While we were partying at Tween Creeks, our Redford our trusty red Ford F-150 was in the shop in Waynesville, NC. Even as we were finishing up with the after party clean-up at the vacation rental technicians were finishing up the trifecta of repairs that the truck...

Transfer to Tween Creeks
Since Redford, our 2016 Ford F-150 is in the shop for a week we were fortunate that Jim, a dear friend and fellow T@B owner offered to hitch Bell@, our T@B 400 to his truck and deliver her to our next stop. It turned out to be not quite seamless. Jim's trailer has the...
Maggie Valley
Our twelve night stay in Maggie Valley, North Carolina is coming to a close. It's been a delightful stay at Hillbilly Creekside Campground on Site #3 backed up immediately adjacent to Campbell Creek. We've watched the occasional fisherman wading in the stream and a...
Craft, Cocktails, and Jazz in Greensboro
It's been a delightful quick trip to Greensboro, North Carolina. We stayed as driveway guests with Steve & Mary, our former neighbors. Through the years we've enjoyed many a wine evening, dinners at one another's homes, long delightful conversations, and as pod...
Harvest Hosts Holiday Weekend
It's a strange feeling to be traveling this weekend from the North Carolina Outer Banks into Tidewater Virginia. Traditionally we have not had to worry about having campground reservations for Memorial Day weekend but knowing that most campgrounds would be full to...
The Wright Brothers Memorial
Remembering how much we learned and how much we enjoyed the visit to the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Manteo, North Carolina when were here with our young family in 1986, we decided that despite the Memorial Day weekend traffic on the North Carolina's Outer...
The Battle of New Bern
One historic site in the New Bern area that we had not been aware of before our visit is the New Bern Battlefield Park, owned and maintained by the New Bern Historical Society. The park's acreage preserves a significant portion of the land where in March 1862 Union...
Tryon Palace
Once considered to be the finest building in the American Colonies, Tryon Palace was constructed between 1767 and 1770 during the reign of King George III to be the seat of government and home to the family of the Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. After...
Birthplace of Pepsi
In truth neither one us had much pondered the history of Pepsi Cola before our first visit to New Bern, North Carolina in 2014 but the fact that we'd have the opportunity to visit the Birthplace of Pepsi was one of the reasons for our return to this historic town....
Misty Morning Ostrich Ranch
What a delight to awaken to the sounds of a rooster heralding the morning, the sight of horses grazing outside our camper, and memories of last night’s experience of helping candle and place ostrich eggs into the incubator as well as getting up close and personal with...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Winter Magic in Medina
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!
Savoy at Sea 2025
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.
Cruising Canada’s Coast
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!
