Tuesday was an “eclectic” day according to Mark…lots of variety! We started with a tour of “Korner’s Folly”, a home in Kernersville, NC. They bill it as “a house like no other” and I have to agree. The house was built in 1878 by Jule Gilmer Korner who was...
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...
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...
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...
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! 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,...
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....
