DELAWARE.... the FIRST STATE....Amazingly there is a LOT of open natural spaces in this little state! Cape Henolpen state park.... Downtown Dover.... Victor/ Victrola museum







MARYLAND... enjoying a grape UP soda on Ego Alley, Annapolis;  there was the finish line for the across America Bike race... quite the exciting Chesapeake Bridge for the RV....






VIRGINIA At Virginia Beach.... monster hibiscus!! Stayed at The Colonies RV park in the Monroe Fort area.... tunnel driving view.... Ha Ha Ha, "Hows my Driving??"









WASHINGTON DC... Did Freedom Boat Club at the YARDS marina in DC, and helicopters swarmed like bees... also learned what a schmuck Tucker Carlson is from the dock guy at the club.






ALEXANDRIA.... at Gadsby's Tavern, did a tour to learn that this place hosted both Washington and Jefferson.... also we went to a church that was 270 yrs old and had the original pew that was rented by the Washington family.

New Bern & Cape Hatteras NC

Few days in New Bern.... were OK, then on to Rodanthe in the Outer Banks (OBX) near Cape Hatteras- which was FANTASTIC. Movie NIGHTS IN RODANTHE filmed here with Richard Gere.

Did some fishing and caught a couple of speckled sea trout....


Beautiful Beaches all around.... but HOT- wait for the sun to get close to horizon....

Visited both their lighthouses- including the largest in USA- which they boldly MOVED upright - on a track- over half a mile to a new spot to save it from the encroaching seas!!!


Took the free ferry to Ocracoke (veggy-soda island) to see the home of Blackbeard.....

An unusual sign advertising ??? something..not sure what???? at Ocracoke..... left Bill a bit puzzled-

Checked out the Alien Space ship in OBX.....


Ventured to Kitty Hawk to witness the historic spot the Wright Brothers did their thing....
