Miles and Miles of Sandy Beach
Not quite barefoot weather, but with the Atlantic Ocean in our backyard, we couldn’t resist beginning our week’s stay at Huntington Beach State Park with a nice long walk. We gawked at all the waterfront “cottages” just out of reach (usually) of the high tide line, although there must have been a recent storm with…

Somewhere in North Carolina
Today we picked up Minnie, our little vacation home on wheels. After 10 days on the road, we are more than happy to to leave hotel life behind. Reg directed the truck toward the blue sky and we were off. It took awhile to clean and organize our space, but we’re already feeling pretty much…

The Gateway to the West
The day was gloomy, but we set our sites on exploring the National Historic Landmark known as the Gateway to the West. The Gateway Arch stands on the banks of the Mississippi River and towers 630 feet over the city of St. Louis, Missouri. It’s the world’s tallest arch and Missouri’s tallest accessible building. The…

We Found OurThrill…
Taking a rest from our mad dash across the country, we planned two nights in St. Louis, looking forward to a day for stretching our legs and seeing the sites. We eventually realized we had landed in a special place; The Delmar Loop. Reg was skeptical as we set out to find dinner. Our little…

OKC Is Okay With Us

Oklahoma City happened to be in the right place, at the right time for an overnight stop on our eastward journey. Our reservation at the Hyatt Place in the Bricktown entertainment…

Maine or Bust 2022: Around The Country Roundup
It’s been nearly a week since we arrived home, enough time to feel as though we never left. Funny how that works. Although we’ve made two other trailer trips across the country, this was by far our most ambitious, spreading from as far south as Sedona, Arizona and north into the state of Maine. For…

Maine or Bust 2022: I’m Tired and Ugly
After several marathon days along the road home I decided to hold a little pity party. “I’m tired and ugly,” I complained as we crossed yet another state line. ”My hair needs cutting, my bum is sore from all this sitting and I’m bored!” Not that I’m complaining about our trip. It’s been a great…

Maine or Bust 2022: The End or the Beginning?
Tomorrow we pack up our memories and say goodbye to Maine, a state we’ve dreamed of visiting for years. How lucky we were to visit beautiful Acadia National Park before the real crowds of summer arrive. Friends Jeannie and Jeff came up to spend our last day with us at our cozy cabin. After a…
