Abbeville Louisiana; Betty’s RV Park 2018 Year 2

bettys rv park

This is our second time down to the southern Cajun country in Louisiana.  The small town of Abbeville has some of the friendliest people and the best food.  And they like to have a good time!  They have festivals going on every few days.  We went to two festivals over the first weekend after arriving, including the world famous Omelette Festival.  We have been so busy having fun that I may need a few days to just rest up!

New Orleans; The Big Easy Experience

New Orleans LA

New Orleans is not your typical tour.  The city has so many different facets that it must be experienced, not just visited.  Our travel is all about experiencing the journey as we don’t have an end date at this time.  It just so happened to be on our route to Texas this year and the city has been on our list of destinations from the beginning.  Our first time here!

Meridian Mississippi; An Industrial Town From Another Era

We are continuing our trek southwest to spend the winter in Texas and have spent three days in this mid-sized southern town of Meridian, Mississippi.  General Sherman burned most of the city down during the Civil War.  After the war it was rebuilt and was once a booming industrial town located on a railway hub growing many large businesses.  In the 1950’s and the decline of the railway industry the town fell into a depression and is still working on the recovery.  We did find a few places to explore… Continue reading “Meridian Mississippi; An Industrial Town From Another Era”

Nashville TN; Music City!

The featured photo above is the stained glass from the Upper Room.

The last few days in Virginia required a move to another campground, the Wytheville KOA, due to the Ft Chiswell location was full up for the additional days we were required to stay for a dental appointment.  Many RVers on the way to Florida on either I-77 or I-81.  The KOA was a decent RV park and included a 6-lane bowling alley.  That was a new one for us!

Not a good score, but some good fun and exercise.

A famous eatery in Wytheville, so the sign says.

Then we relocated to Sevierville Tn, a fun town, but we only had one night due to the delays leaving VA.  The traffic in Sevierville is horrendous.  Especially when driving the truck/camper combo.  Then it was on to Music City! Continue reading “Nashville TN; Music City!”

Goodbye Virginia (for now)

pat and tammy

We have now relocated to Nashville Tennessee after having delayed our departure twice.  Maybe we packed too much into our stop at our former home area.  Each delay causes me to shorten the stay at our next two stops and forfeit some camp fees.  That is the downside to all the advance planning that we do.  Although it has been a great time with family and friends and that has been very special.

A Few Extra Days in DC After the Wedding

washington dc

Washington D.C. is a large city at 6.1 million people in the metro area and is the 7th largest in the US.  It is a very large city and has more things to do than any other city (my opinion).  And most of the major attractions are free!  This was our 3rd visit in the last two years.   We get to visit with family and see tons of stuff.  It is always a great time!  This time we attended our son’s wedding and then stayed a couple of extra days. Continue reading “A Few Extra Days in DC After the Wedding”

Quick Trip To See The Moms

The featured image above was the sunset in Hendricks County Indiana that greeted us!

We have now been at our old hometown in Virginia for three weeks.  The long list of action items is coming along quite well.  It has been a busy and somewhat stressful three weeks as we are rushing to meet some deadlines.  One of the things that we wanted to do while in Virginia is a quick 500 mile trip to see our moms.  So, we rented a car, packed a lunch and took off on Tuesday last week!

Fort Chiswell, Week #2

DVPC

The featured image was taken at our DVPC church at sunset.  We are staying at the Fort Chiswell RV Park, near our former home town of Christiansburg, VA for a month before getting back on the road.  There are dentist appointments, RV work, a complete sort through all of our stuff, a new car to buy, family and friends to see, and a wedding to attend.  We have accomplished much at about the halfway point, but still more to do!
