So what's happened in the time since our last post? We have continued our travels around the country and have met some very wonderful people, renewed old friendships, visited great places, and we're able to participate in some milestone events.
We've stayed in some awesome RV parks and some overnight spots were one night seemed to be forever. Fortunately there were only a couple of those and they are our list of "No Stays". Our favorites thus far and in no particular order are the Air Force Academy, Creede, CO, Ft Sam Houston RV Park @ Canyon Lake, TX, Bentson Palms RV Park, Mission, TX, South Padre Island, TX, Kirtland AFB, NM, Ft Myers Beach, FL and Cudjoe Key, FL.
To help a little on the geography, Cudjoe Key is at mile marker 23. That means we are 23 miles from Key West and all it's excitement. The place where we are parked looks over the Atlantic Ocean. I step out our door of the RV and walk 10 feet beyond the rear of the RV and drop my fishing line into the boat canal. We are able to have a 35 ft boat park at our spot. Who knows what'll happen while we're here.
Some of the milestone events that we participated in were seeing the Brickyard 400 up close from the infield of the track, being at the Grand Ole Opry when the Oak Ridge Boys were inducted into their membership, being at Graceland for the anniversary of the death of Elvis, and being with my friend Virgil when he picked up his new boat, a fully decked out used 2004 Dusky 233.
There were also family milestones that occurred. Our granddaughter Jessica graduated from high school. Considering all that she has been through in her life, we were thrilled to able to witness and celebrate that great day. Then there was the wedding of our grandson Mac to Jenifer. As far as I'm concerned that was the 4th best wedding I ever attended, ours, our daughters and his. The only problem with it is that it means we are definitely getting older. Although we are not feeling it at all.
Our health has been blessed. Rose and I are feeling extremely well. Our biggest issue is finding all of these excellent restaurants around the country. It means that we really have to exercise more than ever. I'm sure that we'll get plenty of that here in the Keys.
Well enough for now. We are going to work harder at keeping up the blog on a regular basis. We've had many requests from our friends who want to share our travels.
