Time to call the trip a success and head home…Mark disconnected everything for the last time this trip, flushed out the tanks, and we got everything packed up (not terribly time consuming since we’d had to pack everything up each morning anyway!). Less than an hour and we were...
We started the day with a trip north to Front Royal, VA and a couple of ‘errand’ stops at WalMart and Lowe’s. One thing I’ve realized with the RV…when you walk out of a big box store, there’s no wondering “where did I park”…the RV is instantly visible. Think...
Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Disconnect everything again and head on out. This morning, we headed south to the farthest entrance of Shenandoah (about 75 minutes away), to enjoy the lower 1/3 of Skyline Drive. Where Skyline Drive ends, the Blue Ridge Parkway begins. We figured we’d work our way North...
We were pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy it was to disconnect everything and get RoVer back on the road this morning. And, by mid-afternoon, Mark and I were saying that we may not want/need to tow a vehicle – we LOVED having the RV with us all...
Today was a tear-down/travel/set-up day! We were pretty efficient with getting everything packed away and disconnected – it all went smoothly except those darn sewer hoses are really hard to disconnect from each other. Mark had bought a tool at the camp store to help give him leverage, but...
After a grocery store run, it was time to return the rental car and take an Uber back to the campground. We decided not to venture out at all – we’re back on the road again tomorrow, and knew that we had a bunch of things to get done....
We had hoped to drive to Annapolis MD today, but the forecast looked really rainy, and much of what we wanted to see there was closed due to COVID…so instead, we headed to Union Market and walked around the NoMa neighborhood which is undergoing a massive transformation. There is...
We had an early lunch at the RV and then headed out in the car to explore some neighborhoods in DC. We ended up at the Navy Yards, near Nationals Baseball Stadium, and took a nice walk along the water there. Then we headed over to the Capitol Hill...
On Saturday, we drove to the Metro station to catch a train into DC. The Smithsonian museums are all still closed due to the pandemic, but we have always loved visiting the monuments and memorials…so we walked about eight miles, starting near the Capitol, heading to the newest memorial,...
Friday morning, we had a rental car reserved for pickup at a nearby hotel…Connor was flying in from Ohio around noon, and between picking him up/dropping him off at the airport and keeping ourselves entertained for the weekend, we decided a car would be our best bet. From our...
