Adventure with us as we travel the country in search of history, great scenery, mass quantities of wild life, disc golf courses, microbreweries, fun people and some awesome campgrounds to park our home on wheels. We also hope to do a lot of dispersed camping in the Southwest as well. There will be sunny days and there will be cloudy days but a day without laughter is a day wasted!! ROLL ON!!

Almost back to OUR NORMAL

Since there were waaaaaaay to may near death experiences since I wrote last, I will just let you wonder at what they all were and know that I am not certain how I survived the last couple of months.
I do hope to write once a week (every Sunday) in the future. Get your notifications set up so you can see where we are traveling and come meet up with us or just check out our pictures.

It has been almost 3 months since our return from the Virgin Island and although I have died numerous times since our return, I couldn't be happier. We are taking the next couple of months traveling to WI to pick up our home and visiting as much family as we can along the way. 

We began our journey in Raleigh NC visiting our daughter Charlotte, husband Steve and newest granddaughter Ana.  Took way too many pictures.  I guess that is what you do with a new grandchild!

We had way too much fun hanging out with all these guys.  We resumed visiting breweries and Dick started playing disc golf again while I walk in the woods and take crazy pictures of nature.

We watched baseball, ate a ton of food, drank way too much, way too often, checked out the new theatre room, painted a bathroom, painted the pool room, raked the yard, cleaned windows, cleaned the garage......Hey wait a minute....this isn't our house!!!!!  We stayed 3 weeks then thought we better move on before we die from too much work!!

On to Pennsylvania for a few day with daughter Alex, husband Andy, grandson Brennan, grandson Stephen and granddaughter Lily.  We only had a short two days there, but it was a great visit.  The kids were still in school and when they got home, they were off to play, off to work or off hanging with friends so we didn't see them much.  Another time, another day!

Headed to Beaver, PA to drop off a power washer at daughter Roni & husband Dans place.  We had a quick lunch with them and didn't spend any nights because we are going back for a whole month from August 1st-30.  They are having grandchild number 5 at the end of July, and we want to spend a little time there checking out this new grandkid before we begin our travel adventures again.  I did leave my phone out on the roof of our truck when went in for lunch and it rained a ton and ruined it!!
Had to wait until we got to WI to get another one which was kind of a bummer, but I survived. One thing I will not die from is electronic disconnect!

To Burton, OH we roamed for a family wedding!  What a rocking good time this was.  We saw a shit ton of family and danced the night away. OK we watched people dance.  That is equally as fun without having to show off my Ginger Rogers moves and a lot less sweaty. It was great seeing more extended family.

Wisconsin here we come.  Our 1st stop was Dick's Mom, Paulines house in Waukesha.  From there we went back and forth to Fond Du Lac where our rolling home has been stored at Dick's cousin Glenn & wife Cathy's home.  We spent our time visiting with all the family in the area and prepping the home for travel.  We had boxes and boxes of stuff we took out for storage and boxes and boxes of stuff we returned with.  We downsized again!!!  Getting rid of a ton of stuff was the goal and we succeeded!

We had a great trip traveling to see my family on the west side of Wisconsin.  There was another wedding which was super fun and we got to see most of my family. How it has grown and changed.  We see most of these folks about once a year and had a great time. We then went to spend a few nights at my brother's house close by then on to the great north woods to camp for 10 days at Musky Lake with Dicks side of the family.  Back to our resort spot in the driveway of Dicks cousin once again which is where I will leave you and hopefully post every Sunday from here on out!  

Hope you enjoy the pictures and follow our adventure of near-death experiences!
