I am so far behind on my travel updates that I decided to sum up the whole year and send out my Holiday Newsletter along with my wishes for everyone to have a happy and healthy holiday season. Photo above from Siesta Key Beach in Florida, a bit different than our many cold Chicago Christmases!…
Back to work?! What?
We didn’t have any reservations anywhere after finishing our Utah National Park loop until August 25th in the Yellowstone/Grand Tetons National Parks. So, where do we go, what do we do? How about if we volunteer at a state or national park campground in exchange for free camping for the summer? Maybe, but the situation…
Living on the Edge
Onward to the last of the Utah National Parks, Arches and Canyonlands, but first a stop at Goosenecks State Park in the southeast corner of Utah near the town of Mexican Hat. Once again this was a recommended destination by fellow rvers and what a unique find! The campground was first come only with no…
Oh, the Places You’ll Go
My close friend pointed out to me one day that our life reminded her of a book she once read. “You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!” ― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go! How appropriate, especially when travelling out west in this stunningly beautiful…
On our way north to the Grand Canyon
Finally on our way north with the destination of the Grand Canyon National Park at the end of April in mind. We have certainly learned that there is so much to see along the way and as they say, you have to remember to enjoy the journey and not just the final destinations in life….
Big Sky Country & Our New Home!
Well, I wrapped up my last blog as we were heading north out of Florida, or at least I thought we were. We started having problems with the slides on our RV before we got very far. At first the large slide wouldn’t close and we cannot drive down the highway with a 2 foot…
Best Made Plans and Movin’ On
Learning that sometimes we have little control over the ways things work out in life but there is always a greater plan at work.
Ketchup Blog – Family, DC & the OBX
Okay, first things first, this blog is from Ray’s point of view since Susan Dawn has been very busy with Christmas presents. So we left Maine, I can’t remember how long ago now, and headed south to French Creek State Park, PA. Campground was nice but the best part of this stop was meeting up…
Acadia Park, Maine and then southward bound…
I know this is late but we’ve been so busy this last month. I really don’t know how we ever had time to work! But I am really excited to tell you about Acadia National Park in Maine. We made this reservation in March and had really been looking forward to it. Funny how things…
Waterfalls, Fall Colors and Bears, Oh My!
Can’t believe it’s late September already. Since our last post we explored the Finger Lakes area of New York, including going to a Bluegrass Festival on a sheep farm and we even found a few more amazing waterfalls! We then spent almost two weeks in a Army Corps of Engineers campground in the Green Mountains…
Crossing borders and then, the biggest of them all (so far)…
It’s true, time does fly when you are having fun! I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since my last blog post. Well, after our time in the Upper Peninsula, we spent a fun couple days near Mackinac Island, highlighted by our 45th Anniversary celebration. On our special day, we took the ferry to…
Exploring the U.P., Kayaks & Waterfalls…
I really had no idea what to expect of our time up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I have to say I was really pleasantly surprised by all it has to offer. We did so much and we were without internet service for the lat 5 days, so I’m a bit behind on my…
