Our Travels
RV Life in Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry
We were here in October 2014 and couldn't stay away. We had a different agenda this go round wanting to take in a few site never visited as well as get our "boot skootin'" fix. We usually try to stay at the Seven Points COE Campground located in Hermitage, TN, but...
Camping in Memphis, Graceland and Beale Street
Don’t be cruel. Hunk-a hunk-a of burning love. I could go on and on, but you’ve guessed it by now, Joan and I visited Memphis and Graceland. I’ll confess that we’re not the consummate Elvis fans, but as children of the 60’s, we remember the movie star more than the...
6 Lessons Learned From Our 3500 Mile Trip
Joan and I just completed our winter trip leaving Middle Georgia days after Christmas and returning the end of March. We had a blast! We saw great sights, met so many interesting people and had meals that provided great representation for each area visited. We also...
Little Ocmulgee State Park – Helena GA
Spring has sprung and it's time for our annual Spring Break trip with the grand kids. The kiddos love to camp and always looks forward to going out with Joan and I for this week. We try to find a campground close to home with a number of things to do to keep the the...
Old Mill – North Little Rock AR
During our recent visit to Little Rock, we took a Sunday afternoon trip to visit the Old Mill located in the T. R. Pugh Memorial Park in North Little Rock. The mill is famous for its appearance in the opening credits of the movie “Gone With the Wind”. The mill and...
Maumelle COE Campground – Little Rock
We’ve left Texas and continue our loop back to Macon. This stop takes us to Maumelle COE Campground Little Rock, AR for a week long stay. This is a great RV campground along the edge of the Arkansas River. There are paved roads throughout, the sites are level with...
Texas Ranger Hall of Fame
When we traveled through Waco, Joan’s stop for the day was Magnolia Silos in search of the ever popular Chip and Joanne Gaines. I wasn’t about to leave this central Texas city without a stop at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum. This is a wonderful museum...
Visiting Magnolia Silos
You can’t travel along I-35 through mid-Texas with your wife and drive through Waco and not stop. The cheering in the truck starts with “I’ve have to go to Magnolia Silos and see Chip and Joanne”. Now if you’re one of the two people on this earth who haven’t heard of...
LBJ Library
We’ve been on the road for several months at the time of this post. To some it may look like a Baby Boomer walk in the past. Maybe so, but we as American’s have so much great history at our doorstep as this was the case with our visit to the Lyndon Baines Johnson...
Gruene Texas
As we planned our travel through Texas, I was interested in the central area where a number of German immigrants settled during the 1800’s. We visited Gruene, TX, settled in the mid 1800’s by Ernst Gruene. Ernst's son, Henry was quite the entrepreneur for his time...
San Antonio River Walk
Across the street and a few steps down from The Alamo is San Antonio’s famous River Walk. The San Antonio River supported many Spanish missions located along the banks throughout the 1700 and 1800’s. Today, the River is a major tourist stop offering much to do. The...
The Alamo
We’ve heard the battle cry from movies, in books, even in the backyard with kids playing: “Remember the Alamo”. You can’t visit San Antonio without a walk through this iconic shrine. This mission came into existence in the early 1700’s by the Spanish. We know it best...
Space Center Houston
Being a Baby Boomer and growing up during the space age, one of my bucket list items was to visit the NASA Space Center Houston, TX. Joan and I were staying at the Livingston, TX Escapees Park and I couldn’t wait to make the trip and my expectations were rewarded....
Cajun Country and Tabasco
Traveling I-10 through Louisiana toward Texas, Joan and I decided to stop for a few days in heart of Cajun country. We took exit 103a toward New Iberia and found a very nice Campground called Cajun RVera. This county owned campground is part of the Sugarena at the...
