Today is a day to learn how to do Washington, D.C. Yesterday we got here at Cherry Hill Park. It is a top rated campground. At 4:00 p.m. every day, they have a visitor session on how to get around Washington, D.C., how the Metro (trains, buses, Circulator, etc) works, schedules, and suggestions to see...

George Washington’s Mount Vernon
From our campground in Colonial Beach, VA, we drove about 1.5 hours north to George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Just north of Fredericksburg, where we merged into I-95, was the longest collector road we have seen. Miles. At one point, there are two separate freeways going north and two going south plus a middle freeway that... Continue Reading →
Privy, Whiskey, Hilly, Under Water, & Monticello
Forecast: cloudy with highs in high 50s. That worked for us for the plans for the day. We headed to Norfolk, VA, to General Douglas MacArthur Memorial. We learned so much about him. He had a real passion for the people of Philippines. He said he would rather give up all the awards and medals... 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 →
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

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

He is a very sweet man and great friend. He has been part of Bok Tower Gardens for... 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 →
Southernmost Point Buoy, Florida Keys & Kayak Tour
Day 2: It was hard to wait until it was light outside but we wanted it light out so we could see the new area we were going to explore. We got in the truck at 7:00am. The first key we came to is Key Largo and of course the song is in our head.... Continue Reading →
