Things to Do in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, NC with Kids and Teens

October 10, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

Our England/Ireland trip was the big event of our summer, but we also got a chance to visit one of our other dream destinations: Greensboro, North Carolina. Okay, if I’m being completely honest, we were really in Greensboro because our 16 year old, Milo, attended music camp at UNC-Greensboro. It’s about five hours from home, so it made […]

Falls Lake State Recreation Area, Rolling View: Campground Review

August 9, 2018 by kokotg 6 Comments

If you want to go see lemurs at the Duke Lemur Center, you’re going to need a campground to stay at, right? Right. I remember at some point I was having trouble finding a well-reviewed RV park near Durham, but now I can’t figure out why. There are several different State Recreation Area campgrounds in […]

Duke Lemur Center and Museum of Life and Science: One Day in Durham, NC with Kids

June 19, 2018 by kokotg 3 Comments

Travel date: May 28, 2018 I first heard about the Duke Lemur Center maybe two years ago, and I’ve been a little obsessed with finding a way to get there ever since. So when we needed a good place to stop in between home and Washington, DC, of course we picked Durham. LEMURS! This is Elvis […]

It’s finally here: the very last post about our big summer trip! I mean, except I would like to do a kind of overview of our first long RV trip–lessons learned, things we’d do differently, things that worked well, and all that kind of thing. But Greensboro, NC was our last stop of the trip, […]

Exploring near Travelers Rest, SC: Table Rock State Park and Carl Sandburg’s Home. And Goats.

October 28, 2016 by kokotg 6 Comments

After spending Saturday exploring Greenville, we decided to spend our second and last full day of Labor Day weekend checking out some other sites in the Travelers Rest area. As I mentioned in my review of the Travelers Rest KOA, we had four different state parks to choose from within 30 minutes of the campground: […]

Elkin, NC: First Stop on our Summer, 2016 Road Trip

June 12, 2016 by kokotg 4 Comments

It’s finally here! Our big summer road trip: twenty two nights, ten campgrounds, and a whole lot of ice cream. This trip was originally conceived as sort of a practice trip for next summer’s massive road trip, but it’s turning out to be pretty substantial all by itself. As I’m writing, we’re already about two […]
