Sadly, our time with our Jersey family is over. We are excited to go see our friends and Bruns County community... but it sure is heart breaking to leave our loved ones. Like RR says we need jet packs :). Wow ! We've had a blast up here and we did a lot!!! Lady Liberty …
We took one last New Jersey field trip yesterday to see Washington's Headquarters in Morristown. During the Revolutionary War, the Continental Army encamped each winter and in 1777 and 1779-80 Morristown was General George Washington's choice.

Well we thought that our week in the Smokies would be our last adventure in Woody for 2019 - but plans changed. We couldn't bring Woody to the dealer to get his things fixed until today (instead of last weekend)....so this week we stayed at Jellystone in Tabor City. The kids (and Mommy) were super …
After Montreat and the Biltmore ..... on Friday we finally were able to check off AB's bucket list item for our travel year: Horseback riding! All that rain Wed and Thurs brought in a cold front and it was 33 degrees Friday morning when we left for the stables! Elsa had visited the tops of …
