We took this trip last April with the kids on their boat. We couldn't have asked for a better day to be on the river. These ARE the good old days. What a great week-end. On Monday the kids returned to work and to school. Us? We just went on down the road. Retirement is so nice. If you think that you might like to do this you can go to this site. http://foreverlodging.com/destination.cfm?PropertyKey=130  and book your own adventure next time you are in Las Vegas.

Two years late starting this blog.

Mike and I should have started this blog two years ago when we started RVing. No worries though; we'll just post some of those pics if we have a "no news" day. We are getting ready to leave WA where we spent the summer hosting a city park.Then on to North Dakota where we will be meeting my sister Barb, her husband Dave and our dad Bob. From there, all five of us will be traveling to Maine via the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls. Dave just retired this spring and we are excited to have them rving with us. Bob (dad)  has owned several rv's over the years so it will be nice to have a seasoned veteran with us who loves to rv as much as we do. We don't have any set plans or an itinerary. We just know that we have to be in Omaha, NE by October 14th for a wedding. Do you think we'll make it?
