So I’m cheating a little bit with this trip. The blog is technically for RoVer’s adventures, and for this trip, our Subaru Forester is subbing in for RoVer (So maybe FoVer? Or SuVer?). It really wasn’t practical to bring...
This trip is a bit unusual, as it has had one purpose…Connor’s college graduation! Oh, and packing his stuff to be moved from Oxford to a storage unit in Columbus for a month, and then to Chicago. It’s kind...
Thursday was our first day in DC, and we started by meeting up with Connor and Emily. They flew in from Cincinnati Tuesday night and had already had a day of fun in DC! The timing worked out great...

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...
