“I can see why low cars bottom out,” Ron said as we maneuvered the Outback over the first of many bumps. “They said ignore the “No Trespassing” signs.” Feeling apprehensive as we passed several on our climb up the narrow, tree-lined road riddled with bumps, Ron’s words calmed me a little. The owners said you…

Lancaster 2024
“We’re not turning around!” Ron ended the conversation before it started. Just past 8:00 a.m., on I-64, minutes from the house, I discovered that I left my battery for my hot glue gun at home. A half hour before we left, I had the brilliant idea to make cloth angels during the drive to Lancaster….
Tenth Anniversary at OBX Campground
“You’ve been coming here for ten years,” Cindy said when she called to confirm our weekend reservations and bill us. “Yep, you’re the first campground we visited when we started RVing. Weekends in OBX are the reason we bought the camper.” Not until Cindy said the words did I realize how long we’d made the…
Birthday Weekend in Laurel
Leaving at 12:25 for the 3 1/2 hour trek to meet Easton, I can hardly wait. They’ve given him the nickname Squishy, and I can’t wait to squeeze him. Thankfully, we had little traffic and started across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel around 1:30. Wind made the waves choppy, but we didn’t feel it in the…
Labor Day in Mt. P
“North Pointe, here we come,” Ron said as he clicked the driver’s side front Jack into place on the Atlas, the last thing we needed to do before heading south to Mt. Pleasant to spend the weekend with our Life Community Church family. Driving halfway on Thursday makes the eight-hour RV trip less taxing. We…
Naylor’s Beach Campground
“Is this Beth? This is John from Gettysburg Campground. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but we have to cancel your reservation because of flooding.” When I received the call Wednesday morning, the day before we left for our anniversary trip, my heart sank. Hurricane Debby decided to travel up through the Mid-Atlantic,…
Trap Pond
“Good news, it won’t be that hot this weekend,” Ron said, coming around the back of the trailer and checking the electricity. Checking into site A27, we quickly discovered that the 50 amp electricity didn’t work; however, the 30 amp did. Since we needed to run the A/C to survive, the lesser voltage would suffice,…
Fourth of July
“Newport News Park has sites open,” I told Ron on Tuesday, July 2nd. We didn’t have plans for the fourth. Friends had invited us to their place in Hatteras, but we didn’t have a dog sitter, so we decided to find someplace to camp. Newport News Park won the vote, and Ron booked us site…
Canaan Valley Resort Girls Weekend!
At 7:51 a.m., I posted my sale video for Honest Reflections, then started this post before starting my car and heading towards Canaan Valley Resort to meet my lifelong friend, Lori, to celebrate our 55th birthday together. “Our moms were pregnant together,” I like to tell people. Born almost 6 months to the day apart,…
Memorial Day Weekend in Mt. P
“The KOA called; we don’t have to move sites.” Ron’s words made me smile. When we planned our trip, we only booked our site through Sunday for some reason, but when I agreed to speak at Life Community Church (LCC) on Sunday, we knew we needed to add another night. Unfortunately, they only had a…
