Today we checked out late from the motel in Lake Geneva, drove around some so Han could take pictures, drove into Twin Lakes to see our friends lake front cottage (it is beautiful) and then began our very short trip into Kenosha, Wisconsin. For old times sake, as I had previously lived in Kenosha for …

We were able to be lazy and take our sweet time in the morning because our next stop was only about 90 minutes away. We are re-visiting Woodstock IL, where we were married 10 years ago in May. Han and I kept trying to get it right with others and we felt we finally did when …

This morning as we were getting packed we learned via Facebook that a previous neighbor, wonderful person and friend succumbed to her sickness and passed away yesterday. It tore through my heart as we finished packing the car and got on the road. Really worried about her dedicated, loving husband. On the way out of …

I checked online for the top ten sides to see in Omaha and then figured out which ones would be doable with my sweet hubby who needs to be taking it easy with his knee. He pushed the limit as usual, and we were busier than expected. He wanted me to have a good time …

Slept good, no mountains in sight, a couple cups of coffee and I was ready to begin the day, which turned into an enjoyable day of some “Wild West” history; after all we were following the trek west of the early history of the Oregon Trail in reverse. We visited Fort Cody before heading out …

Woke up refreshed, enjoyed a much better complimentary breakfast than normal in a grand acoustic lobby setting, dragged our feet getting ready, finally loaded the car and got on our way. By the way I would highly suggest Ben Lomond Suites in Downtown to anyone visiting Ogden Utah. Ladies the bathrooms are huge. http://www.benlomondsuites.com

Let me begin these next few blogs with an apology. If I don’t paint your home state in the best of light, people should realize I am only seeing part of that particular state, but I am sure there are plenty of beautiful areas in every state so please do not become offended. It is …

We sadly said good-bye to my daughter and my three precious grand children. It’s so difficult to leave when they are small because I worry that they forget so easily. I am going to make sure to Skype a lot. The drive from Silverdale WA to Vancouver OR was uneventful but still found too many …

On Monday the 11th, we decided to stay in and get some blog work done and give Han’s knee a chance to rest. He twisted it wrong and it is now painfully yelling at him. We were worn out from yesterday too, pushing a stroller uphill, climbing the streets of Seattle, so it was just as …
