East Coast Fall 2024, Charlotte, Part One
October 2 – 8, 2024 We had a relatively short drive to Kannapolis the next day for an overnight at Debi’s house (Joanna’s middle sister) but first we needed make multiple stops to begin closing out Joanna’s Mom’s (Joan’s) estate. This would involve a visit to her bank branch in Huntersville to clean out a […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Durham, Part Two
September 26 – 30, 2024 The next day, Sunday, we set out with Nicole and one of her friends to attend the annual Durham Pride Parade sponsored by the LGBTQ Center of Durham. This long-standing event traces its history to a statewide parade that began in 1986. We arrived at one leg of the parade […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Durham, Part One
September 26 – 30, 2024 Our drive to Durham would take about five hours and as luck would have it, take us through Norfolk right around lunch time. So, we made the easy decision to stop at Doumar’s Cones and Barbecue which we visited in 2003 during a road trip with Bev and her boys […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Gettysburg and New Jersey, Part Three
September 20 – 24, 2024 Once Janet joined us, we drove the short distance to Smithville for our meal at the Inn. The original was built in 1787 by James Baremore as one room on a well –traveled stagecoach route and it may not have been planned as an inn. But houses were far between […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Gettysburg and New Jersey, Part Two
September 20 – 24, 2024 After our long day out at Gettysburg our next one would be low key, centered on getting a bike ride in on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O) and exploring the area around the Airbnb. It had rained overnight so we waited a bit for the pavement to dry before […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Gettysburg and New Jersey, Part One
September 20 – 22 2024 After breakfast with Doug, we hit the road for our three night stay in Sharpsburg at Jennifer’s Place Airbnb (The River Bend Retreat ~ C&O Canal ~ Antietam), located in an ideal spot just yards away from the Potomac River and the C&O Canal. It’s a large and spacious two-bedroom […]
East Coast Fall 2024, KC and Ohio
September 14 – 19 2024 As mentioned earlier, our drive to Kansas City would take about ten hours but would be a bit easier with three drivers as Doug would be with us all the way back to his house in Ohio. We arrived in the late afternoon, losing another hour due to a time […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Cisco Fest, Part Two
August 29 – September 14, 2024 It would take us two days to drive to our next destination, Spearfish, and we split it almost evenly with an overnight stop in Green River, Wyoming. Our lodging that night, the best deal we could find in this small town was at the Little Bear Motel for $119 […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Cisco Fest, Part One
August 29 – September 14, 2024 After some months of planning, Labor Day Weekend rolled around, and we found ourselves back in Oakland to start what would be a two-month road trip to the east coast. Ostensibly, our initial motivation revolved around two separate events, meeting the Cisco’s in Rapid City and landing in Fernandina […]
