We are Cary & Jamie
(aka Pappy & Granny)

Between us we have 4 sons,
4 daughter in-laws,
and 5 wonderful grandchildren!

We retired in August 2020 and decided to explore the splendor of our great country! And what better way to do it, than in an RV from “Sea to Shining Sea”!

In the summer of 2020 we rented a Class C Thor Motorcoach and traveled to Utah with our grandson, Noah (4) and his daddy Andy. It was our first time in an RV and we learned a lot.

In December 2020 we purchased a Leisure Travel Unity Island Bed. And thus, our adventures began! It was our “trial run” and we spent 3 weeks (ROUTE: Nashville to Florida Panhandle to S. Carolina to N. Carolina to Virginia and home). PHOTOS

We’ve continued our RV adventures and so far our adventures have included months of camping and fishing in Florida, sightseeing as far north as the Northern Peninsula of Michigan, and venturing as far west as S. Dakota. This summer we will be meeting our kids and grandkids in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Up until now, we’ve been using a 16′ inflatable canoe as our fishing vessel. In the fall of 2022 we purchased a 21′ Carolina Skiff fishing boat that we’ll tow behind the RV on our annual fishing trip to Florida. 

When we’re not on the road we live in Maryland on the Severn River near Annapolis. Our water RV is our Grady White, “Jiggin’ Jama.” At home we fish on the Chesapeake Bay. Mostly we catch Striped Bass (known in MD as Rockfish), but we also fish for Blue Fish, Spanish Mackerel, Perch, Sea Trout, and Catfish.

In the spring each year, Cary plants an awesome organic garden and from May to October (with a few RV trips in between) we catch crabs in crab pots from our pier. We’ve had some great years when we’ve caught a dozen crabs a day! In the summers it’s awesome when our friends and family come over to our “Teaki” Bar for drinks, fun, and great crab feasts!

Cary’s philosophy, “why waste the daylight,” and “we can’t have enough toys!” keeps us outdoors and on the move on our 2 kayaks, 2 SUP boards, 1 canoe, 1 windsurfer, and our 33′ Grady White.

One thing is certain, we love the RV, camping, and boating life! We hope to see you on the road!
