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.

The Links at Crowbush Cove


We have a tee time this afternoon at The Links at Crowbush Cove. Squandered the morning watching the Olympic closing ceremonies while having brunch...took the leftover chicken kebobs, sauteed some more peppers and onions for an omelet...topped with some yakatori sauce.





Crowbush is a relatively new course, circa 1993, but has hosted some pro made-for-tv events. It plays from 5010 to 6903 yards with four sets of tees. While it is not a real links course in the traditional sense, it is littered with sand and grass bunkers, a couple of pot bunkers with access ladders and faux gourse. Nine holes have some Gulf of St. Lawrence views. It is very, very pretty and we're not hitting the ball too bad. Only warning....bring lots of balls...the faux gourse eats them up!





We haul out the mussels we bought at the fisherie and try a new preparation that I've wanted to experiment with. Grilling them. Just put them straight on the grill...give them about 10 minutes, serve with melted herb garlic butter. Totally different fantastic taste.
