Camping at Anchor Down RV Resort

We have been camping for several years now and mostly camping close to home if it's just for the weekend. This time we ventured out a bit further and camped at Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge, TN. It was over 3 hours drive and 185 miles. It's nice to be able to make this trip and…

The End of Summer Camping

Labor day weekend marked the end of the Summer for us and we were fortunate to be able to go to the beach the last few years. This year the tropical storm came through Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area and we weren't sure if we would be able to make it. The storm came through…

Year in Review 2014

We celebrated our New Year's day January 1, 2014 at our local temple Wat Greensboro. Since I'm part Chinese, we celebrated Chinese New Year at my Dad's house. The year of the horse is a year of optimistic, and I truly believe that success will come to those that are willing to work hard. As…

Camping Weekend

This was our first camping trip this year, the weather is cool during the day and cold at night. My dad didn't particular care for this lot since it sits on the hill, but Easter weekend was packed and we're fortunate to get any spot at all. I told him it's a good exercise, not…

Camping Weekends

We went camping on Memorial weekend, and also the weekend after. The Memorial weekend was cold and the campground packed with campers.  It really gives you the feeling of what camping is all about. I think Lee is enjoying the camping life more this year in comparison to last year. Max loved camping. I'm not…

Camping Weekend

It's nice to comeback to a familiar place and if the woods could talk it's probably would greet me with a smile and ask where have you been Nye? I didn't know you hibernate like the bears. This is my first time seeing an antenna looking like an outer space craft. The mountain flowers are…

Fall Camping

Last Saturday we went camping and the leaves start changing colors up in the mountain. The weather is cooler in the morning and at night. This time of the year is a perfect weather for campfire. The Green Mountain campground will be closed for the Winter and many retired campers are heading South to Florida.…

Pirateland Campground in Myrtle Beach Day 3

Click here to watch this video on YouTube Monday was labor day, and also our last day at the beach so I got up early to see the sunrise.  We headed to the other side of the campground, I knew the sun rises in the East, the same spot as the moon risen the other…

Pirateland Campground in Myrtle Beach Day 1

The disadvantage of living in the Foothills is that we live so far away from the ocean, and we could only plan our trip on a long weekend. Last Labor day weekend we tent camping at Emerald Isle, and this year we decided to head to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  It was a 5 hour…

Weekend Camping

We have been spending a lot of time camping this Summer.  It's actually a short Summer for Lee, she went back to school last week and being able to spend more time at the campground is good for her. The weather is cooler in the morning, and at night especially up in the mountain. These…

Camping the Weekend of July 4th

This is the last set of photos from our vacation.  After we came back from camping at Shenandoah Valley Campground we headed to Green Mountain Park in Lenoir, North Carolina, which is closer to home.  We were fortunate that the weather was nice the whole time that we were there. July 4th week is the…

Camping at Shenandoah Valley Campground July 1 to July 3, 2012

[vimeo https://vimeo.com/45951122 w=515&h=290] Click here to watch this video on YouTube I'm a bit behind in my posting, we went camping after we left the temple Sunday morning.  We got there around 2 pm and we were told that they didn't have power and running water.  The power went out about the same time as the…

Second Weekend Camping

My dad survived living by himself at the campground for the whole week, in fact I think he loved it there. We joined him again last weekend, I think camping is more fun when you have a good company. The next week or so will be extremely busy for us, I hope to bring back…

Gone Camping

We took our dad to camping on Father's Day weekend and he decided to stay for another week.  I don't blame him for wanting to stay longer because I didn't want to come back either, life is more laid back and relaxing at the campground. We have a nice spot this time.  It is nested…

Camping at Green Mountain Park on Memorial Weekend

I'm glad I made a reservation early for camping at Green Mountain Park on Memorial Weekend because the place was packed this weekend. We didn't get to camp near the creek this time, which gave us the opportunity to camp in different sections of the campground. They had a spot open when we checked in…
