Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

World Golf Village

I'm so glad to hear from so many people who seem to be enjoying what we are doing...it's great fun....keep 'em coming!

Finally got my toes in the sand this morning for a terrific walk on the beach. Came across several rays who had gotten in trouble, but the tide was still coming in so I think they were able to get back out to sea.

This RV park is definitely not the high road, but the beach access vaults it up on the ratings scale. We're trying to stay ahead/behind of bad weather, so we picked St. Augustine to do inside things. Have wanted to go to World Golf Village and the Hall of Fame since it opened. Frankly, if you're in the area, I'd say go ahead and go...don't make a big side-tour for it. It's fine, but not really up to snuff. The best part is the store...dropped a lot there!


After leaving that complex, we were hoping to tour/shop the city of St. Augustine. Pouring rain, headed back to Gigantor. Stopped at the light house just to take a photo. Rick has been taking water color classes and thinks his genre might be lighthouses.
Off to St. Lucie in the morning. Golf course on the premises. Hopefully Rick is up to it. If not, I think I might do it by myself.
