For our final day, we decided to see the city we have spent the last four days encircling. I hated the idea of driving the truck into the city and trying to find parking for it, so I found the bus schedule. We were in luck, because Charleston has made all the buses free for […]

Tom, Becky, and Langley were our neighbors in Pittsburgh. Becky was the first friend I met when we moved there. We both moved onto the street in the same month (we even looked at buying each other’s houses), and were looking to find a new friend. Kismet A year ago, the Dearings decided that they

We left Camp Lejeune today and headed to Kure Beach, further down the North Carolina coast. However, we made a stop before we left the town of Jacksonville, NC at Collins Welding Service. Mr. Collins was confident that he could fix our messed up bumper and ensure that it wouldn’t happen again. First step, cut

Therefore, it was a perfect coincidence that our first camping spot was a great location to watch the longest lunar eclipse in a decade. I kept everyone up late and at 1030pm we tromped out to the beach to watch the Moon move into the

It was forecasted to be a dreary, rainy day today, so we decided to spend the time exploring the local area in the truck. People have talked about the beauty of Emerald Isle for years, and since we are only 30 minutes south, we headed up to check it out. I looked up some other

Heading down to our first overnight enroute to Camp Lejeune, NC. We had reservations at Weldon Mills Distillery in Weldon, NC for a free overnight of camping in their parking lot. Side note: Weldon, NC is the Rockfish Capital of the World. Too bad we aren’t staying long enough for Jack to fish. South of Richmond,
Today we checked out of the house we have lived in for five years. The house that saw our kids grow into teenagers (ish) and form some of the closest friendships one can have in life. The check-out was something I have been stressing about since before we gave notice a month ago. We decided
