April 3-21, 2020 Las Vegas

We made it to Las Vegas.

So nice to do quarantine with great friends,

good food and beverages.

 Oh the food

Ever wonder what the strip looks

like with no one there.

                      Fremont Street Empty

If you look close you can see

Hope Shines Bright

In lights

The street virtually empty and no one on 

the sidewalks

                             Soaking up some sun                   Kona the Queen

There is a horse stable a couple of blocks away

Odd to see in the middle of a city.  I think it 

was there before the city

 The Thunderbirds gave a fly over.

It was a thrill

 We are so blessed with the wonderful hospitality and love 

that Flo & Bob showed us.

There is a time when friends become family and 

they are our family.

And now we start the long drive back to Michigan

and more family. 

March 24th - 29th, 2002 Arizona

The FMCA Rally was cancelled and the FamCamps 

are closed so we stayed at the Pima Fairgrounds.

It was beautiful.  For safety sake we were

parked every other sight and the AZ 

sunsets are beautiful.  

Here are the sights on the fairgrounds.

Moon shot over the RV

 We took a drive up to the 

Mt. Lemmon ski resort

We were up high enough to find snow

  If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology.  We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.

Next off to Las Vegas

Heading to Bowie March 2020 in Bowie to

We left Oak Harbor March 7, 2020

The media was just starting to talk about the coronavirus.

We spent our first night on the road at Tallahassee RV Park.

We have stayed here before.  It's a nice little park for an overnight but the sights are too close for us.

We ate at a Backwoods Crossing.  It is a farm to table restaurant

who has it's farm in the backyard.

This is the Pollen Season

Rye, ginger, lemon and 

apple blossom bitters.                                                                                                     Doing the blog so long after

we ate means that I forgot what

we had but I remember it was 

GREAT!

We always return to the same FamCamp.

Lake Walker in Hattiesburg, MS

We were able to return to one 

of our favorite restaurant

Cotton Blue

We ALWAYS get the shrimp & rabbit egg rolls and 

roasted beet salad

And we tried the fried green tomatoes with pork

Bill's blackened redfish oscar.

He ate it all

Pulled pork nachos.

I could NOT eat it all. 

 We shared a lemon tart.

It was yummy and not too sweet.

We found a new fun restaurant called

Glory Bounty.  Our waitress and food 

were both wonderful.

As we head west we stopped in Bowie for a few days.

She has talked about earrings

so we found a few pair of little girl 

clip on earrings 

We had to get a new bigger better

mattress because our old one

finally sprung a leak during the night

We camped in the city park.

It was $15 a night electric and water.

They had a dump station.  It was perfect.

Teaching grandpa to play Mario Cart.

You know your in Bowie when you see the 

Bowie Knife

We left Bowie March 22nd and headed west.
