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.

A Lucky Find

After leaving the Kennedy Space Center, we wanted to get a couple of hours of driving behind us before we stopped for the night. We hadn't reserved a place because the trip home was going to be rather free-form. If the beach is your thing, as it is ours, Bevery Beach Camptown RV Resort in Flagler Beach was exactly what we needed for our last look at the ocean.

This place is not fancy ... there are no acoutrements whatsoever ... but who needs it with this at your doorstep.


We take an evening walk on the beach, grill a steak and just continue to look at the view.



We awake the next morning to a picture perfect day ... and just can't leave!

Spend a wonderful day at the beach and the fisherman decides to give it another go, this time in the surf. No fish were harmed!


During a beach break, I slather some baby back ribs with BBQ sauce and pop in the oven at about 250 degrees and let them bake for about 3 hours while I go back to my book and the beach. For dinner, we'll grill them a bit to crisp them up. Serve with some corn on the cob, baked beans and a terrific watermelon and feta cheese salad.


We spot a dolphin pod really close to the beach. The fishermen hurriedly pull their lines in and they swim gracefully by, even fully breaching the water occassionally. A very good show.

An evening beach walk ends a near perfect day. We really have to leave tomorrow though!
