Our first travel adventure since moving off the boat was a combination of work and play. It was a drive from VA to MN, a week camping with family in Minnesota, a few days ‘de- stuffing’ our storage unit back in Stillwater, Amtrak from St. Paul to Oregon, fast ferry to Victoria, BC, a stop in Seattle, fly back to MN to load up a UHaul, and a final return drive to Norfolk.

We finish our final trip on the ICW, traveling from Wilmington NC to Norfolk VA. Most of the towns were still in winter hibernation mode, but we still enjoyed some of our favorite stop. We also added a new stop in Washington NC, where our good friends from Inconceivable hop on board for the final three days to our ultimate destination of Norfolk VA.
