George Washington slept here! New Bern was founded in 1710 by Swiss and German Palantine immigrants. It was named for the capital of Switzerland and served as the first capitol of North Carolina. We enjoyed poking around the visitors center and various spots in this historic town. It’s a place to which we’re likely to return, especially to visit Tyron Palace and the Birthplace of Pepsi!
Spent a most enjoyable March sunny day watching alligators and hiking in St Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge south of Tallahassee, Florida.
Eight nights at sea aboard Carnival Pride gave us visits to Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, and a Panama Canal Partial Passage as well as lots of fun, camaraderie, and of course dancing.
In October we decided to make Medina our new hometown and have been embracing its charms while setting into our new apartment

Hi Steve & Karen,
Good talking to you at the KOA, in Bridgeton, we got home yesterday, it rained hard
Saturday night, but stopped before dawn.
We have a common interest in 2 ways, genealogy & kayaking, although our real
passion is sailing our 27 ft. Sailboat.
The pictures on your web site are excellent, what did you take them with ?
My guess would be an I-pad.
