For our final night, we enjoyed a nice Solo Stove fire and a much quieter campground. We were amazed at how many people left Sunday morning – the place was completely different Sunday night vs. Saturday night (and much more to our liking!) Monday we were up early and...
Before I continue, a couple of quick thoughts about The Biltmore that I forgot to include with my last post. My new bucket list item is a return visit at Christmas time. I saw some photos of what the house looks like in full décor, and it is stunning....
Once the rain ended on Wednesday, we were treated to the most amazing sunset! What was particularly interesting is that the pictures we took were actually towards the East, where the sunset was reflecting onto the clouds and creating the most incredible colors in the sky. Wow! Totally worth...
Monday morning, we headed North on I-95 and detoured out to Jekyll Island, GA. I’d heard it was a wonderful place, and it truly is! We only spent a couple hours there, but we are confident we’ll be back – we both just loved the vibe and the scenery!...
(Warning: Long post ahead, covers 3.5 days!) We enjoyed lunch outdoors on Thursday, and then in the afternoon we took advantage of some of the amenities at the campground – played a round of miniature golf (which I won!), and then tried our hands at pickleball. We’ve never played...
This week marks the start of our longest distance trip thus far…and is also right up there for total number of days. We will stay at a total of seven campgrounds in six states over 14 days! Prepping for this trip was definitely far more involved than our recent...
Well, we just finished our shortest RV trip! Just one night and not even at a campground! A few months back, we bought tickets for a James Taylor & Jackson Browne concert in Syracuse. Our plan had been to ‘boondock’ (dry camp) at a nearby Cracker Barrel (most of...
Turns out you can have ice cream and s’mores in the same day. We successfully accomplished this task on Wednesday! Looks like our campsite neighbor was successful in finally assembling his origami kayak; we saw him walking toward the beach with it at dusk on Wednesday. Hopefully he enjoyed...
Our travels this week bring us to the Thousand Islands region of NY. For those not familiar with the area, there are 1,864 islands in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the US/Canada border. And yes, it’s believed that the salad dressing is named for the area! We are camping...
The rain and thunderstorms continued yesterday afternoon, leaving our campsite pretty wet and muddy. Yuck. Definitely no fun to camp in the rain, and everything just ends up so damp and impossible to dry out! Not to mention all the mud and muck that tracks into the RV. Oh...
