Aurora Around America Ep. 17

We spent some time in the Fort Myers / Punta Gorda area of Florida over the winter. Aurora wanted to try something new and we found a great beginners quilting class at the White Daisy Quilting Shop. It was a brand new business to the area and Cheryl was excited to take Aurora on as a student. I have posted a link to the Quilt shop and class Aurora took.

We stayed in Auburndale, FL at the Cabana Club Rv Resort. Right next-door is the Elite Cable Park. It offered the kids a chance to try some water sports and they jumped at the opportunity.

Elite Cable Park, Wakeboarding

The kids had never been wakeboarding and this was a great opportunity to give it a try. The Elite Cable Park employees were fantastic and so were all

Fall 2020 we took a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Finally drove past Craggy Gardens, we always stop and hike it, and ended up at Mount Mitchell. What a drive! Beautiful colors, great overlooks, amazing blue sky, it was the perfect day. This is about 2 hours of GoPro 8 video edited down to 5 minutes. It was tough to choose. Enjoy!!

We also hiked Mount Mitchell and that will be in another video soon!! Here is a quick video we took at the top.

Friends joined us this week and we were able to reconnect with their family. We hiked Catawba Falls near Black Mountain, NC and showed them all about what we are doing in North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a fantastic couple of days.

Life changes and we have been spending a longer time in the same place. With all of us busy during the day it is nice to find a quick get away for a couple of hours. Soco Falls and Waterrock Knob are two hikes within 30 minutes of our campground. Both are great for their own reasons.

Summer cools fast in the mountains and we wanted to get one more swimming day in before the cooler temps. Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Waterfall in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Pisgah Highway would provide a great end to summer.

We have been on other natural waterslides in PA

Square Root Restaurant in Brevard, NC

The Other Side of the Smokies

We recap our first week on the North Carolina side of the Smoky Mountains. We drove down to Cataloochee Valley and watch the elk. We baked some pies from scratch and headed to Deep Creek Smoky Mountain National Park and went tubing down the river. To make it even more exciting we strapped a GoPro to the tube so you can experience the tubing with Aurora! Enjoy!!

Best of Pigeon Forge and Smoky Mountains

We have spent many weeks in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains and we just love the area!!! After spending a full month we wanted to express our thanks to our favorite business and recommend our favorite hikes. This is one of our longer videos but there is so much to do in the area we try to give you a head start on some of the great dining, entertainment in Pigeon Forge and hiking in the Smoky Mountains.

We own a Coachmen Apex 300BHS and our bathroom fan went caput. We decided to upgrade to a larger fan and we discuss that choice. I also show how quick and easy it is to install this fan. The video is 12 mins, but it took under an hour. We are happy with the upgrade, I just wish it wasn't so ugly. We got our fan from Camping World and it took almost a month to ship but it was during Covid.
