David and I are getting ready to hit the road and start traveling in our RV again. The past month has been a very busy one with us getting everything prepared and getting rid of the "stuff" we have accumulated over the past few years. It is amazing how quickly you gather things. Last weekend was Easter and we decided to take a trip to the coast of NC to visit our son and daughter-in-law. This was a car trip but I wanted to blog about the trip because of something we did that was fun and interesting and I felt I needed to share. We had our grand daughter with us on the trip and decided to do some geocaching. Jordan took us to a cache he had previously found and it had to do with Venus Fly Trap plants. The only place on the planet where they grow in the wild is within a 100 mile radius of Wilmington, NC. I have always been fascinated by these plants and over the years I have owned several but this was the first time I had ever seen them growing wild. They were just coming up for the season and were still on the small side but it was fantastic to see them. Lots of pitcher plants were blooming as well. Below are a couple of photos.
