BBQ Target Style

A pleasant suprise. Target threw a BBQ this week for everyone involved in the remodel. I love being cooked for!!

Memorial Weekend

We have hardly returned to Naples(We were in Cassleberry Fl installing a Starbucks/Food Ave) and we get a 3 day weekend.!!

ohoo! A dog beach!!!!! and not far from the RV Park.

Naples Florida

A summer on the gulf coast should be pretty nice. The beaches are known for white sand and No waves. We are a bit farther from the beach this year at Kountree Kampin Rv Resort. It's a laidback place where the people are friendly and there's a POOL. Of course with us the big determining factor is" are larger dogs allowed as Ariel is ... a healthy girl!

Starbucks/ Food Avenues

Every once in a while Jesse sends us to a different store to install Starbucks/ Food Avenue millwork and equipment. It is our favorite part of fixture installations. You go to different places, it takes about a week( if all rough construction is complete) and the finished product is very satisfying.

Food Avenue.
If we had the chance we would specialize in strictly these.

Back at the Beach

After an all too quick stop to visit J.D. and Cheryl in Mims(we all work for J H Vaughn but on different stores) we are at the beach , last years home when we weren't running from hurricanes. Alot of the same people are here.

Like Scott and Carmie ,still having more fun than 2 people should be allowed.

Shenendoah Valley

We are once again heading south. This time with a few stops to explore underground in the Shenendoah Caverns

and at least a few miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway

Not always the best route for an RV thats towing but man could you see far!

Gettysburg

Say Gettysburg and every kid past 3rd grade knows it was a battle during the Civil War but you have to see it to believe it. It's big! Big in area and big in the numbers of men killed and wounded. It is very depressing but the countryside is beautiful. All green and flowering when we were there with monuments of every size and description dotting the fields.

Washington DC -so much so little time

A girls best friend!! Diamonds..Hope Diamond. We really enjoyed visiting all the museums but there are just so many and 3 days just wasn't enough time. So we skipped the galleries in order to have time to tour the Archives and Library of Congress(what an amazing building...inside and out)

And this little babe is the famous Treasury duck that chose the sidewalk in DC to hatch her eggs.

Wahington DC

Today was filled with monuments and emotions.

Colonial Williamsburg

Carpenters and Coopers are not the same. First builds a structure and the second makes barrels, buckets and such
There was so much to see and not everything was open. The strange thing tho was you could hear the city in the distance but everything around us was no different than a day in 1773. This is just a sampling of my favorites. Carpenters and Coopers. Tailors and Gardens.
An appentice tailor.

So this is Hatteras? Pretty cool Rv.

Of course there are still lighthouses how else would they know where to land.


But we spent most of the day at Kill Devil Hill and the Wright Bros. Museum Tommorow Colonial Williamsburg... Being a tourist is tough work but pretty nice if you can get it.

JUST AS COOL AS WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
A morning walk on the beach.


A ride on a ferry.

A veeery small ferry...and we are here on the outerbanks. Tomorrow light houses and kites!!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!!

We wrapped up the last of the Target store in Myrtle Beach yesterday. OOHOO, Cleaned the Muffin,

I tossed my workboots(abit of a ritual with us)
and said "goodbye" to new friends.


All in all I think the remodel went pretty well but now the fun begins.
We have only gotten as far a Atlantic Beach NC where we found everything to start things out right. A beach for Ariel and we can sleep to the sounds of the waves.

Thats the last we'll see of that ring. She sacrificed it to the sea gods...Good Girl!

PLAY BALL!!!!

Well thanks to Ken Cecil our Able Body representative and his wife Dean

We got to see a double header(because of Thur. night rain-out) last night. What fun! A few people we knew and some we didn't.

Here's Jack our OSR and Splash ! OOHOO!
We had a great time thanks Ken.

IF NOTHING ELSE ACCESSORIZE
Myrtle Beach is known for its golf courses, we know people in Oregon that have come here to golf,but not us. We didn't even squeeze in a round of minature golf but I did score some dandy head covers.

OPENING DAY
It was the season opener for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans and we had tickets. We also had one helluva storm over us. O well the worst that can happen is a rain out. It did.


You can still do other good stuff like a little shopping, have a couple beers and make some new friends.

Properly attired for the weather of course complete with wet suits and snorkels.

WEEEEEEE!
Finally a warm sunny day and some beach time.

THE VERNAL EQUINOX

Start with a liberal portion of the local grape.
And balance an egg... Its Spring ! Dance ! I Love U!

WHAT DO WE DO ?

Well we try to not to disrupt the customers,employees and management of an open store while tearing out every fixture in a store and relpacing it while trying to work with electricians, flooring people.

It all must go to make room for new.

Move signs. Build shleving and install millwork.
We have only a few weeks left and the push is on. We are all excited to see the finished product and take a well deserved rest(or roadtrip in our case)

Lynne's Birthday

It's February 28 and that means only one thing!

It's Lynne's Birthday!

You can't hide from us ....

LynneBday

Happy Birthday Lynne!
We all love you!

A QUIET BIRTHDAY ... I'M PLAYING HOOKY FOR PART OF THE DAY

La Belle Amie Winery

Where there is music and merriment a Parrothead can't be far!
We have joined a Phlock. Yes we no longer fly alone. The Coast of Carolina PHC was hosting a little party at the local winery. To much for us to resist.
A moment of weakness or just the right time. Afterall we do live in the HMS CM2 our land yacht, seeking fun and new friends.

We only hope we have time to get to know them better before we head out.

Phlocks phearless leader.

NEW STATE
The weather was clear and we needed a road trip. North Carolina and Sunset beach was not far. The sand is so fine and dry it squeeks.

MORE TOYS

Just when you thought we couldn't have more fun.... new scuba gear. Pirates and wet thoughts ! What do you think?
