Last night we decided to pull the sleeper couch out and Han being a gentleman, decided he would sleep on it. Due to interior heat, we have both been snoring like hybernating bears. A little distance between us is necessary at this time if we want to have a good nights sleep. LOL We explored …

We checked into the Weathervane Inn yesterday, to have a couple of nights sleep on an actual bed instead of air mattresses, to ready us for another drive across this vast country.
