Hanging with the McGaff’s in Dallas is not for the faint of heart; it is a full time job of “projects”, babysitting (a young persons game) and plenty of scary movies at night. Just when I thought I would ease into retirement with sweet Joanie, work broke out. And…I wouldn’t have it any other way.Continue reading “No Rest For The Weary”

After waking early and getting on the road in Nashville, we dashed across TN and AR running from Delta and made it safely to TX without much bad weather. Our 11+ hour drive was the longest we’ve made on any day of our adventures and mutually agreed to be our longest we will ever drive.Continue reading “Back in Texas”

We made it safely to Tennessee and have Little Al parked across the street from the Grand Ole Opry at the Nashville KOA Resort. At night you can actually hear the ghosts of Chet Atkins, Roy Acuff, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline sing into the night…pretty cool but just a little spooky and we justContinue reading “Franklin & Leiper’s Fork, TN”

After leaving Brett and Jim’s condo in Arlington and fighting the early morning commuters (so sad people have to have jobs), we picked up Little Al and headed south with no real destination but an idea of where we wanted to land. We ended up finding a great spot at the Down By The RiverContinue reading “Newland, NC”

For the last two nights of Bretts “Griswold Vacation” we decided to stay at a b&b in Yorktown, VA. Joanie and I had been here years earlier for a wedding and really wanted to come back and explore the area. The owners and staff went out of their way to keep everything as normal asContinue reading “Yorktown”

We spent the last two days at our home away from home in the Outer Banks at The Refuge On Roanoke Island RV Park. Although we didn’t get Joanie’s request of shade for Marco, Ron did give us an awesome spot right on the water…just watch out for snakes or alligators. The great weather andContinue reading “The Outer Banks”

After getting an early start on our drive north to The Outer Banks, later than planned because of a darn exercise class breaking out, we decided to break up the drive with another Harvest Host stop in Pikeville, NC. We called A Secret Garden Winery and spoke to Linda, the owner, who saved a spotContinue reading “A Secret Garden Winery”

Just when we got used to living in a 19’ capsule where every square inch of space is either occupied or getting ready to be, a true sense of liberation came to all three of us when we checked into our Airbnb. Usually a small, less than 1000 sq ft, condo would seem tiny inContinue reading “Murrels Inlet”

I can remember a telephone party line, a busy signal, dial-up internet, and even Fortran punch cards…when will Moore’s Law actually make its way to these RV Park’s WiFi? Sorry, got off track but the reason my blogs are so slow. What a great city Charleston is and what a great time to be hereContinue reading “Charleston”
