Travels

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is, the Florida State Parks are a fabulous place to spend the winter in an RV. The bad news is, every RVer on the planet knows it.

On October 1st, we were in Michigan preparing to head south after spending a phenomenal Summer along the Great Lakes. By November 1st, we were in North Carolina discussing whether we should call it quits and settle down.

From the very first time we set foot in Nashville, we were hooked. The music, the food, the architecture, the energy, the history...we loved it all. So, when we had the chance to head back for a third visit, we were immediately on board.

Asheville is one of those places everyone seems to love; an artsy, young, progressive enclave full of interesting businesses, excellent cuisine, and creative breweries, all surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

While we would love to spend more time in the D.C. area, the prohibitive prices of local campgrounds require us to keep our visits short.

The Flight 93 Memorial, located in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, is a beautiful, painful, and jarring tribute to the victims of the September 11 attacks.

The last stop on our six week tour of Michigan was in the southeastern corner of the state.

Our time in Western Michigan was full of fabulous views, delicious cuisine, copious amounts of booze, and some fascinating history lessons.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan contains 29% of the state's land, but is home to just 3% of its population.

As a general rule, we dislike overly touristy places. The minute we see trinket stores, souvenir stands, and fudge shops (sorry... I mean, "shoppes"), we start looking for alternatives...
