Bingo, line dancing, campground bands and ice cream socials are awesome (especially in St. Augustine)! Seriously, don’t judge me. I am going to make a really REALLY great retired person one day! History lesson (you’re welcome): People have lived here since 1565! In school, many of us are taught that Jamestown was the first settlement...
I am in love again, this time, with Savannah, Georgia! I hope to come back soon with a group of good friends that I know will appreciate this city as much as we do. I finally understand what all the “hoopla” is about! Many times on this trip we were told, “You have to stop...
So excited to be exploring The South! Alligator and poisonous snake warning signs are the new normal, kinda cool! Can’t wait to actually see one (preferably a gator) in its natural habitat. Also, this week we had our first taste of authentic southern BBQ, including hush puppies, and oh my my… If only I didn’t...
We welcomed the new year by obnoxiously honking our horn along with 300 of our closest friends, because, that is what you do when you live in a house with a built-in horn! Am I Right? We have been truly spoiled living just 50-feet from the beach for the last month. Daily walks, sunrises, sunsets,...
Week 27: North Carolina I love and appreciate places that are swimming with diversity! This gift can be a challenge to find in Utah. When you have a mixed family, one challenge is to make sure that everybody knows their story and where they currently fit in. The last few weeks have been a growth...
Week 26: Virginia and the Outer Banks (OBX) North Carolina The most exciting part of Virginia had nothing to do with Virginia. We reached our six month mark (or halfway point) this week. We are each writing a “mental state of the motor home” piece that we’ll share this upcoming week. This post, is simply...
Week 25: Washington DC and Maryland We are still heading south, week by week, trying to avoid freezing temperatures, though, the cold weather is catching up to us quickly! We don’t want to be driving this beast in the snow/ice. Our Maryland experience included a quick visit to Baltimore and the Inner Harbor, followed by...
Week 24: New York City and a Side of Holiday Magic Disclaimer: There is enough “cheese” in this first paragraph to make the average person barf! I keep pinching myself to make sure this week wasn’t a dream. My cheeks hurt from smiling and my eye’s may have leaked happy tears a time or two....
Pennsylvania (round two) and Connecticut Girls, meet some of the Amish people living in Lancaster, PA. Notice how they are living AND breathing without the use of small electronic devices attached to their palms 24-hours a day. It is a Christmas miracle! The phrase “Be Amish or Amish Style” is now being said instead of...
Smitten for Boston, that’s what I am! After a month we have finally mustered up the strength leave. No, not because Massachusetts has the worlds worst drivers (self-admitted), it is simply getting too darn cold! 18-degree temperatures and freezing water pumps are no bueno in a tin box!?! The energy of this city is fantastic...
