Docking the river, VA

My grand parents took this picture....Andrea's looks like she's flipping em off in this pic.
After days of food and games, candy factories, swimming pools, a zoo, and a dinner date at a nursing home.. Were flipping pancakes with a massive spatula in Virginia. And the weather still hasn't warmed up..

Huck Finn Mission up the river. Have always wanted to do a long river trip in a canoe or homemade float. It would be cool to spend days on the water, just watching the views pass by on a water road. 

You would have some crazy experiences. We did this raft trip for just a few hours and the raft got stuck in the mud, the paddle broke, and we almost got pushed out to sea. i was sweating it a little bit..haha.

Family Meet and Greet

Sunrise Sleeping in the "Promised Land State Park". For some reason the name makes me think about all the people that lived here before all the Euro's came over and killed/chased them away.
   Seemed like the Native North Americans really appreciated and respected the land...Which is a bummer because the settlers just started building New York City.....Yuck.














Drove to Hershey, PA to hang out with the Grand Parents. Classic family time playing games and eating some good food. Andrea is a master of the kitchen.

Took the tour of the hershey chocolate factory..Not the real factory but a fun ride either way.. they had some talented singing cows, and a bunch of candy everywhere. Go Pro doesn't take a low light photo, but the grand parents got the classic roller coaster photo..

Hitting the roads without a plan

Steep your Tea..

Been looking forward to doing the big trip in the short bus, or "Sherman", with it's new paint job. Always doing everything last minute because its the only place to find the time. And then January 1st Mother Nature and I hit the road with  a no plan plan.


We drove less than one hour and made it to Chucks for his New years party. No dancing but everyone was in good happy spirits and enjoying the company..
Some partied.

some partied too hard

thank you to everyone hanging out in the bus. always love having a bunch of people in here.

the next day we drove less than an hour again....

Perfect.
