On The Road Again!

October 2017

On Sunday, October 1st we left the cornfields of Nebraska and headed south to the wheat fields of Kansas!
We didn’t stay very long in any one place because we’re trying to head west to Bakersfield, CA so Larry could resume his Physical Therapy.
We did make time along the way to visit with family...
Larry with Aunt Connie and Uncle Gary
We met them for lunch and had a great time eating and chatting!


Cousin Phil & his wife Sharon treated us to make your own pizza. 
Never cooked Pizza on the grill before. It was yummy

I haven't seen Phillip since he was 17
and I finally got to meet his awesome wife, Sharon and son, Max.
Daughter Maggie was busy at college.
Phil, Max, Sharon & Sherry
We also got a chance to take in a few sites.
Beautiful sky in Kansas
We were in Albuquerque, NM for the opening day of their annual Balloon Fiesta!

But I had to borrow this awesome picture from someone in cyberspace
because we were too far outside Albuquerque to see anything!











We did see these awesome classic cars and trailers in the RV Park though!






We stayed again at one of my favorite places, Williams, AZ: the gateway to the Grand Canyon!
Of course we got in late and had to leave early
so this photo is from the last time we were here in April!

Interesting things we saw along the way.

A water tower about to fall over
Lots and lots and lots of wind turbines

















After 3 months in a cornfield seeing a mountain again, even a small one, made my heart happy!









And the beautiful colors of the rocks in Arizona took my breath away!
(The colors were brighter than this depicts) 







Our travels also took us through Winslow, AZ! After Glenn Frey passed away they added a bronze statue of him to the Standin’ On The Corner Park! Of course we had to go back!




It’s been an adventure and we loved spending time with family in Nebraska but
I’m happy to be heading home!

About Me

Larry and I decided to retire and hit the road. We bought a new 5th Wheel and new truck to pull it. We packed up the dogs and we're heading out to check off that bucket list. We wake up every morning and "Thank Our Lucky Stars" that we get to do this.
