Jacqueline’s Jaunts

01 June 2025, R&R Winery, Greenwood Springs, Mississippi to KOA Journey North Little Rock, Arkansas Jeeps - 4 We said our goodbyes to Ruth, and we were on our way to North Little Rock, Arkansas. We had a four-hour drive ahead of us. Today’s drive is one of the longest drives on our way home. Most of the county roadways were OK. The highway was better. Everything is green and lush. The sky is blue and full of cotton balls.  We crossed into Tennessee at 1:20 PM. THE INTERSTATE IS HORRIBLE!!!! They win the prize right now for the worst roads. Then we crossed into Arkansas at 1:33 PM. The part of Arkansas we crossed into was a jog so it was quick from one state to another. It was still an hour to the KOA in North Little Rock. We made it about 3:40 PM. Thank goodness our coach’s insulation is sound because we are close to the highway. We are here for two nights.  In the evening, we walked in the park, and you could hear the traffic. Glad we are a little bit away from the road....

31 May 2025, Red Bay, Alabama, Tiffin Service Center to R & R Winery, Harvest Host, Greensprings, Mississippi Today’s drive was mainly on county roads. When we crossed into Mississippi, we didn’t see a sign for about a mile, and then we almost missed it. I had Barry stop, and I walked back to the sign, about 60 feet.  We arrived around 3:00 PM. Once parked and set up, it’s time for wine tasting. Whoever thought we would be wine tasting in Mississippi? The winery has a cool tasting room. The tasting room looks like a dining room. A couple was tasting when we entered. We ended up talking to them for an hour. Both are X-ray techs in a hospital about 45 miles from here. We never stopped talking about kids, family, retirement, bugs in the south, health care, wine tasting, and a whole bunch of other stuff.  Ruth and Rich Romanowski own R & R Winery . Ruth informed us that the winery was having its last Saturday of the month dinner with live music. They do this on the 2nd and...

21 April 2025, Pensacola Beach RV Resort Jeeps-17 Today is a drive day to Pensacola Beach, Florida. We passed through Mississippi and Alabama. It was an easy drive, even though we encountered rain. The bridge we crossed just before we drove into the RV park was awesome. The park is not as big as I thought it would be, but it is right on the beach.   Once parked and hooked up, we walked to the RV Resort's private beach and the Tiki Bar. We found a great place in the shade and ordered drinks. We sat on the beach for a few hours, drinking margaritas and enjoying the sunset.  It was dinner time, so we headed back to our RV for leftover fried catfish from last night. We heated everything up and then walked to K&J to have dinner with them. We ended up watching an old Val Kilmer movie, The Saint. I have never seen it. Even though it was dated, it was entertaining.  After the movie, we walked the park loop twice and headed to bed. Nice afternoon.  A few photos before we ...
