West Virginia is along our route today as we trek north for a quick visit to Ohio to watch granddaughters dance this weekend. As always we were marveling at the landscape and this time really delighted in the Redbud trees blooming at the edge of the woods all along I-77. And as always we talked about taking time to explore the state. Just before leaving the state we stopped at the WV Welcome Center at Williamsburg near Parkersburg. Outside we checked out the West Virginia Fallen Worker Memorial We’ve always found welcome centers a great place to begin exploring a region and vow to check one out when we begin an extended visit to The Mountain State.
Sue and I ventured down to Nags Head, camping at Oregon Inlet NSeashore. In Reston VA for a few days and have been enjoying Spring. They have had snow back in Holland, MI while we have been enjoying temps in the 70’s. We’ll be in Ohio as well later this week. Put a new MaxxAir fan in our 320 and really enjoying it.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
