Our journeys through North Carolina continue! On Thursday, we visited Greensboro, NC, about 45 minutes north of our campground. We started our day at the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, the site of a Revolutionary War battle in March, 1781. While the battle was technically won by the British,...

On Friday, we headed to the last of the “Research Triangle” cities, Raleigh…also the capital of North Carolina. Our first stop was a fabulous garden and nursery, Juniper Level Botanic Garden, that is only open to the public eight weekends each year, and we happened to catch one of...
Gardens, a Chapel, and the Bull City
Our travels on Friday were easy and quick, after a crazy night of rain and wind. Wind is the one thing that really bothers me when I’m trying to sleep (I can sleep through anything…but windstorms keep me awake!), so it was a restless night. Fortunately it was just...
A Palace, a Fort, and Wild Horses

We’ve spent some time exploring more of New Bern this week, while also tackling some necessary chores. On Monday, we started our Valentine’s Day with the most romantic thing a couple can do together…we went to the laundromat! I honestly cannot remember the last time I was in a...
Riverwalks, Boardwalks, and Piers
We had about a 3.5 hour drive to our next campground on Tuesday. Everything went smoothly when we left Virginia – got our propane tank filled, hooked up the car, and were on the road pretty quickly. The drive was smooth and easy – hardly any traffic, which is...
Monticello, Bonsai, and Electricity
We had a really interesting and fun weekend…when we weren’t worrying about electrical issues with the RV! If you’re interested in the details of that, it’s at the end of the post…feel free to skip it if you’d prefer. I’ll start with the fun stuff! Saturday was a bright,...
On the Road Again…
On the road again! We are back for season two with RoVer, and we’re testing out the snowbird lifestyle…heading south for the winter (or most of it, anyway!). While we have talked about doing this for a while, our ‘real’ planning for this trip started back in September when...

Warning, this is a long post…but it is the last one for several months and covers several days! We had a quiet morning at the campground on Saturday; Connor had a paper to write, so he focused on that for a few hours while we relaxed, took a walk,...

Well, we are back on the road, but it wasn’t looking too promising a few days ago. In my last post, RoVer was at the repair shop for some electrical issues after we canceled our Hudson Valley trip. She spent that entire week there, and finally they felt they...
Our Lucky Day…

We SHOULD be in Rhinebeck, NY right now, in the Hudson Valley, excited about three days there. Instead, we are home in Webster. It’s our lucky day. Let me start with the backstory – as I mentioned previously, we bought a Buick Encore GX which can be flat-towed behind...
