Yarn Matters! My accommodating and very sweet son, JC, drove me to visit two yarns shops in Williamsburg today! It was only about a 30 minutes drive but the traffic makes it feel longer – there is a LOT of traffic here. First we stopped at Yarn Matters. This shop has been open since 2016…
March 8, 2019 – Delmarva Wool and Fiber Expo, Ocean City, MD
No, the ships don’t go through the tunnel!!!! Today I drove from Hampton, VA down across the CBBT (yes, that 17 mile long bridge and tunnel!) up through the Eastern Shore of VA into Maryland. I met Karen, my oldest friend (who I’ve known the longest – since elementary school)!! She is always willing to…
March 12, 2019 – Virginia Zoo, Virginia Living Museum and Jamestown
Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!!! On Tuesday, March 5th, Kara and I went to the Virginia Zoo. I know many people don’t like the zoo but I think they are places to learn about animals all over the world, help people learn about conservation and the extinction of animals and they have become…
February 28, 2019 – Norcross and Virginia Beach, Virginia
Yarn shops are my life!!! Today I headed to the south to visit a couple of yarn shops – one in Norfolk and another in Virginia Beach. First stop was Baa Baa Sheep in Norfolk. The route I followed took me through the historic Lafayette district and other small communities. The houses were quite old…
February 21, 2019 – Famcamp, Virginia
OMG – Is it ever gonna stop?!?!? We have settled in at Famcamp. Unfortunately, it has been raining quite a bit which has made the area very muddy but it is a very nice wooded park. There is a pretty good walking area which we need for the dogs. Past the RV parking is an…
February 16, 2019 – Cape Charles, Virginia
Exploring the Eastern Shore – yep – still closed!! This afternoon the hubs and I set out for a little exploring together. I had noticed a tree lined drive every time I traveled up and down Highway 13. We decided to follow the drive and discovered Eyre Hall, a manor that has been passed down…
February 13, 2019 – Virginia’s Eastern Shore
Even Noah didn’t get this much rain!!! Today is the first day on Virginia’s Eastern Shore that it is SUNNY! After 2 days of waking up to gray skies, drizzling rain and yesterday THICK fog, we have sun but LOTS of wind. At least this place is open!!!! We had…
February 10, 2019 – Cherrystone RV Park, Cape Charles, VA
If you do that, you may pass out!!! Well, after getting started at 8:00 am this morning from our Walmart parking lot adventure, we headed toward our stay at the Cherrystone RV Park. The drive was again fairly easy but felt longer for some reason. The excitement came when we got to the Chesapeake Bay…
February 9, 2019 – Walmart Parking Lot, Dillon, SC
Now this is an adventure!!!! Today we’re off! We had a 2-day drive to the state for “lovers” – Virginia. We deliberately did not choose a park to stay the first night because we wanted to see how far we could get so we could have a shorter (hopefully, easier) second day. In looking in…
February 7, 2019 – Birmingham, AL
What do you mean it’s broke – isn’t it brand new?!?!? We hit our hometown of Birmingham, Alabama today! This was on our travel list for several reasons. We purchased our Reflection at Dixie RV in Calera and needed to have a few things fixed on our rig. The other reason is family! My parents…
