Renfro Valley, KY 2010

Spring Beach Trip 2010

We started this trip the end of March. Our first stop was at Renfro Valley, KY. For years we had passed the signs for this place and never stopped. This is the place to camp if you like music. There is a cute entertainment village, music show barns, the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame at the campground. The artist town of Berea, KY is a short drive away. Many places to shop and things to see. It was early in the season for the music shows so not many people there.

Olde Philly - Liberty Hall

Our New England Tour 2009
Our last stop before heading home was outside Northeast,MD at Elk Neck State Park. This is a great park at the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. While there we decided to go see Liberty Hall, The Liberty Bell and other historic sites in the building of our country. After exploring Boston we needed to see Liberty Hall. The following Smilebox shows many of the historic locations, as well as our travels through the Pennsylvania Wilds.

New York City

Our New England Tour 2009
We joined a Good Sam's tour for a wild week of exploring New York City. Fifteen hours a day of excitement and enjoyment. We experienced famous restaurants daily, toured iconic landmarks, took harbor boat rides, and walked through the different parts of Manhattan learning many interesting facts about the history of the city. Three of the nights we saw Broadway shows. It is a wonder we survived all that. The weather was warm and sunny. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect week or more friendly people with whom to share all the fun.

With so many pictures to share we made a part I and a part II Smileboxes. Part I has about one hundred pictures & videos. It is large so it will load slowly. Yet, the slideshow goes quite fast. Remember you can pause the pictures and view at your own pace.

Mystic, CT Seaport

Our New England Tour 2009
Take a trip back into the history of the sea by visiting the Mystic Seaport in Old Mystic, CT. Many activities were happening when we were there including a weekend of rowing competition, festivals, ship restoration and visiting village attractions. The weather was perfect for stepping back into the era of the sailing ships. If you are ever in New England make a point to visit Mystic. This is the first Smilebox where Mike plays the music on his dulcimer. The recording isn't great, but it is a start.
