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.

PAULA DEAN'S RESTAURANT - LADY & SONS

OK, WE DID IT! Yes, we went to Lady and Sons to eat. It was a wonderful lunch and we were stuffed. I had their crab burger and French fries (which were potato slices, breaded and deep fried) and Gary had their chicken pot pie. We really are glad that we did not wait around all day for dinner as we would not have slept well afterward. It really is rich food and yummie! The building was an old warehouse, renovated, and we ate on the third floor. The kitchen is on the second floor. We began the day with Gary dropping me off at the restaurant about a half hour before they opened the reception booth, so that I could sign in and choose a time. That is their procedure, no phoned reservations! I was about six from the front of the line and really could have had any choice. The half hour went fast as there are other tourists to visit with. Gary drove around the block over and over to pick me back up when finished. We then took the Tour Bus to go to City Market to see what is there. There was just more tourist boutiques and the horse carriage tours! From there we went to an Antique Mall on Bay Street again and finished the other two floors of it that we did not see the first time. Then we went down the steps to River Street to see the ships and the back drop of River Street, which is more boutiques and restaurants. Once we had whiled away enough time, we walked to and rested in Wright Square, which is one of the cities 22 squares. We enjoy watching the people and looking at the buildings. . Wright Square is pretty well surrounded by large bank buildings of both past and present. Then we went on to Paula Dean's store connected to her restaurant on Congress Street. I hate to say it, but I did not see anything that I could not live with out! But the lunch made it worth while. It was 2 p.m. before we left for home. So it was about our limit for a day. We usually do five or six hours! Tonight we are going out to dinner at the Pink Pig, near the campground, with the Sunday School Class that we have been visiting. So we are looking forward to some good fellowship and food. I am sure that we will need to cut back on food next week!!! Stay tuned! We are not sure what we might do next. We still have about two weeks here! Take care!
