Day 264: Outer Banks to Greenville, North Carolina

We were driving along the highway the next morning, when we noticed what looked like a theme park along the side of the road. So we stopped alongside it, noticing a few goats as well as an adorable black pig just chilling out in a pen. There were some rides, and further along, a bunch […]

Day 263: Norfolk to Virginia Beach, Virginia

Another day, another morning waking up in a Cracker Barrel restaurant parking lot, but appreciating that we tend to have a decent night's sleep here. We drove to waterfront city of Norfolk in Virginia, home to a major naval base. Here, our first stop (well, we just drove past and Lisette took a photo of […]

Day 262: Williamsburg to Jamestown, Virginia

The RV campground we stayed at was really lovely and quiet overnight, and Sheila enjoyed running through the thick patches of autumn leaves on the ground, sloshing her way across in the morning. We took advantage of the 2pm check out time, leaving after lunch, although Lisette could have used the entire day to catch […]

Day 261: Fredericksburg to Williamsburg, Virginia

The first full day of daylight savings time was living up to its reputation, with our solar power continuing to dwindle. At this rate, we'd have to consider staying in an RV park to recharge, as we were running very close to draining all of our power. The Bloodiest Battlegrounds in US History But before […]

Day 260: Missing An Hour from Washington DC to Arlington, Virginia

We woke up on a Sunday morning in a quiet street in Washington DC across from the Museum of the Bible, and we could see the silhouettes of our fellow campers across the road still getting ready for the day. Setting up our e-bikes and Sheila's trailer again, we first stopped by the Culture House, […]

Day 259: Washington DC (Day 2)

It was a quiet morning in the neighborhood, with folks perhaps taking it easy after the Halloween block party that happened in this suburban part of DC. There weren't many other signs of the holiday, although one house still had candy in the tray by its front door for kids! Awe-inspiring Architecture We drove back […]

Day 258: Washington DC (Day 1)

Despite our less-than-restful sleep due to a couple of trucks pulling up next to us in the middle of the night and noisily transferring goods, we were up and ready to head to Washington DC today, a city we had been excited to visit for a while--it is the capital, after all! Lisette had been […]

Day 257: Baltimore, Maryland (Day 2)

While we'd had a fairly heavy downpour overnight, fortunately the rain stopped during the day so we could explore sans umbrellas and wet weather gear. It was soon off to Fell's Point, which we'd driven past when we first arrived in Baltimore, a historic, waterfront neighborhood with cobblestone streets, which was once a bustling shipbuilding […]

Day 256: Baltimore, Maryland (Day 1)

We spent yet another night at a Cracker Barrel, and so far, they've been great places to stay at in this part of the country--there are always dedicated RV/bus lots, and they've been safe and quiet spots to stay at. It probably won't be the last time we stay at a Cracker Barrel, so at […]

Days 254-55: Ocean City and Assateague Island, Maryland

We woke up at our friends Kait and Brandon's home, and it was a rather chill day, walking around the neighborhood and catching up on errands. Since they live in a resort town, it's now much quieter as most visitors have left after the summer holidays. We used the time to clean up the RV […]
