One of our favorite hobbies is camping. Our adventures take us many interesting places and we enjoy it so much. We have pulled a Fleetwood Tacoma popup, a Forest River Wildwood travel trailer, and a Winnebago Micro Minnie travel trailer to lots of state and national parks across the Southeast. Our camping excursions are typically limited to long weekends but we do plan on taking longer trips around the country in our retirement years. Here are the various locations we have been. We hold fond memories of family time spent together at each one of these campgrounds.
