10/21-23/20 Elizabeth City & Belhaven NC

Going to Elizabeth City was interesting as it was one of the places Kent was offered when he transferred out of Florida. Cruised past the blimp storage barn. That was when we moved to Peachtree City.

Belhaven was a blast as we happen to be parked next to a “whole hog BBQ cook off”! The tastes and smells were amazing! Reminded us of our NASCAR trips with all the smokers, campers, and friendly people! We ended up buying 5 lbs. of smoked pork! Yes, we still have some in the freezer! The sunset was Amazing, another evening where it just kept getting better!

10/15-16/20 Yorktown VA

Such a Great visit with Katy and Matthew! Thank you for showing us around Yorktown and Williamsburg! Beautiful spot! Enjoyed some lovely wines, coffee and pastries at ye olde Mobjack Coffee Roasters. They had a lovely area of historical buildings; some are still in use and others just to enjoy the architecture. Had a great hike in the Colonial National Historical Park Archeology where we saw the cave General Oliver Cromwell hid in, during the end of the Revolutionary War in 1781. The town was hosting a farmer’s market with presentations by the American Revolution band. Leaving in the York River was an exciting trip with the wind and current whipping up!
