Dale and I were trying to remember how many times we had been to DC. The first time we were still both active duty Marines stationed in North Carolina. I think this current trip is our fifth. I could write a whole blog on the second trip when he “kidnapped”...
One week ago today, on Monday, we left Lynchburg, Virginia and headed a short distance to Appomattox. Dale and I were very excited to see the place where the Civil War came to an end. What an extraordinary opportunity! Lee’s formal surrender to Grant on April 9, 1865, brought the...
Our second day of travel from Asheville to Woodbridge, Virginia allowed us to enjoy two special parks that provided more history than hiking. Even though we had quite a few hours of driving to get to our next overnight stay, we didn’t rush. We wanted to experience all we could...

For our last Saturday adventure in Asheville we headed 27 miles southeast to Chimney Rock State Park. This was a unique experience because there are several awesome, collocated sights that are easily accessible using trails, stairways and even an elevator! Many movies have been filmed here, including “Last of the...
Earlier this week some friends who are living in Georgia came up for a quick 24-hour visit. We have known Judith for quite a while. She is one of the Harris Family kids, of the Round Rock Harrises. Ha Ha! She and Josh, and the baby, are missionaries! How cool...
