Adventures of the Antirider Rider

When it’s your birthday, you get to do whatever you want and you call all the shots.  Here Russell is inspecting this Mitsubishi air conditioner.  For all the time I talk about purses, Russell likes to talk about air conditioners. Terrace Café has so many delicious choices, he doesn’t know what to choose! We start [...]

Real carrots.  Real carrots from the garden.  Real BIG carrots from the garden.  Notice the perspective next to the sink drain.   I arrive to see that Brendan has quite the spread set up for cooking.   He’s even using a cook book printed on real paper and bound into a real book.  Brendan is [...]

It’s true.  I put on a pair of jammies and hopped into an RV with four other guys for forty hours straight.  Here Rick shows off his American sized travel cup. Dave stands watch with the big truck and big engine.   This is what we call Mission Control where Rick is running two laptops, [...]

It’s a good thing the RX has a luggage rack.  The SUV is packed with five peeps and lots of stuff as we head to the casino.   Richard tells Russell the food choices are something Asian and Fatburger.  Russell says: oh she won’t like the Asian place, we’ll go to Fatburger.  After all what Asian [...]

Russell wakes up to tourists and families taking photos outside the RV because what starts out as an empty parking lot in the middle of the night turns out to be the middle of the parking lot at a museum. This town consists of a coffee and gift shop combo, gas station, post office, and [...]

The next day starts with the sun shining on the RV and R1. Why is there this moss? Russell loves the beach and to think by himself on the rocks. More shots of our beach view. Before we get the big truck back on the road, Russell has to make sure all of the mirrors [...]

Imagine living in an RV parked right next to the beach. As soon as you step outside, there is nothing between you and the beach – no construction, no people, nothing. I meet Kristen and Brian.  Today is Kristen’s first motorcycle ride as she rented a Honda Rebel 250 to cruise up and down the [...]

I love palm trees and here are palms galore! Now trade in palms for wind towers. I love this photo and I find it even more amazing that I’m able to shoot from a moving truck! Sometimes I get lucky with the composition. Wind towers everywhere!   Russell and his passenger.   We find a [...]

Where are my keys? OR Why are you taking another photo?  <– pick your own caption Russell’s dad says we’re going to a place that sells pies.  I ask are pies like pizzas or something else?   As soon as we enter the dining area, I immediately think Pines in Sparta, NC. Notice the crowd [...]

Food is always fancier on white plates, right?   The house decides to do a family dinner and we feast on veggies burgers topped with guacamole and lettuce, sweet potato fries, lima beans, bakes beans, and corn.  The irony is that no one in this house is a vegetarian!   Bes brings the dessert and [...]

The greenway is a place for me to run, walk, ride bicycles, and on occasion make new friends.  Since moving, the south Charlotte greenways have been elusive to me.  I explore a new stretch of the south Charlotte greenway with Russell who has never been on a Charlotte greenway before.  He’s very interested in these wood carvings [...]

It’s winter coat time as we embark on another adventure. Russell tries out the Charlotte LYNX mass transit for the first time. We go to Discovery Place where Russell the Chief Scientist comes out to play.  At the crafts station, a Christmas tree ornament zipper pull is created.   We pass on the IMAX film [...]

I’m not the only one who has lots of adventures.  Russell is also always getting into something.  The big task now is getting the truck back on the road!   The rolling chair proves to be quite the challenge when the truck is on the move… because the chair is on the move too! The [...]

The nice thing about winter is all the delicious flavors it brings and if you’re wanting to experience some real winter weather, you should check out rentals in Edmonton.  I have a friend from a South American country whose company sent her to work in Canada.  She learned very quickly that she needed a new [...]
