We ventured into Cherokee today and discovered a gem. The Oconaluftee Institute for the Cultural Arts. We had seen a flyer about an exhibit of work by T.J.Holland and decided to go check it out. We ended up getting an extensive personal tour of the institute which was...
Three years ago today we left Ohio on the last leg of our Great Adventure and drove through a snow storm through West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and into North Carolina. We stopped at the North Carolina welcome...
After gray skies on Sunday, pouring rain all day Monday, snow flurries all day Tuesday, we are excited to see blue skies and sunshine. We started the day with a fire in the wood stove and blankets on the lap.At noon we still have a little bit of snow in a shady spot...
Had a wonderful visit with Dick and Dawn. First we did a leisurely circuitous walk from the parking lot to the restaurant where we met Dawn. It was a good chance to talk with Dick and to see a little more of this beautiful little town, the oldest in Ohio. Then a tasty...
Wednesday morning we left Cincinnati and headed north to Toledo where we had a wonderful visit with Steve's cousin, Sue, and her daughter and her family friend, Doug. Sue graciously shared lots and lots of family stories,...
The weather has gotten chilly. The leaves are beginning to turn especially at the higher elevations so we did a Sunday afternoon drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. At first we planned on lunching at the Pisgah Inn but we took a wrong turn. Instead we traveled past...
We arrived at the Greenville station right on time. Jef, our porter, true to his work knocked on the door of our roomette shortly before we were to arrive at the station. We rose, got our stuff together and made our way to the back of the sleeper car. Jef retrieved...
Up early and out of the house by 6:30AM for the walk to Shawmut then the Alewife train to South Station. Greg and Rachel accompanied us that far. While they were posing for us they were distracted by a procession of "statues" walking by. These "statues" which then...
An absolutely glorious end of summer day. We made our way to Harvard Square for two festivities. First was the Urban Agricultural Fair which included some roasted corn on the cob and local brew. In between we visited Greg's workplace and checked out a couple of local...
We ventured out to the Museum of Fine Arts today. Oh, there is so much to see. We sampled but a small amount of the offerings but relished beauty from Ancient Egypt to Dale Chihuly. We were dazzled by the special exhibit on jewelry and awed by Early American art such...
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.

It's a long drive from the mountains of western North Carolina to the beach in South Carolina. Don't ask us why we chose to make the trip in just one day for we have no good answer for that question. But we can say that some good things happened along the way. As we...
While we have been spending the winter scanning old paper records and memorabilia - over eight thousand images so far, Sc@rlett has been snoozing under her cover. When our local friends would ask us, "When's the next trip?", we've responded that we don't have anything...
It's been twelve years since I read this tale of music and magic, evil and courage set in Cornwall. Last time I read it in paperback format in the 1990's. In the intervening years the two of us have been making the transition to a digital library so this time I read...
