    St. Augustine, FL

    Thursday, Jan. 17th It was about an hour and a half drive to St. Augustine. Founded in 1565, it’s the oldest city in the U.S. Somewhat unfathomable that a city in the U.S. could be that old. It was originally under Spanish rule and there’s plenty of historic charm in this city…. gobs of it!…

    Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island, GA

    In case you wonder how we fill our days when we’re not on some new sight seeing adventure or bike riding etc., we’re doing mundane things like grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, paying bills, reviewing 2018’s budget to see how we did (poorly!), planning this year’s budget, starting taxes, or cleaning our tiny home. Conversely, we’re…

    St. Simons Island, GA

    Friday, Jan. 11th Today we drove over to St. Simons Island for the first time. It reminded us very much of Hilton Head but it seemed on a smaller scale, although I think that was more an illusion than anything else since they are fairly similar in size.  St. Simons is 12 miles long and…

    Tuesday, Jan. 8th We headed over to Jekyll Island to do some bike riding today. We parked in one of the beach parking lots, ate our packed lunch, and took off riding. Part of the ride was along sand dunes which was lovely, and part was along a less scenic stretch, but still enjoyable since…

    Hilton Head / Bluffton, SC

    Sat., Jan. 5th We visited Ellen & Wayne at their condo rental on Hilton Head this past weekend! They were their for a month. What fun we had! Hilton Head Island is 12 miles long and 5 miles wide, has 12 miles of beaches, and 108 miles of paved shared-use pathways so biking is prevalent!…

    Thurs., Dec. 27th to Sun., Dec. 30th, 2018 We left Nottingham on Thursday to winter in Brunswick, GA. We had left our “tiny home” in Brunswick across the street from the campground where we would be wintering. Convenient! Soooo this meant we were staying in hotels as we traveled down. We weren’t in a huge…

    Sunday, Nov. 4th We headed to Lakeland today to spend one night at Sanlan RV Resort before dropping the 5th wheel off tomorrow morning for the new “hydraulic” landing gear to be installed. It was a scenic rural ride headed west on Hwy 60 from Hobe Sound through a mix of orange groves and grazing…

    Sunday, Oct. 28th Today is my 60th birthday! Wow! How did that happen! Thank you all for the phone calls, emails, texts, and FB posts with birthday greetings! They were indeed appreciated, and made me feel very loved. No worries for those who didn’t know it was my birthday. It’s entirely probable I don’t know…

    Tuesday, Oct. 23rd Shortly after Hurricane Michael hit we got a call from the campground in Eastpoint, FL (which would have been our stop during this leg) telling us that they were cancelling our 2-night reservation because the campground had some damage and no electricity. They were putting our deposit in their “house account” for…

    Wed., Oct. 17th Today we left Mustang Island in route to the panhandle of Florida… hopefully well away from the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. We had a really fun stay in this south Texas location visiting family and exploring the area! We opted to take the free ferry out of Port Aransas. That was a…

    Friday, Oct 12th Meigs and Paul came down to say their goodbyes to us on Friday morning. I said “Let’s make this short and sweet. I can’t handle any long drawn out goodbyes.” So that’s what we did. We will so look forward to visiting them again once they are settled in their new home. …

    Monday, Oct. 8th – Thursday, Oct. 11th Monday morning we said our goodbyes to Andy & Linda. Linda had suggested we take State Highway 281 South all the way down to Guadalupe River State Park in Spring Branch. Turned out to be a great scenic ride through Texas Hill Country with not too much traffic.…
