We promised our kids we will be going to a park after school. When we started the drive (20 min drive) it was bright and sunny with a black rain clouds in the distance. As we approached the park it started pouring. The rain was lashing hard on the window that’s when we decided to visit the BMW Zentrum Museum since it was not far from the park. I am not crazy about cars but this is a fun place to visit with kids, (especially on a rainy day). They don’t have that many cars in there but what they do have is very interesting. We saw some cool antique cars, motorcycles and latest models as well. Amazing how technology has progressed. We checked out the Gift shop and then grabbed a snack at the Café. ... read more

Monday March 5, 2012 Huntington Beach SC SP to Myrtle Beach Travel Park, SC Windy Windy Windy!!! OMG was it Windy. Did I say it was Windy? My rig was rocking and rolling and I wasn’t even moving!!!! Up reasonably early, and couldn’t even walk on the beach. The sand was blowing like drifting snow. Took a shower in the bathhouse and packed up awaiting the 11:00 departure to view Nancy’s bicycles. She wasn’t ready until 11:30, and that was making me annoyed, as I wanted to be on the road. I didn’t ask some pertinent questions which would have saved me the aggravation, but both bicycles were men’s, and I can’t get my leg over a man’s bike, so I reneged on both. She was very disappointed, as she really wanted my TV. She was ... read more

Saturday March 3, 2012 Late last night I watched 3 families of Asian American’s pull in and set up their tents. Lots of adults, lots of kids. Oh boy, are they going to get wet. Winston woke me up to go out around 6:30 this morning, and good thing he did. No sooner did I get back to the rig after walking him around 2 loops to make sure he pooped than the skies opened up. It was very strange watching the sky – it was like being in a hurricane. The campground was underneath a band of shower clouds. To the east, over the ocean was sunny. To the west, more inland was sunny. We were under rain. Needless to say I did not walk to ranger station to use internet. Tim, Gret, Ben & ... read more

Monday February 27, 2012 Brunswick GA to Hunting Island SC NOTE TO MY READERS: My internet connection is very slow - snuck on to a neighbors unsecure. I don't want to upload all my pictures, will get them on Monday or so. Monday: I snuggled in around 10:30 last night to watch the last of the Oscars from the comfort of my bed and that was a mistake. I woke up at 11:30 to see that George did not win best actor. Too bad, he’s so cute. Oh boy did it rain last night. No wind, no lightening, but steady, heavy downpours all night long. Amazingly Winston stayed in his bed on the dinette, about 3 feet from me, all night long. He doesn’t jump in with me ever. He does wake me up in the ... read more

Wake up at the campground after sleeping in the car, white truck pulls up and dude starts shouting. Too early, what does he want. Ticket? Hanging on the mirror, plain sight, is this really necessary? Wrong campground, eh? Seemed like a good idea last night. This spot is for overflow only, noted good sir, carry on. I'm leaving soon anyway. Lay back on the seat, listen to the birds chatter. Five birds, same calls over and over. Does it have different meaning based on timing, or volume or something else my untrained ears are missing? Maybe they're just very adamant about the one thing they have to say. "Good food here. Good food here." Maybe "Ladies, check out my set up." Driving through Charleston, been in the car too long, need to stop and stretch the ... read more
