2017 Summer Travels – the start in Wisconsin


How can we possibly write about all that we did while in Wisconsin, from June 15 to July 13, 2017? We were so active, we just didn’t have time to regularly write posts of our travels for this month. I’m sad as we are already losing some memories we were making that we try to capture in our posts. So we’ll start with some summaries and see how it goes.  First, let’s learn a little about Wisconsin.

We decided to tour Wisconsin after Bill “noticed” it was directly above Illinois – where we visited family. After our family visit, we needed a route back to Virginia, where we will spend August. It seemed natural to go to Wisconsin rather than Michigan, our original plan….more about that route later! Continue Reading

Full Circle, back to Jacksonville, Florida (Winter 2017 Part 10)


This entire leg, from our farthest point west in Mississippi (Davis Bayou Campground) (green dot), to our highest point north, Montgomery, Alabama (B), to Fort Gaines, Georgia (D) to Eastbank, Georgia (D), to our overnight stop in Madison, Florida (E), to Hannah Park, Jacksonville, Florida (checked dot)  is about 620 miles and would be about 10 1/2 hours in a car. Bill drives the motor home slower since we are also towing our car.

Our 2017 winter journey actually came full circle!  Click here to see a map of the first part of our winter travels, which only reflects our time starting and ending in Jacksonville. This is actually our fourth winter RVing, but only our third as full-timers. While we are residents of Florida, our “home” base is becoming Fredericksburg, Virginia – near our daughter, son-in-law and two precious grandsons. We spend between four and five months there a year, spread out. So our circle actually started there the first of January and will end there the beginning of May, before we embark upon another summer travel schedule. We have been at this now long enough, we more or less know how we like to travel. Or do we? We really didn’t know how this winter would go, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

Nothing to complain about….


 


An update

Debbie L's avatarReal life....

We are nearing the end of six weeks in our home away from home base.  We have been so blessed to be with our daughter and her family during this time.  They bought a new to them house nearly two years ago, when the oldest grandson was nearly one and the other grandson was only a dream. When we return in August, the oldest with turn three and the baby will turn one!

Bill is a handyman, jack of all trades, master of none (jk). When we come to visit, he likes to work, so he has been tackling all the repairs and refreshing the home. It’s the best of all worlds since both our daughter and her husband work full time.  And we are just carrying on the legacy our parents left for us. They also helped us when we bought our first home.

The major project this time…
