Two days of driving and we’re back in Florida now. Branson didn’t appeal to us – a little too country & western, so we just kept driving. We’re in Pensacola and decided to splurge on the hotel. Here’s the view from our bed. We should be in Gainesville tonight. We’ll be driving along the Gulf … Continue reading

Outstanding in her field
We spent all day yesterday driving across Nebraska and Kansas, ending the day in Kansas City, Missouri. There is a LOT of corn here … miles and miles of it. Here’s Dale out standing in her field of corn: The ground is really dry here. No surprise, given that it has been 105° F – … Continue reading
Happy Camper
We had a nice visit with Trevor. He is a great camp counselor, always making sure that his kids have a fun and memorable time. Here we are with Trev at Camp Chief Ouray at the YMCA: The YMCA property is huge and Camp Ouray takes up just a small part of it. Here’s Camp … Continue reading
Camp Ouray, YMCA
We had a nice day with Trevor yesterday and he was able to get us a complimentary stay at the hotel here at the YMCA’s Snow Ranch facility near Winter Park, Colorado.

Granby, Colorado
We finished yesterday by waiting for the slowest moving train in the world to go by, after which we had dinner and stayed at a motel in the absolute middle of nowhere, Kansas. We got up early this morning. Really early. The moon was still up when we left Kansas. Anyway, we made it to … Continue reading

These boots are made for walking…
…and that’s just what we did! Most of the day. But first we had to get bagels and coffee near the hotel where we had window seats on a funny encounter between a street sweeper and a plastic ribbon. This guy had a broom and a dust pan on the end of a pole and … Continue reading
Live, from New York, it’s…
…not Saturday Night Live, it’s Dale’s Birthday! We spent the morning walking around Central Park. The Boathouse and the Writer’s Walk are beautiful. We had hoped to catch street performers near the Boathouse, but we are apparently earlier risers than they are. Except for three guys singing a capella under a bridge. Next, we went … Continue reading
The Big Apple
What a busy day! We flew into Laguardia Airport and landed around 2:00, then took the shuttle bus into Manhattan and checked into the Hilton near Times Square. By 3:00 we were out on the street. First stop was the nearest deli for a pastrami on rye. Mmmmmmm. Nourished, we headed for Times Square where … Continue reading
