Jay, Charlie and Military Maxi departed Cambria (on the Central Coast of California) early on Saturday morning, June 10th. Notice the “package” on top of the tow vehicle? You’ll see more of this later in the trip, but it’s a special car top tent from Cascadia Car Tents. When the guys get further north, there will…
Ireland!!! (And Canada?)
Our last personal blog was in Fall 2021! But we're traveling again -- first to IRELAND in May and early June 2023. Then within a few days of returning home, Jay and his buddy Charlie are taking off in an epic Model A tour to the Canadian Arctic Ocean in June and July. (No --…
FINALLY — THE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!
YAY! Glen and Adina met us in Cleveland, TN, on Friday night, Sept. 10th, to begin a weekend full of anniversary celebration. First, they surprised us with flowers and appetizers before the first of several anniversary meals! Saturday, September 11th, is now Patriots Day – a day of remembrance of the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001. Legion friends…
Returning to Tennessee for Our Anniversary
On September 9th, we left Jack and Carol in Athens, GA, to return to Tennessee. We decided it was too long of a drive to go all the way to Cleveland, TN, where we were going to meet Adina and Glen on Friday, so we spent an evening in Lookout Mountain, TN. We stayed at…
Two Anniversaries!
We arrived at Jack and Carol’s new home in Athens, GA, on September 6th. And Amy (the guitarist) came to visit from Tryon, NC, so we had a guitar fest on Monday! Lots of fun and lots of music, but I totally forgot to take photos of the musicians… Jay, of course, settled right in with his…
More Anniversary Fun
On September 3rd, we were up early to take the coast road (and two ferries!) down to Wilmington, NC. If we were “normal” people, we would have gone inland and driven for 4 hours, but we are COAST people, so we took the scenic route down the Outer Banks and spent 11 hours getting to our…
Anniversary Adventures Continue…
We left Williamsburg, VA a little bit wilted, but ready to arrive in Currituck County, in the extreme northeast corner of NC. The word “Currituck” means “Land of the Wild Goose.” Currituck is currently known for the wild horses that roam the beach, but the area actually earned its name due to its early population of…
Fifty-Five and Beyond!
September 11th is our 55th wedding anniversary, and we started planning this trip three years ago. Best laid plans of mice and men… We went through the planning stages four times for separate cruises, each of them cancelled by Covid. We finally gave up on the cruise idea, and settled on a road trip! We started by flying into…
We’ve Come Full Circle
I forgot to show you last night’s luxurious hotel in Sheboygan: Today is our last day of touring the Great Lakes, and by the end of the day we will have come full circle. We had a morning tour of the Kohler Manufacturing plant in the town of Kohler. No photos were allowed inside, but…
Snow and Football
The Great Lakes Model A Tour is approaching it’s end. This is the 20th day of the tour, and we started driving south. We have had relatively good weather… At first, we had pretty warm weather, then we had periods of rain, but still not too cold. Then, suddenly, the temps dropped. On the first…
