Jeffrey and Anna

Merry Christmas! We hope you have a joy-filled and peaceful Christmas and a hopeful and encouraging New Year! We have been so blessed this past year to spend time with friends and family, travel, and explore new hobbies together. We are thankful that you are a part of our lives and can explore all the…

October 11-14, 2024 *Names have been abbreviated for privacy Friday, October 11, 2024 We left after work on Friday at 4:01 which is definitely our best time yet! I had pre-made some “Subway” sandwiches at home and packed them for the road. We had been in touch with the friends we were meeting, and we…

September 20-23, 2024 Friday, September 20 Over a long weekend in late September, Jeffrey and I had the chance to finally check out New River Gorge National Park! We started our trip by driving to Tygart Lake State Park after work. It was a fairly small state park in Grafton, West Virginia, but it did…

August 30- September 2, 2024 Friday, August 30, 2024 After work, we frantically packed the van. With the two of us, we did it in about an hour and a half. Not too shabby. I also packed a dinner for us to eat once we arrived at our campsite in Ohiopyle. Dinner was a grilled…

Friday, July 12, 2024 – Sunday, July 14, 2024 We left after work on Friday and made our way to Duncannon, PA, to one of the most interesting “campsites.” It is basically a little valley that is flanked by the river on one side and an active railroad line on the other, with trains going…

July 2-7, 2024 Tuesday, July 2, 2024 Jeffrey and I left after work, around 5:00. We were hoping to install a new radio before we left, but unfortunately things did not pan out and work as we wished, so we ended up bringing the new stereo with us to try and install later. (Ours had…

June 23, 2024 Ohhhhh, Congaree. For the very short time we visited you, you took us through the ringer. Leaving us with not only memories, bug bites, and sweat, but the promise to never return again. When we were originally planning our trip to Florida, we decided we wanted to sprinkle some camping in along…

Friday, June 14 Jeff and I took off right after work (4:45) for Alpine Climbing Campground outside of New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. We got there around 9:30 and set up our tent on the platform among the trees. We hadn’t camp-tented in a couple years, so it was kind of fun…

June 16, 2024 After spending the night at a nearby Hampton, Jeff and I decided to take our first day of vacation and explore Universal! To be honest, I was a bit wary of Universal. For as much as I love travel, I equally hate thrill rides, and most of the rides at Universal fit…

Thursday, May 30, 2024 After work, we quickly got everything ready and hit the road! We enjoyed paninis along the way and took in the beautiful scenery of the drive. The trip toward central PA is always so pretty; there are so many beautiful overlooks, windmills, and, at this time of day, sunset views. We also…
