Today we moved from North Carolina to a regional park in Virginia, just south of Washington, DC. It is nice to be in a campground, rather than an RV park. It is nice to be back in the deciduous forest of the Northeast United States. It is nice to be in warm weather.
Today after work we headed the The Point, in Emerald Isle. It is a cool, huge beach where the ocean connects with the Intracoastal Waterway. It was a beautiful day today, but the wind made the beach very cool.
Yesterday and this morning it has been cold and rainy, so we have been stuck inside. This evening we took a some time to explore Emerald Isle, a nice island just across the intracoastal waterway from our campground. We found a nice public beach to play at.

Today we drove from Yemassee to Newport, NC. We are staying at a campground that is just across the intercostal waterway from a few islands. It is one last slow week before the DC, NYC, Boston experience.
It was a cool, rainy day today, so we spent most of the day hanging out in the RV. We did manage to get out for an afternoon outing the the Le Creuset factory store, not far from where we are staying.

Today we explored around the area with my parents. Susan and the kids joined then after lunch and I met up with everyone after work. They toured around Beaufort and then we met in Port Royal for a short nature walk and dinner out.

Yesterday Mar-Mar and Be-Bob made the drive from Cincinnati to Yemassee, for a visit. They are staying at a hotel just a few blocks from our campground. They came over today to hang out.
I had the day off work today, so we spent the day exploring the Charleston area. In the morning we visited the Charleston Tea Company, where we had a trolley tour of the farm and then learned about the factory. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at Angel Oak and then head to Charleston to explore the historic city. I think everyone was impressed.
