Our History

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.

VISITING WITH OHIO FRIENDS ON THEIR WAY THROUGH and BLUE ANGELS PRACTICE in FL

It is always wonderful to visit with old friends!!  Bill and Jane were on their way through here on the way from AZ to Orlando.  It was neat to hear of their experiences, especially at Yuma when they crossed the border into Mexico.  They also keep us up to date on the work camping at Mesa Regal and also on the friends we made there.
Sunday after church we stopped at KFC and picked up dinner, taking it to Holt where Bill and Jane were parked.  Great to see you again and you look like the life style is sure agreeing with you!!
 
 
The week began with a trip in the motor home to a glass place in Pensacola, only to find out that they did not feel that they were staffed to take care of our problem.  So we had to make an appointment to take the motor home to Mobile AL on Wednesday. 
 
On Tuesday, with wonderful sunny weather in the 80's, we drove down to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola to see the Navy's Blue Angels in practice.  We had planned to do this when the boys were here, but weather did not co-operate.  But, better late than never!!  Enjoy the pictures.  They are in the order in which they were in the air and on the field in front of us.  We had front row view in our own lawn chairs.  We also ended up with sunburns!!

Prop Trainers were used to start the show.

Fire Truck for Emergency, if needed.


F-18 Blue Angels





Diamond Pattern






The Marine's Blue Angels transport.



Exiting crowd.  There were actually a lot there!
Wednesday's practice was supposed to have an autograph time with the pilots, but that did not warrant going back for us.  They did say that the Blue Angel pilots average age is 33.  Seems so young to us, maybe because we are getting older??


Wednesday will be Blog material for another day since we will be Mobile AL for the day.  Tune in again.
