Move to Greenbelt
Since Cracker Barrel was kind enough to allow us to stay the night in their parking lot the least we could do is go in for a good breakfast before we hit the road. Apparently many of the Canadians in … Continue reading

National Air and Space Museum
More rain again this morning. Once it let up we took the train to Washington DC again. The first thing we saw when we came up from the Metro subway train this morning was a line of food trucks getting … Continue reading
Washington DC
It rained again this morning and then remained overcast and light fog for most of the day. We learned the first time we were here that driving ourselves to the capitol is a really bad idea. Taking the train in … Continue reading
Greenbelt Park, MD
It rained over night and for a while this morning. Once it stopped we hit the road, moving further south, to Greenbelt Park in Maryland. I’ll never get used to these metro multi-lane highways. Give me the rural four-lane interstates! … Continue reading

Elkton, MD
Driving the rest of the way around New York City and then down the New Jersey Turnpike and across the Delaware Memorial Bridge, a total of about only 150 miles, seemed like a lot longer drive than it really was. … Continue reading

Going North
Today we just had lunch at a nearby restaurant and then came home and did laundry. We’ll be leaving early tomorrow morning to go to Connecticut and New Hampshire for Thanksgiving. There may or may not be daily blog entries … Continue reading

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
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

Elk Neck State Park, MD
Camping World got our tires all air’d up this morning and we continued our drive south, driving through the tip of Delaware and into Maryland. We are now in Elk Neck State Park. It is located towards the very northern … Continue reading
