June 1, 2022 – US Coast Guard Retired
Today was Chris’s first day as a retired man, so we filled it with lots of exciting activities: 1. We had an appointment at 9am to get new (retired) military IDs for the entire family. We walked into the ID office and could proceed no further because it was packed beyond capacity (as set by

Our Travel Plan
I’m experimenting with how to add maps to the webpage, but that can get frustrating because I lose the free wifi A LOT (in fact it just happened again as I was writing this). Also, trying to determine what internet plug-in fits my desired end result can get frustrating too. So, in the meantime, for
The Waves in Mayport
While staying at the RV park on Navy Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Florida we have spent an appreciable amount of time each day at the beach.

Charleston Antics
While visiting Charleston, SC this week, we have been lucky to be able to meet up with old neighbors from Pittsburgh. Becky and Tom were our first friends in Pittsburgh and luckily the friendship has been able to continue through their relocation to Charleston. Tonight we joined them at one of their favorite places, Low
Kayaking the Crescent Coast
We took to the water today to explore the Crystal Coast at a different angle. We booked a tour through Paddle NC and shoved off from Hammock Beach State Park. The four of us fit into two tandem kayaks and we teamed up in our old ski lift partnerships. Jack also pointed out that the

The Smokin’ Gun
The tire continues to lose air while we are parked in the campground and it is now time to do something about it. Chris took it off the RV and grabbed a spray bottle of soapy water to see if he could figure out the origin of the leak. Ah ha! The smoking gun! Or
