it was opening at 10:00 a.m. The first part of the exhibits showed household appliances and furnishings from that time period. Then there was a large section of... Continue Reading →
Freedom Trail, Boston, MA
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 →

You know Kevin’s rule, don’t you? If not, here it is. Well, a little background first. We started camping in Sept 2020 with our new 25 ft long travel trailer. We camped over 180 days in 14 months.

There are some pretty strict tunnel rules for carrying propane gas, even if it is turned off. The traffic was pretty light, this being a Sunday. We got to the Harvest Host at 5:00 p.m. It...

Conclusion & Advice For Washington, D.C. Plus A Soup Story, Capitol & Law Enforcement Memorial
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 →
Washington National Cathedral
Washington National Cathedral was way more to us than we expected. First of all, the bus ride from the Metro red line train stop was interesting. The streets around this area are curvy but jut out with new streets from all points. Some places a lane was taking out on each side of the road... Continue Reading →
Navy Band & Library Of Congress & Kevin’s Interruption
What does Kevin hear in Washington, D.C? As we came out of the tunnel from the Metro train at the Archives Station, Kevin turned to me and in American Sign Language signed that he heard music. When our heads popped up out of the ground we saw a full orchestra and band set up at... Continue Reading →
