September 30, 2022, we arrived at Cherry Hill Park (RV Park) in College Park, Maryland. This will be “home” for eight nights as we spend a week exploring Washington, DC. What a gorgeous park! It is immaculate with wonderful amenities, although we only visited the indoor hot tub one rainy evening. We attended the 4PM… Continue reading Getting Ready to Explore Washington, DC

Mid-Manhattan & Top of the Rock
We finished the walking tour of Central Park, had lunch at Columbus Circle, and are now ready to continue exploring NYC! The Mid-Manhattan walking app conveniently started right here! The pillar has three bronze protrusions that represent the three ships on Columbus’s famous voyage: the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria The glass building… Continue reading Mid-Manhattan & Top of the Rock
Our “Stroll” through Central Park
The above picture with the horse-drawn carriages around Central Park is what I thought Central Park basically was. I knew it bigger than what is shown in the picture, but I had no idea how vast and encompassing it was. Truly amazing! We began today with the walking tour of Central Park via our “Action… Continue reading Our “Stroll” through Central Park
NYC – A FULL Day!
September 28, 2022We had our first subway experience today. I was nervous about finding the right train to get us where we wanted to go, but it went well. We walked about 5 blocks from Liberty Harbor RV Park to the very nice PATHS NJ subway system/NYC subway system. It seem newly renovated, and was… Continue reading NYC – A FULL Day!
NYC – Arrival: Statue of Liberty
September 27, 2022After a stressful drive of only about 56 miles, we ARRIVED in Jersey City, NJ at Liberty Harbor RV Park which is just across the water from NYC! Make sure if you come here in a large RV that you follow “All trucks – Use UPPER LEVEL”! We met someone after we parked… Continue reading NYC – Arrival: Statue of Liberty
Overnight at NY Costco
We ended up driving a bit further today than originally planned. Unfortunately, Walmart, Bass Pro Shop and other typically RV-friendly businesses did not allow an overnight stay in Connecticut. At least not along our route. I began calling places further down the road till I got an approval at a Costco in New York. It… Continue reading Overnight at NY Costco
A Day Trip for Lighthouses
We left in the Jeep today to check out several lighthouses. We didn’t know what to expect, but we wanted to see as many as possible in this general area of Cape Cod. There was some disappointment, but one was also totally awesome. Message is loud and clear. You won’t catch me in these waters!… Continue reading A Day Trip for Lighthouses
Martha’s Vineyard
Originally we wanted to go to both Martha’s Vineyard AND to Nantucket Island. Nantucket supposedly has trails/bike paths all over the island, but the weather for the ferries did not cooperate. We did not make it to “Nantucket, so …__ __ .” The weather DID cooperate for going to Martha’s Vineyard on September 24th. You… Continue reading Martha’s Vineyard
Nobska Lighthouse – Peters Pond
We had a short travel day to Sun Retreats Peters Pond (Previously KOA) in Sandwich, Massachusetts. We had a nice site with easy in and out access. (NOT near the water.) Peters Pond is a 136 acre spring-fed great pond. Weather isn’t going to be the best while we’re here. We will be having some… Continue reading Nobska Lighthouse – Peters Pond
Cliff Walk -Newport,RI
We took some “down” time for a couple of days. We played some pickleball with the great people at Onset Park, enjoyed a little beach time, BBQ fresh oysters on the BlackStone one night, then had fresh scallops the next night. It was nice to relax around some evening campfires. On September 19, we took… Continue reading Cliff Walk -Newport,RI
