DAY 44 HORSESHOE, NC

Home again. (In North Carolina)

Time to relax and enjoy some down time.

We have traveled over 3,000 miles and had an adventure that we loved.

God has blessed our travels and provided safety and protection as we explored His creation.

We are already thinking about next year’s adventure.

We are thinking...WEST. Your comments are welcome!

Thanks for coming along with us on our adventure through our blog!

DAY 41-43 OHIO, KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE

DAY 41-43 OHIO, KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE
We found a great Antique Mall in Medina, Ohio. We spent several hours antiquing.

The next morning, when we got to Kentucky, we found another great Antique Mall. We have enjoyed antiquing this summer.

Cumberland Falls in Kentucky was another beautiful and breathtaking detour. We thought we were going to camp there, but the facilities were a little less than desirable. However, the falls were amazing. We have a video of the falls that I tried to upload, but it was too large of a file.

We pulled into Indian Mountain State Park in Tennessee after dark, but at the break of day, we saw that it was quite a nice area. They had many amenities. We knew this would be our last campground before going home, so we just took our time leaving. We did discover that we have a leak in the roof that will need to be fixed, but it is over the shower, so it isn’t too bad.

Beautiful Tennessee

DAYS 37-41 OHIO

DAYS 37-41 OHIO

Most of you will not be interested in our family pictures, so feel free to skim through quickly.

This is our newest great nephew, Leo. He is such a good baby.

Here are his siblings: Mateo, Isabel, Amanda and Alyssa. They were a lot of fun to be around. They really loved getting in the RV.

Marti and I went to the Women of Faith Conference in Cleveland on Friday and Saturday. We were really open to a blessing and surely received it!Downtown Cleveland

We attended her church on Sunday, The Body of Christ Community Church. One of their members created this statue of a sitting Jesus, with His welcoming arms, where people of all ages can go and sit on His lap and talk with Him. It is sitting in plain sight where anyone driving by can see it.
The family gathering on Sunday included Janet’s brother Paul, and her sisters, Phyllis and Marti, and all their family members. Kind of a mini reunion, but only half of the family. We have three more brothers and a sister that live in other states.

Mateo loves his sister.
Payback!

DAYS 35-37 TRAVELING NEW HAMPSHIRE, VERMONT, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO

DAYS 35-37
TRAVELING NEW HAMPSHIRE, VERMONT, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO

The scenery in these states is really beautiful. We didn’t have any specific destinations. We stopped here and there just to enjoy the scenery or take in some of the local culture.

Molly Stark State Park in Vermont was clean and quiet. If we were not on our way to Ohio, we might have stayed here longer.

We did some shopping in Bennington, Vermont. What a neat place. We stocked up on our maple syrup, Vermont cheese, and local fruit and vegetables. It’s hard to see in the pictures, but they have life-sized statues of people in various activities. The two guys reading the newspaper are actually statues! The guy sitting on the steps and the one painting are statues. Once we realized they were statues, we couldn’t find a place to pull off with the RV. It would be a fun place to explore.

As pretty as it was, driving through New York State seemed like it was forever.

We finally reached Ohio and arrived at my sister’s house in Perry.

DAY 35 MAINE

DAY 35

KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE

What an interesting and beautiful place. We had planned to go to Acadia National Forest, but when we woke up this morning, we discovered lots of fog and impending rain, so we changed our plans. That’s what is so great about this trip!

We backtracked to Kennebunkport, Maine. Wow. Seeing the rocks on the banks of the ocean were beautiful.
We went down to the dock and watched the fishermen for a while and saw these cute little boys having their picture taken, so we took it too.







We saw Walker Point where Former President Bush has his home.

We met Chris, an 86 year-old artist from Stuart, Florida. He paints in this area during the summer. He has painted several pictures of Bush’s mansion, and the ocean. His work is displayed in the Bush’s home. Here is his current work.


This turned out to be one of our favorite detours.
