For those of you interested Only in TRAVEL, I (Jack) wrote the blog between MARCH 2010 and October 2010 during our travels west. We saw the most beautiful places and had the best time in our big truck and little trailer. See Blog Archive below.

Where Have We Been?

On Highways and in bed too tired to blog.

Today we were in Nantucket. What a beautiful place, and a lovely ferry boat ride over and back. They have many benches only feet apart so I walked between them, took pictures, and sat down to rest. The day was beautiful--perfect degrees and clear, beautiful, blue skies. Marie is younger and very able so I told her to enjoy the day and walk to see what she wanted to see. As I was sitting on one bench I thought, "Who would have thought that I would be in Nantucket without Rich? He would have enjoyed the ferry ride and people watching."

Tomorrow we will spend in Cape Cod so I can rest one more night before continuing up the coast and so Marie can see 6A which she was told is a great drive out to the end of the peninsula.

I'll make all you RVers happy. I HATE having to go in and out of motels. I like sitting outside in the evening by a fire and having everything in its place in my trailer. Those days are over for me so advise you all to enjoy them while you can.

I do have some good news, though. Susan's puppy was born, today. Big litter of 12 puppies; 7 males and 5 females. We don't know which one is hers, yet. She has been waiting for a long time and her main criteria is temperament. The Mother and Father are beautiful dogs so some of the puppies will be show quality. Susan is just happy to have a healthy dog with a good temperament like Lizzie and Jack had.

That's about all I can think to say. I just haven't been moved to blog. I can't really say what's wrong with me. The pictures are only a taste of what Nantucket is--just what I expected--very, very pretty and so quaint. I had hoped to see more.

How nice of him to spread his wings for me



Reminded me of Charleston Gardens

As I took this picture I thought, "How beautiful it must have been on the island before telephone wires and signs

Was I standing on a hill?

  1. Know what you mean about staying in a Motel Room. No Freedom but it is an alternative way of traveling.
    When I'm driving Kathy is the Photographer and there are times she doesn't feel like taking pictures.
    That's a lot of Puppies.
    Be Safe and Enjoy your trip.

    It's about time.

  2. After our trip to AZ to exchange boats, if I never see another motel room again, I'd be happy. But I also know there will come a time when we will still want to travel but can no RV and so motels will come back into play. Hope its not for a few years yet. Love your pictures. But I can totally understand not blogging. When we get back to AJ I won't be blogging hardly at all. Just living. Ever think about coming to AZ to visit?

  3. Your pictures are lovely. I'm so glad you went but really wish you could find a small RV to drive so you could have your campfires that you so much want. Perhaps no towing?

  4. What gorgeous homes, I love the old so called cottages and the Victorian style of others. I don't think I would enjoy all that hotel stays but at least you are seeing and going. Take it easy so you can enjoy all the beauty of that part of the country

  5. So happy to see you traveling, even if it's without your RV! And of course your pictures are outstanding. We hoped to have done that same trip this past summer but fate stepped in and said, not this year dear! So things in life are always in flux. My challenge is to learn to take it in stride! I'm not very good at that. So keep on traveling however you can! Hugs, Karen
