And this is just from word-of-mouth; we have no formal advertising, and we are not even being indexed by search engines yet, since the website is too new. We have really enjoyed all the comments we received from all of you out in cyberspace regarding the website. Make sure to bookmark us and check back often; your viewing helps us get on the road a little faster; we are hoping to get some sponsors with the increasing support of all our Internet friends.

| Spotlight on Chincoteague, Virginia Ask my family to name one of our favorite camping spots, and we would have to include Chincoteague, Virginia. Granted, Chincoteague is not a well known major tourist draw like Williamsburg or Roanoke. But this outwardly appearing sleepy, backwater town is steeped in history and legend, and has enough activities to keep any family busy for a full week-long vacation. The name “Chincoteague” is popularly accepted to be an Indian name meaning “beautiful land across the water”. Chincoteague is 37 square mile island about one mile from the mainland of Virginia. The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway slightly elevated above a tidal marsh, replete with swooping gulls, oyster beds, and rocking fishing boats….. Read more about Chincoteague |
| Gas prices have you down? You may have decided to stay a little closer to home for the your trips this summer, but to put gas prices in perspective; the cost of a gallon of gas is only 25 cents more now than it was one year ago. That means for the average RV or truck pulling a trailer that gets 10 miles to the gallon, you will pay only $2.50 more for every 100 miles you drive. The media says we could be over $4 by the end of this year. Canada already pays over $4/gallon, so get out and enjoy our “low” prices while we can! |
| Recipe of the Month: Super Easy Fettuccine Alfredo Ingredients:
Simply cook pasta, heat broccoli and chicken in microwave, drain pasta, and top with other ingredients. Tip: Thin out the cheese sauce with a little skim milk to make it go farther and save calories. Did you know: veggies in the “fresh” produce aisle may have been harvested one to two weeks ago? Frozen fruits and veggies are usually picked and frozen almost immediately, preserving much of their nutrients. Also, frozen fruit tends to be less expensive pound-for- pound than their fresh alternatives. Not to mention, they travel better! |

| Why do we use a Savings Thermometer? We decided to use a visual element to remind us of why we are:
We printed one from the internet, and hang it in a prominent place (on the fridge door). Yesterday I had Madi color in the progress we have made, making it a family affair! |
