This was a bit shorter than last year due to Andy recovering from minor surgeries. Nevertheless, we made good use of our time. Utah was new for us, and we enjoyed the 5 "rock" national parks, each unique in their own way. Despite our valiant (including buying bear spray) efforts, we still got skunked on seeing bears - again!
After spending time in MD seeing family and taking in high school football games for grandson Vince, we decided to go to Delaware so we could add that to our list of states. We stayed at Masseys' Landing, and went sightseeing in Lewes (the first city in the first state), and Dover.
The bridge/tunnel is the Chesapeake Bay tunnel bridge. The tunnels are listed as 13'6" high. Our antennas did brush the ceiling of the tunnels a few times. We were both glad when we were done with those and very glad we didn't have any bad problems. After getting through the tunnel it was on to Charleston, SC. This is where we got married and a trip there wasn't complete without a trip to the gazebo at White Point Garden where we had our wedding ceremony.
A bit older and grayer but still in love!
A good shot of the gazebo, site of many weddings!
In fact, there was a couple waiting to get married while we were there. Of course, we had to go over and tell them this was where we got married and wish them good luck.
On the way to FL. we stayed in the Wilmington, NC KOA. There we met John and Trish, fellow Tiffin owners. They are originally from England and it was a delight to meet them. Seems wherever we go, the Tiffin "family" is present.
St. Augustine is familiar to us, and there is comfort being in a place you've been before. We'll be here until the end of the year.
