I had planned to go to the Appliqué Getaway and I am so glad that I went. I learned so much and we had a great time at the motorhome park!!

Galveston
May 12-19, 2017
Tom and I headed to Galveston for a week get-away. We love going to the beach. We had a great time visiting the city and the beach. We always stay at a wonderful park, Dellanera RV Park. It is right on the beach.
While we were there, we went to the Grand Theater and saw Arlo Guthrie. It was a great concert. We couldn't believe how many people our age were there. Arlo put on a terrific concert. What a great opportunity to see and hear music we remembered!

April 2017
We went to a Motorhome Rally the end of April, sponsored by National Indoor. It was held at WinStar Casino. We had a great time meeting other people with motorhomes, and the people in charge really showed us a good time. We were treated to a spa appointments, dinners and lots of fun. We enjoy getting to know other people and hearing about there adventures. We are always amazed at how many people live in their motorhomes full time.

April 5, 2017
We have a wonderful new grand baby. She is beautiful and we are delighted!!
After our meeting and helping with Vivienne, we are back on the road!! We left Garland on April 5 and began our trek to Fredericksburg. It was such a wonderful time of exploring and fun!! Fredericksburg was one of our favorite places to visit. We had a great time. Each day we tried something new, We went to Luckenbach on Sunday. There were musicians singing and people visiting. It was a relaxed and fun time!! One day we went to the loop for bluebonnets called Willow City Loop. It was wonderful to see the real beautiful nature in area!! The terrain is different and beautiful!! We toured some breweries, Perdernales and Fredericksburg brewing. It was good food, and we enjoyed learning about craft beer. We drove to Kerrville one day, and we loved the little town. It was a relaxing and enjoyable visit.

After leaving the rally in Las Vegas, we drove to Flagstaff and checked into the KOA there. The weather was chilly, and we really enjoyed that!! We toured around Flagstaff and got ready to go to Sedona the next day.
We loved Sedona. It was definitely different than our usual terrain!
This was a wonderful trip and the longest one that we have made!! It was our last trip for 2016. We are now waiting for our next grand baby to arrive!!

After leaving Sedona and Flagstaff, we began our trek home. We stop at Tucumcari, New Mexico and stayed at a KOA there. It was great seeing all the sites along Route 66. That was a big part of our trip!!

Amarillo and The Grand Canyon-October 2016
October 2016
We began our first real long travel trip on Monday, October 17. We were excited to head to Amarillo, Santa Fe, Flagstaff (Grand Canyon and Sedona), and then on to Las Vegas. We left on time and headed to Amarillo. It is a long drive for one day, and on the way Tom noticed that the coach engine was running toward hot. We called a repair shop for our RV engine, and they could take us on Tuesday. We stayed at our RV park on Monday evening, but instead of heading for Santa Fe, we took the RV in for repair. It was a long job, and we ended up staying in Amarillo in a hotel, and not leaving until Wednesday afternoon. We went as far as we could and ended up in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. We left the next morning and headed to Flagstaff, Arizona. We totally missed Santa Fe, but hopefully we will be able to stop on the way home. We enjoyed our trip on the way to Flagstaff. It was beautiful in New Mexico and Arizona. We had never driven west except on a Young Life trip in 1969. We were 16 and 17 at that time, so it has been a little while. We enjoyed the trip, but were really glad to get to our KOA and set up the motorhome!!
After the gorge, we headed to the Grand Canyon. We loved the chance to see this beautiful natural wonder. We started at the Desert View, and I believe it was my favorite view. We loved the Desert View Watchtower. It was built in 1936 and was really amazing.
We went to several of the lookout points, Navajo Point, Lipan Point, and Moran Point before we drove 22 miles to the Main Visitor Center.
At the Main Visitor Center we went to Mather Point. It was where you walked out on the rock, and could really see down in the canyon. We enjoyed this view, but really enjoyed the others more since they had fewer tourists. I read that only 3% of the people that see the Grand Canyon go further than the rim. I am one of those people. Don't plan to hike down in the Canyon.
After this view we drove to the older part of the park. It is called the village, and you can see the train depot and the hotels, etc. We found the cabins that we think the "young lifers" stayed in when we went to the Grand Canyon in 1969. While driving to the village, we say an elk saunter across the road. We also saw lots of deer while we were leaving. It was a wonderful and beautiful day. We had fun reminiscing about our first trip in 1969, and enjoyed the most wonderful day today!!

The next day we drove from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. We went to the South Rim through Cameron, AZ, and really enjoyed the scenery and the chance to see the Little Colorado River Gorge. It was part of the Navajo reservation, and we talked to a lady that was an artist at the Gorge. Had a great time!
