Before leaving Sault Ste. Marie, we toured the Museum Ship Valley Camp. The Museum Ship Valley Camp was built in 1917 and retired in 1966. After 1966, the 550 foot long freighter was permanently docked on historic Water Street and transformed into a museum. The Valley Camp offers more than just a tour of her deck. Visitors can explore the wheelhouse, sleeping quarters, and her cargo hold which now...
Time is passing by fairly quick, although we haven't been doing much other than relaxing. Isn't that what "not traveling" and enjoying a winter break is supposed to be about? Our traveling friends, Bob and Joyce Childre, have a "sticks and bricks" home about 90 minutes from here. We met these friends in the Arizona desert about 12 years ago. Since then, we meet up about every 2- 3 years and ...
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 ...
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...
Connie and I are still enjoying a relaxing time at Patrick AFB, near Cocoa Beach in Florida. While the weather has been mainly in the mid-70's, it still feels humid to us. We may be wimps, as we run the air-conditioning most of the time. Not for the heat, but to ward of the humidity. The windows being closed most of the time also wards of the many flying, evil, biting insects. We don't have many m...
The grass is starting to get high around the wheels of the motorhome, as we're still at Manatee Cove Family Campground at Patrick AFB near Cocoa Beach, Florida. We've been here for the past 3 1/2 months, with two weeks left before we start our 2020 traveling. The weather has finally cooled off into the upper 60's. We're even running the heater most mornings now. But the bugs continue to keep attac...
Yep, this Blog is a little late! I wanted to wait writing it, so I could include our latest adventure. But first, let's start where we last ended. While staying at Patrick AFB, we took a day trip with a bunch of new friends from the RV Park to the nearby Navy UDT - SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida. This UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) and SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) museum was great! Before there we...
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.
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...
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...
