The Traveling Ducheks

  • Ashville, NC (April 18)

    We visited the Moses Cone House. It was not open, so we just walked the grounds. I remembered going here when I did my trip with Mama, so I really wanted Ed to see it. The first photo is the house, the second is the horse stable. This is such a beautiful place! I convinced…

  • Boone, NC (April 17)

    We left Floyd and headed on down the Blue Ridge Parkway for day 3 of our adventure. We stopped at a town called Meadows of Dan to visit Nancy’s Candy’s….guess who was the driving force for that stop? LOL! We found this bench next to this gas pump funny…have a rest while this slow pump…

  • Floyd, VA (April 16)

    We headed out on our second day of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Stopping along to enjoy the vistas and short hikes. We knew this would be a 1/2 day, as we wanted to see Floyd, VA and it was not far from where we began the day. We stopped at a Mill on the parkway…

  • Roanoke, VA/Blue Ridge Parkway (April 15)

    We officially started our trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway. I traveled this parkway many years ago with Mama and it has always been a fond memory. I am excited to share it with Ed now. We saw fun stuff and beautiful views on our first day! We visited Natural Bridge and did the hike…

  • Staunton, VA (April 14)

    We drove to Staunton, Virginia and stopped at the welcome center and the Covington Covered Bridge. I will forever have a love of covered bridges. I don’t enjoy driving over them when it is necessary, but I love to see them and appreciate their beauty. We went letterbox hunting up a road-type that Ed and…

  • Beckley, WV (April 13)

    We stayed in Beckley just for the night at the Holiday Inn. We did visit Tamarack Craft Center. It was a cool place! Lots of interesting things and many were handmade items made by West Virginia Artisans. There was a letterbox at the information desk that I was able to get logged. Headed to Staunton,…

  • Columbus, OH (April 7-12)

    While traveling to Columbus, we happened upon Uranus, Indiana. Of course, we HAD to stop! We are ALL about the cheesy roadside attractions! It was a fun time! LOL! As Ed had an appointment in Houston, we decided to book the Staybridge Suites in Polaris, so that we could have a kitchen and a more…

  • Martinsville, IN (April 5 & 6)

    We moved to Martinsville, Indiana for a couple days. We needed some downtime, so we just hung out in the hotel. I did some watercoloring and we walked around downtown a bit. We visited the Free Little Art Gallery in LaFayette on the trip down and then the one here in Martinsville after we arrived,…

  • Portland, IN (April 3-4)

    After dropping off the RV, we stayed in Portland, Indiana for a few nights at Holiday Inn. It was a nice stay. We drove around and explored. I always enjoy Amish country. There is a certain peacefulness about it. On April 4, we went letterboxing. We visited Annie Oakley’s gravesite and We then went to…

  • Bluffton KOA (March 30-April 3)

    Moved to Bluffton, Indiana today. This is the last campground for a while. We will be emptying all the contents of the RV, and I do mean ALL the contents, to storage. The RV has to be completely empty for the factory to do all the repairs and framework. So, all we did was pack,…
