What we're doing...

Thursday, 6/14/2018 – Two days ago we arrived safe and sound at Camp Sawash, home of my sister and her husband in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.  Our entire 2,400 mile drive over ten days was uneventful with no RV problems or weather issues.  It was a very enjoyable drive the entire trip.

On our first day here we quickly settled in so we’d be ready for “happy hour” at 4pm.  Our impromptu happy hour turned out to be a great time.  Some neighbors joined us along with many of our family members including a bunch of our kids.  Stella had a blast as well as she was welcomed into the pack of six other dogs.  She was so exhausted by bedtime that we had to check if she was still breathing.  What a great way to start our visit.

Yesterday we enjoyed the day with our daughter Melissa’s family.  We started the day by taking care of our almost 5 year old granddaughter Grace.  We took her to her gymnastics class and watched as she showed us how much she’s improved.  Then off to do some shopping before heading off to lunch at whatever restaurant she wanted.  I was hoping for clam strips or scallops.  She selected McDonalds.  After some playtime at our RV, it was time to head to her house to meet up with the rest of the family.  Then we all headed off to Tony’s, a great Italian restaurant for pizza with the whole family.  To finish the evening off we enjoyed our 7 year old grandson’s final baseball game of the season.  It was an exhausting but totally awesome day.

Today we’ll be heading off to New Hampshire to pick up some stuff from Claudia’s dads house but more importantly we’ll be seeing more family members.  Although several of our grandkids won’t be around, we’ll still get to visit with Claudia’s sister as well as our other kids.  On Sunday we’ll get to see everyone together as all three of our kids along with significant others and all nine grandkids meet at Melissa and Josh's house for a Father’s Day pool Party.  We just love being “home” again!!

Next destinations...

This summer begins our sixth year on the road.  We’ve decided to make it an abbreviated trip in order to slow down just a bit and to spend some quality time with our family during what we hope will be some great summer weather.  Following our time with family we’ll take a slow and relaxing trip back to Texas by way of Missouri and Oklahoma.  In Missouri we plan stops in St Louis to visit the Gateway Arch, Hannibal to visit Mark Twain’s boyhood home and museum, the Lake of the Ozarks to spend some time with friends and Branson to enjoy some entertainment and nightlife.  In Oklahoma we plan a visit to Oklahoma City for several sightseeing stops including the Oklahoma City National Memorial and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.  We are also planning a stop in Arlington, Texas in order to make some tourist stops in Fort Worth to visit the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District and in Dallas to visit the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza which chronicles President Kennedy's assassination and its aftermath.  And then of course, there are all those unplanned and unpredicted stops that make traveling such an adventure.  We expect to be back at Sandpipers in Edinburg, Texas by early September after spending Labor Day weekend with several of our friends just outside of Austin.
