Driving day – Looking for that elusive temperature anywhere below “Hades room temperature”, we drove 325 miles east until we could actually turn the fan speed down to medium. We landed in this beautiful park and immediately fell in love…with the weather. As we set up, the temperature was a cool 85 with a niceContinue reading “Natchez Trace State Park”

After several days off from any exercise at all, unless you consider trash eating strenuous, we decided to take a nice little hike into the woods. As mentioned yesterday, I told Joan if she was going to get her precious stamp then she had to earn the privilege to display it. Simple, she spoke toContinue reading “Hot Springs National Park”

I guess when you fly by the seat of your pants you don’t always get to do big kid stuff. What are the chances that in Hot Springs over Labor Day weekend that you couldn’t get a last minute massage, or scrub, or foot massage, or facial…pretty darn good as we found out, nada forContinue reading “Springs Day & New Family Time”

What a day to start our next adventure. FOREVER, the weather has been hot and dry…not so much the forecast when we shoved off. We pondered whether we should wait a day and spend another day with Baby Fi, since Joanie retired not really much on our agenda. So I asked my buddy Noah, niceContinue reading “Wet Start”

Heading to see our baby girl, many stops along the way. Only 24 hours to get there…we’ll be taking 2 weeks. First stop, Hot Springs, AR… Leaving Friday. “No Joanie, let me open that window!”

Leaving soon. Where we’ve been. Central USA covered. Heading East…leaving soon!

Joanie’s blog…in her words. Sorry, no pictures. 1. The PB “Cozy Pom Pom Sherpa Throw” Kate & Blaine gifted me at Christmas. It seriously saved me from freezing to death some nights! It’s the softest thing ever. We had temps of high 30’s-40’s on many nights! Small Airstream – 19’ Little Al seems small andContinue reading “Best “Things””

Finally we get Joan’s side, here we go…in Joan’s words: Me?, Moi? A Guest Blogger he asks? Sure, I’ll take a shot at it although I don’t have the humor ol’ Marco does. My Top 5 are a little different than Marc’s top 5. 1. South Dakota is number one on my list and itContinue reading “Joanie’s First”

While waiting on guest blogger Joanie… In no particular order. 1. The Window Incident. Without placing any blame, let’s just say that “it could happen to anyone”. I would say, “I love my Joanie but sometimes she can be a little aggressive”. And on day 1! 2. Montana. Really, you couldn’t just have one roadContinue reading “Bottom 5”

Just a couple of days left before we get home and I’ve come up with my “top 5” from our first trip in Little Al. Hopefully I can get Joan to do the same tomorrow. In no particular order. 1. Santa Fe, New Mexico. Great start to the trip; the city is clean, crisp weatherContinue reading “Top 5”
