Days 12 & 13, June 3 & 4, 2023 We said goodbye to Charleston and drove approximately 2 hours to arrive in Savannah, GA around 11 am this morning. Savannah is a place that I have wanted to see since I was a teenager and I read the book Midnight in the Garden of GoodContinue reading “Savannah”

Days 10 & 11, June 1 & 2, 2023 Charleston is a charming city. Really, it is charming. You see old-south architecture, flowers blooming out of windowsills, plus the harbor waters all around. So far this has been my favorite stop on the trip. We arrived in Charleston at midday yesterday, giving us just enoughContinue reading “Charleston”

Day 9, Wednesday, May 31, 2023 Today was a day full of rest & relaxation. We never even left the campground today. I must say, that is a big advantage to staying at state parks, your “entertainment” is built in. Johnny & I started the day with a sunrise walk on the beach with Ona.Continue reading “Sunrises to Sunsets”

Day 8, Tuesday, May 30, 2023 Today was a travel day, after 5 nights parked at the Charlotte Motor Speedway campground we were finally moving on to the second part of our vacation. The next few days will be spent sightseeing our way down the South Carolina and Georgia coast as we visit Myrtle Beach,Continue reading “Swamps & Beaches”

Day 7, Monday, May 29, 2023, Happy Memorial Day! We finally got to watch the race we traveled so far to see, the Coca-Cola 600. PLUS, we got to watch the 300-mile Xfinity race. Yep, that is a total of 900 miles of racing. It went down in history as the most miles raced inContinue reading “900 Miles of Racing!”

Day 6, Sunday, May 28, 2023 Today was supposed to be race day BUT, the rain got in the way again. We knew from the minute we woke up today it was a possibility that the rain would delay the race to Monday but we were still holding out hope. I think we spent theContinue reading “Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!”

Days 4 & 5, May 26 & 27, 2023 The last couple of days have been a mix of super busy and then super relaxing & then super anxious & then doing it all over again. I guess that’s what you get when you are at an event that is outside and therefore completely reliantContinue reading “History Meets Modern Day”

Thursday, May 25, 2023 Today was the day JB has been looking forward to the most. We got a behind-the-scenes tour of Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and it did not disappoint. For those unfamiliar with NASCAR history, Dale Earnhardt raced for RCR for most of his career and he won 6 of his 7 cupContinue reading “We Geeked Out!”

Travel Day & Arrival Day, May 24, 2023 We made it! We arrived at Charlotte Motor Speedway around 3 pm this afternoon. Again, we were thankful for an easy, no-issues, travel day. We left our campground by 6:30 am, knowing that we’d be crossing time zones and would lose an hour fairly quickly. We startedContinue reading “We’ve Arrived!”
