We are here!

 

Now to find that cute, little marine biologist!

The jaunt to Cape Cod took us through the beautiful fall colors in the Northeast 

and also to some interesting Harvest Host stays. Our first night found us at Wildside Winery in Versailles, KY.

We were pleasantly surprised to find a couple of nice wines that pleased our palates. Most of the wines we have tasted east of the Mississippi River, due to the moisture, are too sweet for our tastes. While Wildside has a nice selection of sweet wines they also import grapes from the Lodi region of California to make pleasing dry wines.

Yes, we were there on a Tuesday.

On our way to the Eastern Seaboard last fall, we stopped at Lambert’s Winery in Weston, WV.

 

We had a lovely time so we did a re-visit this year. As we tasted wine, we watched the devastation from Hurricane Ian on TV as it hit Florida. We felt our host, Debbie’s, anguish as she watched the neighborhood of her winter home wash away. Nevertheless, she was gracious and had a fire built for us.

 

Next stop, Pfisterville near Frederick, MD. (That would be the home of our good friends, Juanita and Greg.) Of course that meant we had to pay a visit to Flood Zone (not to be confused with Dry Ground.)

Meandering our way through Maryland and Pennsylvania, we arrived at a Harvest Host in Staatsburg, NY.

Camping next to us

were a young couple with a 6 month old baby on their inaugural RV trip. We had a most pleasant visit while drinking beer and listening to a band at the brewery.

Since we were so close to Hyde Park, it seemed appropriate to drop in for a visit with Franklin and Eleanor.

We experienced a bit of adventure leaving New York (we still don't understand why Ms. Garmin thought it a good idea to leave the highway.)

Still we found the Harvest Host golf course in Rhode Island.

We were anticipating a delicious lobster roll in their restaurant. Unfortunately it was a cool, windy day that did not bring out the golfers, so they closed the restaurant early. We pulled some vegetable soup and cornbread from the freezer and settled in to watch a movie.

Not all was lost as we were able to check RI off our map!

 

45 down, 3 to go!

We found her!

Now for a fun week with Alison showing us around Cape Cod!
