Nashville, TN!
Sorry for the late update. Yesterday was a fun filled day! We drove to the east side of Nashville, where there is a bike path that connects three parks. It also roams between two rivers, the Cumberland and the Stone. It was in the nineties, and high humidity, but when your bike is moving, it…

Cookeville, TN
We are in Cookeville tonight. It’s been a great day! After breakfast we drove to Oak Ridge, TN and found a park that was on relatively high ground. There were flash flood warnings, and we wanted to be safe! We got to go on an hour long walk. The sky was cloudy when we started…

Today we went to church in Mt Airy, NC Yesterday when we were riding our bikes, some people were out handing out cold bottles of water. They were wearing red t-shirts that said servant on them. We decided we should check out their church, and it was a really good experience for us. We drove…

Mayberry, NC
We spent the day in Mt Airy again. First we rode our bikes on a local trail. It goes along the banks of the Ararat River. It’s actually a combination of trails that all link up. We got about 18 miles in. The weather was pretty nice, 82 degrees with the humidity at 65%. It…

Columbia, SC + Mt Airy, NC
We spent last night in Columbia, South Carolina. Columbia is the largest city in SC, and it’s capital. We started the day in Jacksonville, FL. To leave Jacksonville we crossed the St. Johns River on the Dames Point Bridge. It’s really beautiful. I’m still amazed at how many rivers there are on the east coast!…

Melbourne, FL Part 2
We started back up the east coast of Florida today. This is the first time we have started shortening the distance to our home on this trip. We drove on Florida A1A, which is the continuous road closest to the ocean. The views of the ocean are still somewhat rare. There is a row of…

Ft Lauderdale, Part Three
We never made it to the ocean today. After a relaxing morning at home (Sterling and I were relaxing, Jim had chores to do), we drove to a really cool park where we walked around. The first area we went to had jungle like trees and plants growing. Jungle like is not the right word…

Ft Lauderdale, Part 2
Today we got to go on a bike ride near the Everglades. Here are some pictures. It was beautiful. The birds we saw were too far away to tell exactly what type they were. But the pink ones may be roseate spoonbills, and the two white ones may be wood storks. We also rode to…

Ft Lauderdale, FL
We are visiting my brother and his family in Ft. Lauderdale. We got here on the 3rd of July, yesterday we celebrated Independence Day! 250 years! We got to see the fireworks. We haven’t watched fireworks for many years. Our last two dogs were afraid when the loud booms would start. We always stayed home…
