We'd slept in the parking lot of a shopping complex with grocery stores and fast food chains, but we were still some ways away from the center of St. Augustine, so we crossed our fingers in the morning and headed towards town, so we could find a closer spot to leave our RV and travel […]
After crossing into Florida yesterday, we drove into Jacksonville, where we first went to the Treaty Oak, an oak tree in the middle of a park that's more than 250 years old, with a 25-foot (7.6 meter) trunk. Oak trees may just be our favorite type of tree in the American southeast, with their dramatic, […]
After another night at Cracker Barrel (uneventful in a positive way), we drove to St. Simons, an island off the Georgia coast. It definitely gave retirement vibes when we got here--the average age seemed of the people walking around seemed to be mid- to late-60s. It's a charming town and community, and certainly seems to […]
Today we planned to spend it exploring Savannah by the best mode of transport--no, not in an RV, but e-bike! We were near Forsyth Park, a large city park that we'd been told was a lovely one to walk Sheila and simply wander through. It is indeed a really pretty park, adorned with our favorite […]
There are some cities that we'd heard great things about from friends ahead of visiting them, and Charleston was one of those places! Friends had consistently told us about the beautiful architecture, lovely streets and rich history here--and we were looking forward to checking it all out for ourselves. Charleston isn't a particularly big city, […]
Since we were headed south, we thought it'd be much warmer when we got to South Carolina, but yesterday and today the region was experiencing an icy cold snap, so it was very chilly! Clearly, it's not yet time to put away the beanies and parkas. At Myrtle Beach we found the Apollo Moonprints, which […]
It was another beautiful morning in Raleigh, and time for us to say very fond farewells to Caz and Craig, who were so much fun to catch up with over the last couple of days. We're so grateful for the opportunity to have hung out, and it was fantastic to get to appreciate it more […]
The street where our friends Caz and Craig live is really quiet and peaceful, so we had a good night's rest (definitely way better than the Cracker Barrel parking lot the other night!). The street curves on one end, and walking towards it is stunning at this time of the year because it's covered in […]
After a terrible night's sleep at the Cracker Barrel the day before, it was so nice to stay in quiet neighborhood in Durham! Sleep is never overrated! Meeting Mike and His Family After waving goodbye to our friend Hannah's street once Sheila had gone for a brief walk and pee, we headed to Michael's friend's […]
We've recently been staying more at Cracker Barrel parking lots because they are reliable (dedicated RV parking spots), and quieter (no loud generators from trucks coming and going at all hours) than rest stops. The Cracker Barrel we stayed at in Greenville overnight, however, was an exception: we were awoken in the wee hours of […]
