Recent Adventures
Virginia Beach – part 2 – the beach!
I grew up living a few miles from Long Island Sound and spent a lot of time at the beach. I have fond memories of time my family spent at the beach (even my mom liked the beach, but I’m not sure she ever put a toe in the water!), and as teenagers with my friends at...
Virginia Beach – part 1 – KOA
The Virginia Beach KOA was pretty nice. We spent a week there and had a great time. Fred didn’t like that he couldn’t do all of the things, but he did take us on a tour of them all…. This campground had food trucks a few days a week, And on our last night there,...
Fort Knox
We drove over to Fort Knox in Prospect, ME one evening after work. We wandered around the grounds, seeing the batteries and the living quarters.
Boston
Fred and I spent a few days in the Boston area with Margaret and her family. Margaret and I actually went into work in the office a couple of days, which gave us an opportunity to drive through Boston in bad weather one day, and then to walk much of the Freedom Trail...
Fort Monroe
We stopped at Fort Monroe on our way from Williamsburg to our next campground in Virginia Beach. Once again we had a beach with a lot of signs saying ‘no dogs,’ so no photos of Fred swimming here. Inside the Fort, the first thing we encountered was a cemetery for...
Williamsburg KOA
The Williamsburg KOA was pretty nice. They had a dog wash - always a plus. On Saturday evening, they had a local farmer (?) bring all of his animals in for a petting zoo… and he had a border collie to help round them all up when it was over.
Yorktown – Battlefield and Village
We visited Yorktown, per the recommendation of several people. First stop, Felgars Creek for a quick swim.Next stop was the Yorktown Battlefield. This is a self-driven tour to various stops along the way. Fred’s taken a liking to cannon poses.Next stop was the Victory...
Colonial Williamsburg
I’ve been to Williamsburg a couple of times as a child - once on a family trip with our close friends and neighbors, and once on a high school trip. So Since Williamsburg was the area I could get a campsite in the end of August, I went for a third time. Being that it...
RV Badness
So mostly our RV’ing experiences have gone very well. But I had a bad experience at the Jellystone Park. Typically when I leave a campsite with the RV during my stay, I store my surge protector in the RV and leave the cord, water and sewer hoses behind, as well as...
Natural Bridge State Park
We stopped at Natural Bridge State Park on the way from Luray to Williamsburg. It’s a pretty cool looking arch. I took a lot of photos from different angles. Also, check out the blue heron (?) near the waterfall. It didn’t move at all!And of course…. Virginia is for...
