Beautiful fall weather this weekend! Johnnie and I spent Sunday and Monday at Assateague State Park. We wanted to camp in Assateague Island National Seashore but there were no available RV sites. Assateague State Park had plenty of sites, even some with electric hookups. We took a site with no hookups so we could be [...]

Johnnie and I spent two days and one night at Belleplain State Forest. Just an overnight trip that was restorative and relaxing. When we got home, it felt like we had been away for days!!
Belleplain was quiet on Sunday and Monday. Johnnie and I were the only campers on Monday in our section of the park. [...]

I have been pouring through my photos from my August vacation to Arizona. They are great photos (to me) of family, friends, places I enjoyed visiting, and our RV. I take far too many photos and then usually just leave them. When I share them with friends, they then have to sit through multiple shots [...]

During our August trip, I spent a morning at Tohono Chul Park in Tucson, AZ. The park is in a most idyllic setting at the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. I did not have a chance to visit all of the park but that will guarantee a return visit! I did visit the Children’s [...]

I bought a new camera and lenses earlier this week and needed to practice using the equipment before vacation in three weeks. Yesterday was a beautiful day with few clouds and blue skies — perfect for trying a number of the options on the Canon Rebel SXi. I have been to Historic Smithville Park for [...]

I love October in Belleplain State Forest (NJ). The maples, elms, oaks, sassafrases and hickories (among other trees) change colors. There is always some reds, last year there were amazing shades of red. This year the maples turned red, but orange seems to be the dominant color. the temperature must not have dropped to the [...]
August Trip: Destination 4: Acadia National Park, Maine — and more photos

One of the places that we visited was Somes Sound which is the only fjord on the east coast. When I think of fjords, the example in geography was from Norway, not the east coast of the US. From the view point, I could see that Somes Sound was a long cut into the island. [...]

Nova Scotia is beautiful. From the moment that we crossed into Nova Scotia and the Welcome to Nova Scotia sign and the welcome center, Nova Scotia regaled us with its beauty.
We stayed at the North Sydney/Cabot Trail KOA in New Harris. The KOA is at the base of Kelly Mountain (you climb 240 meters in [...]

Kouchibouguac National Park was great! From an RV standpoint, it was phenomenal. The sites in the South Kouchibouguac Campground were long enough to back in our 40-foot motorhome, have space to park our Jeep and plenty of room to spare.
We spent four days at the Park and barely scratched the surface of all there was [...]

Johnnie and I both take photos when we travel, but we have different approaches to the camera. Johnnie likes to organize and compartmentalize the photos onto specific cards and to take only a certain number of photos. I take whatever catches my eye on whatever card is in the camera and download what I want [...]
