Rainy and cold - highs to be only in the high 50s so - not a day to go to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. Good thing we have American Revolution Museum at Yorktown to visit. The museum was built in 2016 and the whole museum is 80,000 sq ft. (Compare that to the 30,000 sq... Continue Reading →
1st Thanksgiving, Where? Plus, He Said He Can’t Take Anymore!
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 →
Outer Banks: Storms, Wright Brothers, Lost Colony, & Lighthouses
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. 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 →
Ruins & More In South Carolina
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 →
Gorgeous Gardens, Navy SEALS, & A Friend To The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing
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 →
How Did We Get Started On This Journey?
2 years of full-time traveling…and no plans to stop. How did we get started on this journey? Well, Kevin and I both love to travel. Kevin traveled to some places while growing up in the midwest. In college he traveled with a college music group and saw even more places around the country. My family... Continue Reading →
Guess The Picture At The End. 😃
I Made This Wall Hanging For The Pantry Door, Florida SKP Resort, Wauchula, FL 01/24 Kevin said we should go to Walmart as there was a break in the rain. We picked up a few groceries. As we came out, it was pouring hard. We laughed because we were parked the farthest away. SOAKED! From... Continue Reading →
Days 3&4, Including Airboat Through Everglades!
Day 3: We went to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park on Key Largo. Kevin asked me if we should get a Florida State Park pass. Sure, that is a good idea. Turns out each park gets a certain number of the passes per year. This park had 3 left and the cost doubled tomorrow.... Continue Reading →
