Our History

My photo
Ohio, United States
Having recently retired we are fulfilling our long time dream. We began our camping life with a tent in 1969 adjusting as each of our three sons arrived over the years and gradually progressed to a 32' Class A in 2007. Even after our sons became too busy with their own interests, we continued dreaming over the years. The Louisville, KY 2003 Great North American RV Rally and the book "Movin' On" convinced us that a motorhome after retirement was really for us! In 2007 we sold our home and disposed of most of our belongings and awaited the wife's retirement on February 1, 2008. We were out in our first motorhome ten times in our first summer in 2007, with our grandson joining us eight of those ten times. Since he must stay behind with his mom and dad to continue school, we told him he can join us on vacations (by car or plane) anywhere we are as we travel the US. Imagine the history lessons he could acquire! However, Mom and Dad don't look at it that way, especially the flying. Fortunately we don't miss work one bit!! We just miss the friends there. We have many hobbies to keep us busy when we decide to sit still for a day. Hope to see you on the road.

Trip home

Surprise! Surprise! Yes, we did surprise our daughter-in-law by being there at her graduation. We should have had the camera ready for the expression. However, we have been with her through thick and thin working for this education from the time she got her GED ten years ago. Anything that we could do with our grandson to lighten her load, we did when possible. So we just had to be in on the celebration. Thanks to her parents who hosted dinner at Red Lobster after the ceremony. It was a great visit!
Thanks to our oldest son who put us up for the few days there. He even got some plumbing assistance out of his dad. He said that he would have to think of something to keep him busy the next time we come also. - - - - - Maybe we'll have to find someone else with floor space for sleeping. lol
We did have good trips both ways, just a few rain drops now and then. And Gary did have me drive some. Our MH stayed safely behind at the Campground. So mission was accomplished.
Will get out and about in Syracuse starting next week. So we may have more photos for you then.

Gary & Audrey,

I look forward to seeing your pictures and reports; keep them coming.

My friend and I have been talking about travelling around the country in a motor home after rtirement(with our wives)exactly like you are doing, so we are extremely jealous right now.
I have forwarded your blog page to him so he can see what we are missing.
Thanks,
Mike Buhecker (SES)
