Melbourne, FL
Here we are about halfway to the southern tip of Florida. We passed Daytona Beach and the Space Coast. We considered stopping in and checking things out, so our adventurous spirits must be waking up again. We finished our drive, and headed to a library again. This time the library was right next to a…

Jacksonville, FL
We spent yesterday driving to and hanging out in Jacksonville. It’s a big city with lots of freeways. It was pretty hot again, so we found a library and hung out there. Libraries have had a very positive impact on my life. I remember as a child loving to look through all the books. One…

Beaufort, SC
We are still in South Carolina, on the coast. It’s still hot, but today we went on a bicycle ride anyway! We rode almost 13 miles. My Garmin watch said it was between 90 degrees and 99 degrees. I’m not sure what the humidity was. My watch always reads a little hotter than it really…

On the Road Again
We started driving again today. We stayed close to the coast. Tonight we are sleeping in Pawleys Island. It is a small town on a barrier island of the same name. Unfortunately the temperature has been in the low nineties, with humidity in the 50% + range. So we didn’t spend too much time outside.…

Still in Wilmington, NC
We are still in Wilmington, visiting our son. It’s been nice to get our clothes all washed, and the car cleaned up, somewhat. Also it’s beautiful here. Sadly we haven’t spent a lot of time outside. The heat and humidity has been hard for us to take. I had a migraine yesterday. I think it…

Wilmington, NC
I’m so sorry for not writing sooner. We made it to Jason Torrez, and I just got busy! We have been reuniting with Jason, and he has been showing us around. North Carolina is a really beautiful place! Yesterday we went to the beach! We stayed up so late we got to see the sunset!…

Roanoke Rapids, NC
We made it to North Carolina! It’s 90 degrees, feels like 93. I’ve always wondered how they determine what it feels like. What it feels like to who? We all have different experiences of weather. The mother carrying a toddler is going to think it’s much hotter than a little old man, right? On our…

Fredericksburg, VA
We woke up in Pennsylvania this morning. On our way to Fredericksburg, VA we drove through a bit of Maryland, into West Virginia, and on to Virginia. So we have been in four different states today, without being in Four Corners! We considered visiting our nation’s capital, but decided we would rather stay focused on…

Harrisburg, PA
Today we drove south to Harrisburg. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state with so much green, at least in June! Here are a few pics of the countryside. We found another great bike path today and got an 18 mile ride in. The weather was beautiful! This area was a lake that had been filled mostly…

Scranton, PA
Today we started driving south-ish. We are heading for Hampstead, North Carolina. We drove to Scranton, PA today. This is the birthplace of Sterling’s mom, Naomi Elizabeth Hess-Torrez! She was a wonderful person that I didn’t get to spend much time with, as she passed away just a few years after Sterling and I got…
