Let the waiting begin
When May 22nd arrived, the Pennsylvania State Parks opened to camping. We had a 14-day reservation at Ohiopyle State Park, located in the southwestern part of the state. After leaving the little campground in Virginia, we were surprised the GPS took us through West Virginia into Maryland, and finally into Pennsylvania. We didn't mind the four-state drive in a day, we were just surprised. We didn't...
Cooking with Connie I'll start off my post by wishing our eldest granddaughter Kaylee, a very Happy 14th Birthday - We love you! This was as far as I got the day I started this post two days ago, but it's an important message and I wanted to share it instead of starting over. Last month I asked if you had any good recipes to share with me. Roxanne LeBlanc shared her Cajun Meatloa...
Over the past couple of months, we've had several campground reservations cancelled on us. We expected this due to campground closures because of the COVID-19 isolation policies. However, recently many states have started to reduce restrictions and many campgrounds (public, government, and military) have started to open again. We still had a reservation at the US Coast Guard station campground at ...
For those who don't speak French (neither do we), this is titled "French Cooking While Isolating". Cooking With Connie My thought was to challenge my cooking abilities every Sunday with a yummy dinner. I managed a few weeks worth since I last posted. I still haven't made the bagels yet. We're still working on eating the other bread goodies I made. I had some leftover puff pastry from Easter...
We originally planned to be in Charleston, SC for 7 days. We've now been here 53 days, following the self-isolation guidelines. We know we're very lucky to have been able to stay at the military campground here, as we have full hook-ups, free WiFi (we don't use it), shopping near by, and are very secure. They closed the campground shortly after we arrived, but they allowed existing campers to stay...
Cooking With Connie Larry and I follow many blogs. We enjoy reading of other peoples adventures and their beautiful photos they share, and we dream that one day we would like to go there as well. But there hasn't been any traveling as of late. No tales from the road, no gorgeous pictures of castles in the sand. These bloggers love to share their experiences, but if they are stuck at home or ...
After arriving at the Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina 22 days ago, the COVID-19 situation in the USA got a lot more serious. After only a few days of arriving, we got word that the RV Park was closing. Soon, other military campgrounds, state parks, and federal campgrounds were announcing that they were also closed. This sent our heads spinning. Since we live in our motor home, we needed so...
Just a quick update... After we arrived at the Joint Base Charleston RV Park, SC, we visited downtown Charleston for a quick visit. We just walked around a historic area of Georgian row houses, avoiding people. Many of the row houses from the mid-1600's have been renovated. It was an interesting walk. But it was the next day that news on the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the USA quic...
These past few weeks haven't been very exciting. No sightseeing for us. While waiting for RV service, we've mostly been working on our software development for a client. They made some last-minute changes and the software has to be ready for delivery by mid-April. Staying put ended up being a good thing and we're back on track for an on-time delivery. While we only planned for a one week stay, our...
I've been playing around with creating and editing videos. In addition to this Blog, I thought I might try making some more videos of our travels and experiences while living and traveling full-time in our motorhome. We'll see how that goes, and hopefully they'll get better. So here's Episode 1 of The Happy Wanderers videos. Let us know what you think of the idea on making travel videos.
