While staying in Virginia, we had the opportunity to visit Colonial Williamsburg. Not once, but 3 times! It should say a lot about this location that we found so much to see, do, and learn that we kept going back. Colonial Williamsburg is unique among the other historic sites, museums, and living history locations we’ve been to in the past. While Camlann in Washington was an immersive experience, it was
While we stayed in the historic triangle of Virginia over the summer, we made our home base at Camp Cardinal RV Resort in Hayes, Virginia. Interested in everything we did in Virginia?

On our last day touring Washington, DC, we toured the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. This was the day we elected to try the Washington, DC train system as it was a weekend day and the fare per person was only $2. However, since it was the weekend, it also meant that we had to contend with the weekend crowds. This was a bit of an issue at the Museum

So while staying at the Pohick Bay Regional Campground, we made several trips across the Potomac into DC. On our first trip, we checked out the Monuments and Memorials of Washington DC.

The National Air and Space Museum was one of the best-organized air and space museums we’ve visited. While not as expansive as The Houston Space Center or The Museum of Flight, one thing that the National Air and Space Museum can brag about is the sheer number of historic relics. Most large air and space museums will have models or reproductions of the Wright Flier. This museum has the actual

Pohick Bay Regional Park Since it was a several-hour drive from Camp Cardinal to Washington, DC, we instead stayed at the Pohick Bay Regional Campground. This busy little park was laid out much like the state parks we love so much;
While we were visiting Washington, DC, we wanted a place that was a little closer than Camp Cardinal. Lucky for us, we were able to get a spot at the Pohick Bay Regional Campground, in Lorton, Virginia! Unfortunately, we were so busy exploring Washington, DC while we stayed here, that we didn’t spend much time here. We can say that the campground is clean, well-maintained, and very busy on the
Mom here, to talk about our experiences using different shower wipes. Yep, you read that right: we don’t always shower every day. Especially when we’re boondocking and need to conserve water, we often use one of these wipes to clean the important bits daily, and only shower every couple/few days.
