Dad has been saying for years that Hilton Head is one of his favorite places in the country. This morning we headed south to check it out for ourselves. It was nearly a two-hour drive to get there. We had no idea what to look for there, so we tried stopping at the first welcome center we saw, and we found that it was closed and completely empty. Not a good sign! Continue reading
What a beautiful day! I mean, it was cloudy, but kind of picturesque. There is a lot of water in South Carolina, not the least of which is the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve been near the Atlantic Ocean before, but this is the first time we got our feet wet in it. I have pictures: Continue reading
Mark and I went to explore the mountain today. We decided to be really daring and buy a one-way ticket for the sky tram to the top of the mountain. There is a trail that people can take in either direction or both. We weren’t daring enough to try both! Continue reading
For those of you in colder climes who are starved for color and light, we went with Steve and Bernice to their favorite farmer’s market this morning and I took lots of pictures. Continue reading
This being Thanksgiving, there wasn’t much traffic on the roads. I glory in the change of scenery and the warmth. This is the first Thanksgiving ever where I wore short sleeves and shorts to dinner! Continue reading
We crossed two state borders today, skipping over South Carolina. We will be back in a week or so, but we are in a hurry to spend Thanksgiving with my cousin and his family in Orlando tomorrow. By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I trust you will be with family and enjoying the food, the fellowship, and “the game” (whichever one you watch). Continue reading
Today was a spiritual day in many ways. I wanted to take Mark to Arlington National Cemetery today while we finally had full sun and then Denise Fuller invited me to an Acts 2 event that friends of hers had invited her to. Mark and I both had a sense of reverence all day. Continue reading
Sometimes dreams really do come true! When I was in high school, a friend of mine and I got our hands on a road atlas and began dreaming about taking a trip around the country. One place I desperately wanted go was Portland, Maine so that I could say I’d been to Portland’s on both sides of the country. Today I fulfilled that dream, in a manner of speaking. But my sister, Sherill, had also advised me on other places in Maine to see. We sort of got to do that. Continue reading
Had we not reached our campsite in the dark last night, I could have shown a bit more what Ohio looks like. As it is, within about half an hour after paying for our campsite this morning, we were out of Ohio. I paid in the Bob Evans homestead museum which is right next to the first Bob Evans restaurant, and they said I had to at least get something from the restaurant so I could have bragging rights to having eaten at the first Bob Evans restaurant. I went in and got Mark a cinnamon roll and myself a cornmeal muffin, so there! Continue reading
Fortunately, we didn’t have to drive as long today. This was fortunate because we had to load everything up again after several days of being able to spread out a bit. We stopped in briefly at the Workamper News office to thank them for the conference and then we tried to take a different route out of Heber Springs. Continue reading
