The Nearest Faraway Place
Just across the bridge from Brunswick and a few miles down the Jekyll Causeway is Jekyll Island, “The Nearest Faraway Place.” There are more than 20 miles of bike and walking trails, ginormous sandy beaches, hotels, four golf courses, convention … Continue reading

Savannah 3
This was another day of wandering aimlessly around Savannah. Forsyth Park is the largest park in the Historic District. It is a very beautiful park with paved sidewalks, fountains, and monuments. We continued walking out of the park and around … Continue reading

Savannah Factor’s Walk
This time we drove the Jeep around the historic downtown Savannah area. The old streets are narrow and there are many one-way streets. But seeing as this was a slow time of year we had no trouble driving or finding … Continue reading

Savannah, GA
The first place any visitor should go in Savannah is the Visitor Center. It’s in an old railroad station. There is a museum there as well as the usual gift shops and food. For $24 we can park the motorhome … Continue reading
More South
This was another day of just driving, rather uneventful. The roads were busy with holiday travelers returning from their Thanksgiving weekend destinations. There were no delays as we boogied on down I-95 for 314 miles, through the rest of Virginia, … Continue reading

Going South
We’ve been on the road a lot the last few days. We had put the RV in storage in Maryland and drove the Jeep north to New Hampshire to have Thanksgiving with the kids. That was fun and we would … Continue reading

Going North

Moving Day
Today we left Greenbelt Park where we were paying $8/night to dry camp in the forest where we saw deer every day, and moved a few miles over to Cherry Hill Park, a gated full service campground, paying $54/night. They … Continue reading
Even More Museums
Frost on the windshield! This is not a good thing for us snowbirds! We’re holding off until after Thanksgiving so we can spend that time with our kids, but as soon as that is over we’re heading for warmer weather. … Continue reading
Archives and Art
More museums…. Our first visit was the National Archives. It is disappointing that visitors can no longer climb the front steps and enter the front doors and be welcomed by the beautiful foyer and rotunda. Instead we enter by the … Continue reading
More DC Tours
Our tour driver today said the Supreme Court building is the largest all marble building in the world. Currently it is covered with scaffolding and draped with an image of the building while it undergoes some renovation. We went inside … Continue reading
Sightseeing Tour
We took the subway train to Washington DC again today. Then we decided to take the Old Town Trolley sightseeing tour. This was a repeat of what we did last year when we were here, but it’s such an … Continue reading
Washington National Cathedral
The Washington National Cathedral is the sixth largest in the world. Construction began in 1907 and it wasn’t 83 years later when the “final finial” was placed in 1990. It’s mission is to be the spiritual home for the nation. … Continue reading

DC Museums
We drove ourselves to DC the last two days, but this time we took the train. That’s a much better idea. The roads in DC are a mess. The first thing we saw when we got off the train was … Continue reading
The White House
Hey…there’s a Kiss & Ride at the train station. Even so, we drove ourselves to DC. Parking isn’t a problem on the weekends if you get there early. One of the first things we did was walk to The White … Continue reading

Greenbelt Park
Here we are at Greenbelt Park, a national park that is only about 12 miles north of Washington DC. We paid for the next 7 nights, so we will be here for a while. There are lots of hiking trails … Continue reading
Not Much
The Nor’easter did not affect us much. It rained all day yesterday, but was not a heavy rain, and it wasn’t windy here at all. And no snow. But it did keep us inside, so I had nothing to blog … Continue reading

Turkey Point Lighthouse
We walked out to Turkey Point Lighthouse to see it again. It hasn’t changed since last year. The only difference was that last year it was open when we visited and we were able to go inside and climb up … Continue reading
