We left Memphis and spent one night in Jackson, Mississippi on our way to Shreveport, LA. We stayed at Barksdale AFB for two nights. The bomber planes flew over head during the day, but thanks goodness they were in their hangers at night. On our way to Shreveport we took a side trip to West Monroe, LA where we went to the Duck Commander shop where Duck Dynasty is filmed. We ran into Willie Robertson and we took our picture with him. He was really nice. While in Shreveport we went to a place called Herby K's for some shrimp po' boy sandwiches. It was in an interesting part of town, but the food was pretty darn good. Then it was off to one of the casinos. Joe won a little, but I didn't do as ... read more

Our day was spent visiting Graceland. While I have never been a person to go gaga over Elvis his Graceland and contributions to society were amazing. I hope you enjoy the pictures I took along the tour.... read more

After a quick drive through the rest of Maryland and then Delaware we finally made it to Williamsburg, Virginia. We had decided we would explore Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown and Virginia Beach. We visited Colonel Williamsburg which is a replica of things from the past. In Jamestown there is the archaeological site where they are digging up artifacts. It was interesting to see the real spot where things were. Then there is Jamestown Settlement which is like Colonial Williamsburg. Fun things to see and do there. We did the driving tour of Yorktown so I really didn't get any good pictures from there. The day we went to Virginia beach is was sunny and warm. The boardwalk and beaches are gorgeous. I can see why people go there in the summertime. I hope you enjoy the pictures. ... read more

Today was our last adventure in New Jersey. We are hoping to get our washer fixed tomorrow so we can head out of here on Wednesday. We headed to the beach in Asbury Park and walked the boardwalk for the last time. All of the shops and restaurants were closed and it was nice to not have any crowds. The foliage pics were taken around the campsite. The leaves seemed to have changed last week and this week they are all falling off the trees. We say goodbye to the east coast for now, but I am sure we will be back.... read more

We spent the day in Atlantic City. It was cold and a little windy but we still had a good time. I even took some $$ from the Caesar Palace Casino. They say it's a city that is dying and we totally believe that is true. Several of the hotels and casinos have closed or are not looking so good inside.... read more
