Fabulous Friday at Hunting Island......

We know the titles are corny, but its o.k.  Our day here at the beach has been just great.  Rob and Jackson took a long walk around the campground and out on the beach this morning.  Then we all loaded up in Truck to ride into town for a Food Lion stop, then sight seeing by Ft. Fremont.  

Ft. Fremont was a Spanish-American War era coastal defense installation.  This was followed by a stop by the local seafood docks.  The menu for dinner will be sautéed shrimp and pasta with Parkerhouse rolls.  

Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy from today's adventures.

Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T,&J.

Terrific Thursday at Hunting Island......

Happy Thursday.  We had a great day.  We did a little shopping, a little sight seeing, and even visited a bit with T@B friends Carrie and Alan.  Check out their blog on our list.  

Here's a few pictures for you.  Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T,&J.

Well We're Here......

And where is here?  Why Hunting Island State Park close to Beaufort, SC.  We had to postpone leaving Wednesday morning so the last bit of a winter storm could march through.  

Then traffic, oh my gosh, the traffic on I-95 south.  The backups started 20 miles from I-95 on I-26 east.  All of this combined to putting us here on the edge of dark.  

We did a minimal set-up, got in the pod and had left-over turkey sandwiches for supper with coconut cake for dessert.

 Rob is used Trisha's new iPad to blog, so if they if the posts look a little strange the next few days you will know why.  Until tomorrow here are a few pictures.  

Until next time, stay safe out there....-R,T,&J.

Here's Wishing.....

You and yours a very
Merry Christmas from 
Rob, Trisha, and Jackson.  

No matter where Christmas Day finds you,  we hope Santa finds your camper!!

If you travel near or far, stay safe, stay sane, and enjoy the passage.

If your camping, like we plan to be, may the weather be kind and the snow not too deep.

But most of all we wish everyone a most joyous holiday season.

Just remember, don't wait up for Santa (you know who you are!)


Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T,&J

Christmas Shopping, Oh Bother.....

Hi there, we hope this day finds everyone healthy and happy.  We decided today would be our Christmas shopping expedition day.  So after a quick breakfast, showers, and a trip to the grocery store by Rob, we set out.

Out stops included, Belks at Carolina Mall, Lowes in Kannapolis, Super Target at Afton Ridge Shopping Center, the Starbucks in the Super Target, and finally Best Buy.  We managed to get all but one of the gifts for the people on our list.  After we returned home, Trisha took off to Belks in Salisbury where she finished this last little bit of shopping.  

While Rob does do online shopping for his family out west, every  year we just have to go out and find the perfect gift for those of us here in North Carolina.

We're not going to tell anyone what they got, but here is a picture of all the items we bought today.  Sorry, but for all you sharp eyed viewers, the ipad is Trisha's.

Now there was no way we could make Jackson wait until Christmas for his present.  It is a furry squirrel toy for Jackson to kill many, many times.  (Yes Becky we were thinking about you when we bought this toy for him!)

Now Rob is exhausted from all this Christmas fun, so he is off to take a nap.  Anyone want to guess what Trisha is doing?  Until next time, stay safe out there....-R,T,&J.

Christmas Decorations for R&T's Pod....

Hi guys, it's R&T's Pod here today.  I'm so excited because I am getting to make today's post.  Now for the longtime readers of this blog, you may remember my POST from last Christmas where I got all those neat Christmas presents.  If not, just click on the link and you can read all about them.

I don't imagine I'll be getting much in the way of Christmas presents this year, but that's o.k.  I am going camping on Dec 26th for five nights at Hunting Island State Park, SC.  That should be fun.

This year though, Rob and Trisha did decorate me for the holidays. Now I am really excited about getting decorated.  I think it makes me look even niftier.  

Here's a picture of me in the daytime, check out the sparkly wreath on my door and the cute little Christmas Tree on my table.

Even my driveway got some decorations too....

There here's a picture of me at night, all lit up....

Don't I look just grand!  Even Truck got a Christmas wreath too.  It looks festive, but I'm not sure I'd care to have a Christmas wreath hanging on my nose.  But Truck is just tickled pink about it.  Check it out....

I even got to "decorate" the blog for Christmas too!  Thanks for checking by today.  We all wish you and yours a  most joyous holiday season.  Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T,&J.

The Festival of Trees.......

Happy weekend everybody.  As you may remember from older posts, Rob is on the Board of Directors of The Arc of Rowan County.   This weekend is their signature fundraising event, The Festival of Trees.  It is their ninth year doing this, and it always turns out great.  Rob has been busy all week helping to get ready, and last night was the preview party prior to the opening of the event.  At the preview party were tree sponsors, decorators, and Board Members.  

To get you started in the holiday spirit, here are some sights for you to enjoy.....

Thanks for checking by today.  Have a great weekend!! Until next time, stay safe out there...-R,T,&J.
