There really isn’t much to tell about today. We left Stone Mountain this morning and headed east on I-20. We made a stop for gas and a stop at Walmart. It rained a good part of the day. I have a picture of us crossing the border: 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
We’re still a little sore from all the walking we did yesterday and we wanted to let someone else do the driving for a change. We have pre-paid several tickets for things to see and do so we did two of them today. Continue reading
This morning’s drive was our shortest yet. It took us just under an hour to get from Middleborough, MA to Middletown, RI! We plan on staying here for two nights so I can research some of my family history. By the way, before we left our campsite this morning, we found out that the weather we experienced yesterday was only a very mild nor’easter. I’d hate to see a normal one! Continue reading
Today we touched on three states: Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The weather was extremely wet and windy, but we intrepid travelers managed to get some sightseeing in before dark. I must say, though, that I’ve noticed in the last several days that the sky seems to start darkening around 3:00 in the afternoon. It may not be completely dark till 5:00, but it does make for some rather dismal pictures. Continue reading
This is the part of the trip Mark has been looking forward to. We have been working chronologically backward through his church history. A couple years ago we visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Last Spring we visited Nauvoo, IL where Joseph Smith was killed. Today we visited Palmyra, NY where Joseph Smith reportedly had his vision and received the golden plates. Continue reading
I haven’t mentioned that everywhere we stop to spend the night, we’ve been leaving RVIC (RV Inspection Connection) brochures. This morning I left a couple in the office where we were staying and the owner of the campground said she has a son that is working at Home Depot that she needs to be able to get back working in the campground. She said maybe he could learn to do RV inspections, so I went back to our RV and got a brochure for her to show him on how to become an RV inspector. I hope he does get the training. Steve and Coop need more inspectors. Continue reading
