First Post on New Blogger

Hi there and welcome to my blog.  I'm glad to see you!  I'm running out of time to get acclimated, so I'm just taking the plunge and trying a post on the new Blogger forum.  Like most folks, I don't think we'll be doing any traveling this summer, although I hope we'll get to spend a few days at my in-laws' beach house.  I imagine they'll be putting it up for sale before too long, and we need to spend some time there, if possible.  We have so many good memories from our times there.      For this post, I thought I would share some links to places we've visited in previous years; if you happen to be a new visitor to House at Forest Manor, you won't have read these posts.  I imagine we'll be mostly doing armchair travel this year.  :)    

   In 2019, I took two girls' trips with my mom, sister, and niece.  We went to Southport, North Carolina, and Charleston, South Carolina.  I've been to both places several times before, but this was a first with just us girls.  You can tour this darling cottage where we stayed in Southport here and here.          

   You can see a short post on last year's trip to Charleston here.       

   Hal and I visited Williamsburg in 2019, where I fell in love with those charming Colonial cottage gardens.  You can see more of our Williamsburg trip here, here, here and here.    

   In 2018, we visited beautiful Airlie Gardens, in Wilmington, North Carolina.   

   You can see that post here.       I'll be sharing more links to past travel posts in the days ahead.  I just can hardly believe that June is essentially over.  This has definitely been the strangest year I've ever experienced.  I hope you're staying well, and thank you so much for stopping by today.      Have a good week!
