May 10th - We boarded up our Matlacha, Florida house for the summer and headed North! We plan to return sometime in October.
A quick summary since then: We visited dear old friends in Greenville, SC and then headed to Durham, NC. We stayed in our neice and nephews home in Raleigh, parked the trailer in their driveway and explored this new area. Margie joined us for four fast days and we all looked at homes and found one she liked! The house will be 20 minutes from Margie’s new job in the Duke University Hospital in Durham which she is slated to start mid September. It’s been quite a year for her and it’s not over yet, but we couldn’t be prouder of all her accomplishments. We found we loved the Raleigh/Durham area a lot more than we had expected.
Next we spend a week at Lake Gaston, to avoid Memorial Day holiday traffic and read a lot of good books on our tablets in our air-conditioned trailer. We enjoyed exploring the Lake side community.
Next we spent 2 nights in the Pohick Bay Northern Virginia Regional Park campground which was wonderfully wooded and convenient. We put the trailer in storage in Lorton, close to Fort Belvoir while we are now staying with George and Melissa for 10 days. Margie is spending the last few months in VA while she finishes up her preceptorship at Mt. Vernon Inova Hospital in the TBI unit living in Montclair, close by. We love these special times when we can all be together!
More to come as we head up to NY to visit johns family and then head out west in 1 month on 1 July.
