On to Maryland we went, staying with friends (K & C) who were both in our wedding. They move pretty frequently for his work so we were happy to get to spend time with them. Some highlights included The International Spy Museum, Mount Vernon, exploring the D.C. area (with C […]
Our next stop was with friends we know from a homeschool co-op we do who had moved to Virginia a few years back. They have chickens and cows (actually a cow and her baby bull and heifer), so the kids and I had a blast with the animals. We even […]
Our next overnight was with Richard’s buddy Harry (a.k.a. “Rod”) in Virginia. They both attended the same boarding school in South America and had been roommates off and on from the age of 6 all the way through college! As the wife of a missionary kid, I have learned that […]
While we would much prefer smooth sailing, we have been awed by God’s ability to provide and protect in unexpected ways as we have encountered several bumps in the road. I’ll list some examples here: *April 6: The aforementioned “stair injury” when we left the stairs to the main door […]
I’m sure we provided good entertainment as we arrived at Hanging Rock SP. We were one of the few camper-campers (as in, not tent-campers) at the park, not to mention a 35-foot camper. As we circled around to scope out our spot, we found that in order to get into […]
For this Boondockers Welcome spot, we were near Buffalo Mountain Natural Area Preserve (As a side note, I’m so behind in blogging that when I checked Maps to make sure I had the exact name of the preserve correct, I realized that we are now over 15 hours away from […]
Just a quick note to say that we intended to publish blog posts in a more frequent, timely manner, but have been incredibly busy! We had several stretches where we only spent one night per location, plus some…ahem…”adventures” that weren’t of such a fun variety. More on that later, but […]
Rain and other delays caused us to have to overnight behind a Cracker Barrel (A lot of them allow campers to do this; you just call ahead to make sure it is okay). Richard had planned to take the whole day off because we had tickets to see Ark Encounter […]
Our next stop was to see “Aunt Jill.” Richard’s parents were missionaries in Colombia. There weren’t a lot of educational opportunities where they served, so Richard went to boarding school in Venezuela starting at age six. The kids there lived in dorms and the couples that took care of them […]
We spent two nights near Clarkson, KY boondocking at T & R’s place. We parked in a grassy area near their house. We enjoyed talking with T and playing with their cute German Shepherd, Reina. R was super-helpful with some camper questions we had and even went out of his […]
