“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing “The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.” -Masanobu Fukuoka 🐓 🍅🌽🍆🌺🐝🐛🌻 *swipe for more photos* One of our favorite places to park are working farms. And there’s a cool way to do it with a self-contained RV through @harvesthosts 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 Here, we stayed at a Gourd Farm in Michigan. Off the beaten path, we were treated to a tour of the grounds. Everything was so beautiful! The brilliant colors of the flowers, vegetables, green grass and blue skies. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 There were awesome gardens - sunflowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, squash, pumpkins, gourds, etc. Also, we got to watch the chickens, farm dog and a little black cat. 🐓 🍅🌽🍆🌺🐝🐛🌻 One of our favorites though was breathing in the fresh crisp air and sleeping peacefully with the windows open. Coffee never tasted so good the next morning. 🐓 🍅🌽🍆🌺🐝🐛🌻 Farms are amongst the several venues you can stay at through Harvest Hosts, but to be able to enjoy them, you must be a member. Enjoy our 15% off discount code on our blog main page. Just click on the Harvest Host image on the right sidebar. 🐓 🍅🌽🍆🌺🐝🐛🌻 It’s an incredible way to enjoy peaceful parking while learning about farming, wine making, breweries, distilleries, museums and even golfing. So check out the membership requirements to see if it fits into your RV travels. 🐓 🍅🌽🍆🌺🐝🐛🌻
“Red, Right, Returning” 🏮 ⚓️🚢🏮⚓ “Red, Right, Returning” 🏮 ⚓️🚢🏮⚓️🚢🏮 You may have heard the phrase, “Red, Right, Returning.” This expression refers to the fact that when returning (entering a channel from the open sea or proceeding upstream), a boater must keep the red Aids on the right (starboard) side of the boat. 🏮 ⚓️🚢🏮⚓️🚢🏮 This was such a cool visit! Walking the pier everyday and night for different views. Our first day during our stay at Grand Haven, Michigan was beautiful with blue skies but then the smoke from the west coast fires rolled in. Then it turned hazy and sunsets were no more. 🏮 ⚓️🚢🏮⚓️🚢🏮 But the haze made for interesting eerie photography like this along the South Pier. 🏮 ⚓️🚢🏮⚓️🚢🏮 Grand Haven South Pierhead Inner Light is the inner light of two lighthouses on the south pier of Grand Haven, Michigan where the Grand River enters Lake Michigan. A lighthouse was first lit there in 1839. The lighthouse was put up for sale in 2009 under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. 🏮 ⚓️🚢🏮⚓️🚢🏮@coastgdfestival @grandhaven_michigan @puremichigan

“Please pass the Grey Poupon!” 😳🥺😳🥺😳🥺😳 Anyone who knows us personally appreciates why this is not our game. This slide-to-slide campground parking arrangement gives us the willies. It’s cramping our style in a big way. Our neighbors take the term ‘slam latches’ to a whole higher level. Door slamming too. And other campers walking between campers only inches away from our windows and of course, looking in as they pass. And, being stuck between two taller rigs impacts our TV and WiFi signals. 😳🥺😳🥺😳🥺😳 But, sometimes we gotta bite our bottom lip and suck it up if we want to tour parts of America. But, we have to admit, we surely do miss boondocking in open space with beautiful views. 😳🥺😳🥺😳🥺😳 What is your campground pet peeve?
*swipe for more photos* Grand Haven, Michigan neve *swipe for more photos* Grand Haven, Michigan never forgets nor discounts the Coast Guard being the 5th branch of our Armed Forces! And they do such an amazing way of honoring the men and women of the Coast Guard, past and present. Grand Haven was the first to become a “Coast Guard City”. They did a great job recognizing the efforts and contributions of the Escanaba and her Fallen Heroes. ⚓️♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️⚓️ The Coast Guard City program was established by the United States Congress in 1998 to recognize cities where military assets of the United States Coast Guard are located and which demonstrate support to Coast Guard personnel stationed there. The first city so designated was Grand Haven, Michigan. ⚓️♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️⚓️ Our hopes were to be able to attend the annual Coast Guard Festival in early August but thanks to Covid, they had to cancel this year. But someday we will be able to go as that’s sort of a ‘right of passage’ and on every Coastie’s bucket list. ⚓️♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️⚓️ Thank you Grand Haven! We love you all too! ⚓️♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️⚓️@coastgdfestival @uscg @gocoastguard @coastguardheroes
Like father, like daughter! ♥️⚓️💙⚓️ Like father, like daughter! ♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️ As seen a couple days ago, I (Lisa) checked off a bucket list block. We toured the U.S. Coast Guard Ice Breaker Mackinaw in Mackinaw City, Michigan. So, it was a given to do an obligatory generation photo. My Dad is above on the ship’s port side stern and Dan similarly staged a same-place-same-pose photo of me 60 years later. ♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️ Realize that the Mackinaw has gone through a ship revitalization (yard periods). One of the most notable is changing her original white hull color to her distinctive ice breaker red. ♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️ I will never forget this “pilgrimage”. I’ve wanted to do this as long as I can remember. And having the support, encouragement and love from Dan made it all the more of an adventure. My Dad definitely would have approved my choice of life partner if you were to ask him so many years ago. ♥️⚓️💙⚓️♥️

*swipe* What an AMAZING DAY!! I (Lisa) will call t *swipe* What an AMAZING DAY!! I (Lisa) will call this one of my pilgrimage days. Here’s just a small part of my story. ♥️⚓️🚢💙 Most of you may know, I come from blue blood meaning my Coast Guard and Maritime Law Enforcement family stems way before raising my own right hand to protect and defend our Homeland. See, my father served in the Coast Guard before me therefore, becoming his legacy. ♥️⚓️🚢💙 However, the heartbreaking wrench in my story is that I lost my Dad when I was only a year old while he was in the Coast Guard. I never got to know him, nor did he get to watch me grow up except from heaven. ♥️⚓️🚢💙 So, why is the Coast Guard Ice Breaking Cutter Mackinaw so dear to my heart? Because my Dad was stationed on her the year before I was born when the Mac was homeported in Cheboygan, Michigan. He was one of the ship’s Engineers. He worked below decks. He made that ship move. ♥️⚓️🚢💙 In my senior year of high school, I followed my calling to continue my Dad’s legacy. I left home to serve right after high school graduation. After successfully passing basic training and Quartermaster and Signalman school to learn ship navigation and visual signaling, I asked for only one billet on my dream sheet. But that’s all it was, a dream. The Mackinaw was not berthed for women to serve on her. My heart broke but I still pushed through where the Coast Guard needed me on another Cutter doing other important missions. Mackinaw was finally billeted for women however, it was past my time. I was envious of those women ‘living aboard my dream ship’. ♥️⚓️🚢💙 So imagine the butterflies I felt today while stepping aboard the very ship my Dad served on 50some years after he left. It was an indescribable ‘lump in my throat’ moment. I walked up the same brow and turned to salute the same flag staff that he had back in the early 60’s. ♥️⚓️🚢💙 I don’t expect many to understand the emotion I felt walking the same passages, decks, engine room, mess deck and ladders as he did. I felt an incredible sense of peace knowing that not only was I his daughter but I also became his Coast Guard Sister and fellow Cutterman (and married one too!) Semper Paratus Dad! 💙 @uscgmackinawwagb83 @uscg
