Some people go to the beach, the shore, seashore, shoreline and/or just ocean. When Little Al kept telling me he was going to the coast with or without me I knew what he meant, I just didn’t know if we were ever going to escape our Spring Branch captivity. For those of you that haveContinue reading “To The Coast”

Two Steps Forward
Well, another change of plans. Seems we were not destined to take Little Al anywhere this month no matter how hard we tried. Instead of heading to warmer weather we will be driving to the tourist destination of Dallas to babysit our granddaughter for the week. Again, a parent at her school was exposed toContinue reading “Two Steps Forward”
Time to Roll
After a tough and tearful conversation with Little Al, we’ve decided to leave him behind and head for warmer weather in Florida. He wants to go so bad but we think it’s better he rest and get ready for our next long adventure in the summer. Just seems like yesterday we were leaving for COContinue reading “Time to Roll”
San Antonio Day Trip
What a wonderful day for a day trip, if it weren’t for June through September San Antonio could actually be a livable city. We started our day off at about 50 degrees and 25 miles and 4 hours later the day was still beautiful with a temp of under 65. Although we didn’t visit eachContinue reading “San Antonio Day Trip”
Brett’s First
Brett’s first post and a few random top moments from the trip. Also known as… It wasn’t Octoberfest…but it was still a great time! Brett here! While it has been nice to be back in my own bed again, I will admit that I miss the retired life with Joanie and Marco. Even though weContinue reading “Brett’s First”
No Rest For The Weary
Hanging with the McGaff’s in Dallas is not for the faint of heart; it is a full time job of “projects”, babysitting (a young persons game) and plenty of scary movies at night. Just when I thought I would ease into retirement with sweet Joanie, work broke out. And…I wouldn’t have it any other way.Continue reading “No Rest For The Weary”
Back in Texas
After waking early and getting on the road in Nashville, we dashed across TN and AR running from Delta and made it safely to TX without much bad weather. Our 11+ hour drive was the longest we’ve made on any day of our adventures and mutually agreed to be our longest we will ever drive.Continue reading “Back in Texas”
Franklin & Leiper’s Fork, TN
We made it safely to Tennessee and have Little Al parked across the street from the Grand Ole Opry at the Nashville KOA Resort. At night you can actually hear the ghosts of Chet Atkins, Roy Acuff, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline sing into the night…pretty cool but just a little spooky and we justContinue reading “Franklin & Leiper’s Fork, TN”
Newland, NC
After leaving Brett and Jim’s condo in Arlington and fighting the early morning commuters (so sad people have to have jobs), we picked up Little Al and headed south with no real destination but an idea of where we wanted to land. We ended up finding a great spot at the Down By The RiverContinue reading “Newland, NC”
Yorktown
For the last two nights of Bretts “Griswold Vacation” we decided to stay at a b&b in Yorktown, VA. Joanie and I had been here years earlier for a wedding and really wanted to come back and explore the area. The owners and staff went out of their way to keep everything as normal asContinue reading “Yorktown”
