It was a day of varied activities. We purchased an ebook on minimalism which prompted a decision to clean out our utility drawer. UPS delivered a package containing our replacement license tag holder and Steve installed that. We headed out to the beach for a while...
The weather this afternoon has been perfect for shorts and sandals and a trip to the beach where we felt like the lyrics of Knee Deep, the Zac Brown song, "Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair." Totally relaxing!
In the spirit of "home is where we park it", we are home. We have the basics: food, clothing, and shelter and a nearby Publix for replenishing the food supply and a laundry room in the park for keeping the clothing fresh. The awning gives us privacy and a pleasant...
Today we moved to a new site, got set up complete with awning, rugs, tables and chairs right where one of the campground staff showed us. While Steve was grilling our dinner, we gave a tour of the T@B. Then as we were sitting down to eat, another member of the...
Today didn't start out so pretty. Our phones awakened us at 4:21AM with a tornado warning. It didn't take us long to decide to take shelter. We joined another couple and their dog in the ladies room until the storm abated. Later this morning we called NC DMV about...
Manatee Hammock is a pleasant little county park campground between Highway A1A and the Indian River! When we called yesterday looking for a campsite, all they had available was one site for tonight and tomorrow. We reserved it! When we registered today, we...
We found a spot for tonight! Moss Park southeast of Orlando International. In our first half hour here we had a Sandhill Crane and a White-tailed Deer meander past our campsite. Later while we were munching on chips both came quite near hoping for handouts. Overhead...
Actually this bridge over Old Tampa Bay is the W. Howard Frankland Bridge named after the Florida businessman who proposed it's construction and who participated in it's 1960 dedication. Then it was a four lane two-way span. By the time we were learning to drive,...
If you lived here, you'd have a home where the buffalo roam! Based on archeological evidence that they once lived here American Bison have been reintroduced into Payne's Prairie along with long-horn cattle and horses descended from stock imported by Spanish settlers....
A propane campfire, a mug of perked coffee, and a bowl of sausage scramble. It's a most salubrious outdoor breakfast. The weather doesn't quite qualify as warm, but it's not driving us inside the T@B for shelter either. It's the first time this trip that we've felt...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

From London we made our way to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to dance to the strains of The Jive Aces and later enjoyed the opportunity to hobnob with the band members at The Ship and Castle in Portsmouth. Two fabulous experiences!
Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
A half-day bus tour from London to Stonehenge gave us enough of an opportunity to gaze in awe at this ancient sacred monument, learn a little more about its history and construction and make us want to return for perhaps a more intimate experience.
