On the Road Again!

And, we’re back on the road again! West Virginia is now on the map! Now to read up on our next conquest. 😁 Williamsburg, we have you in our sights!

After a pretty crazy spring with tea room events and some music gigs, it’s time for a little spring vacation. We are on our first vacation camping trip of the season and on our way to Delaware to explore. Neither of us has ever really explored Delaware and we are excited together visit with some stops along the way visiting old favorites from previous trips through West Virginia and Virginia.

We stayed in Huntington, WV the first night out and on Friday we explored Staunton, VA...birthplace of President Woodrow Wilson and home of The Statler Brothers. This was a great stopover on our way to Williamsburg.

My parents took me to Williamsburg multiple times as a kid and I’ve always loved visiting. Jeff had been previously for a conference but we had never explored Williamsburg together so this was quite a treat. We also took one of the ghost tours! On Sunday we explored Jamestown and Yorktown. We absolutely loved the ships and wandering about the settlement at Jamestown and were treated to a Revolutionary War artillery demonstration at Yorktown.

Next we are on to Chincoteague Island to see the beautiful wild horses.

Sarge

This is “Sarge”. He is a volunteer at the Indiana Military Museum in Vincennes. Sarge saw us pull up in our Lucy camper and immediately came to find us...or to find Carrie, actually. He is an Army veteran and at 80 he has a great many stories that he loves to tell. He fell in love with Carrie and I thought he might try keep her. 😂 He was totally enamored with her and I almost felt guilty having to take Carrie away from him. He loved the attention that she gave him and he looked almost heartbroken when the curator told him he needed to go assist others in the museum.

People, please don’t dismiss the elderly. They were young once too. Sometimes they just want to feel appreciated and know that someone is interested in what they have to say.

We spent probably an hour with Sarge as he followed us around telling about the displays and trying to think of every excuse to stay close to Carrie - until he was told to “stand down” by curator. 😁

We told Sarge we would be back to visit him soon. I asked if I could get a photo with him and Carrie. I’m going to mail a print of it to him at the museum. 😉

Vincennes Getaway Weekend

A camping weekend in Vincennes!

SO much to do and see in this great Indiana town!

We were invited to perform at the Red Skelton Museum fundraiser - Red’s Roaring Twenties Gala on Saturday night (photos to come) but got in some camping and sightseeing as well (even more photos to come).

Vincennes is a fabulous town.

These are photos from our Friday at the George Rogers Clark Memorial Park. It is one of THE prettiest parks in Indiana. We spent our afternoon there and then took a late evening drive over the Wabash Cannonball Bridge.
