Dec 20th Road Trip to Lakeland, Fl

We drove to Florida today and will spend Christmas with my Mom. Express trip down and we'll take our time returning poking around along the coast.  More to follow.

Dec. 18th New Bern

Dec 8th we flew to NH to pick up the van. Stayed 2 nights with my sister and brother-in-law. Visited with family and friends, it was a short stay so our visits were mostly with family. Left the 10th to drive back to New Bern, took 2 days for our return trip and enjoyed a leisurely drive through Pa to avoid all the big city traffic.
We'll be driving to Lakeland, Fl the end of this week to spend Christmas with my Mom, not exactly sure how long we'll be gone. We'll be doing some exploring on the way home. We are still very happy with our decision to stay here in New Bern, what a great city to spend some time in. And, now we have a car here to do some exploring.

These bears are all over the city, this one is outside the farmer's market. Yes they have a farmer's market year round we look forward to going on Saturday mornings.

 

Nov 30th Arrived in New Bern, NC

We're in slip C11 at New Bern Grand Marina, we've made the decision to stay here for 3 Months. Just need a break from cruising on the boat. We'll be headed to NH to get the Van and do some cruising in that. It's 11 hrs by car to my Mom's vs at our pace at least 11 days by boat.

Arriving in New Bern on Nov 30th



New Bern Grand Marina just ahead.

 Dec 1st Christmas Parade will be starting soon downtown, luckily Urban Renual didn't hit this town. Like all small towns just a lot of people enjoying themselves.

 Boat parade in the evening, these are a couple of boats getting ready for the parade.

Just one pic with lights, my camera didn't do a very good job with pictures at night.
