From Rowleys Bay, WI

We have been so excited all day as we’ve headed “home”.  In fact, when we crossed into Door County we broke out into a gusty rendition of Mozart’s “Hallelujah Chorus”! Continue reading

From South Haven, MI

We left the Indianapolis area this morning, and instead of traveling on the freeway, we took US-31 north past Kokomo and South Bend.  On this route we were traveling through more rural settings and it was peaceful. Continue reading

From Pelham, AL

It’s not easy sleeping in a cabin with a hard mattress and two cats who are loose around you all night.  By the time morning rolled around, we were ready to get out of there.  It took three trips over to where our RV was for Mark to transport the cats and our stuff back, and the second time he returned to the cabin he told me that the part for our RV had just come in.  By the time I was able to go over, the guys were saying the RV would be done in an hour and a half.  Mark and I decided to check out the town while we waited.  There wasn’t much to the town, but we found this beautiful field: Continue reading

The Sunday after the storm

I emailed everyone I could think of this morning to forestall anyone worrying about us when they saw the news about the tornado that hit close to where we are.  For those of you who didn’t get an email, you needn’t worry about Mark and me.  We slept through the whole storm and it didn’t greatly affect Sun N Fun.  We’ve seen lots of Spanish moss on the ground and one of the wifi towers was down this afternoon, but everyone here in the park is safe.

I want to do it all!

This morning we met with Mary Beth and she took us on a tour of all the places we’ll be cleaning.  When we first talked with her in our phone interview, she said we’d be cleaning the bath houses, and I thought she said we’d be cleaning the activity center.  Today I realized she said the activity centers!  Remember all those shops I mentioned before?  The lapidary shop, the stained glass shop, the art center, etc, etc?  No wonder it’s going to be a forty hour a week job!

From Edisto Island, SC

What a beautiful day!  I mean, it was cloudy, but kind of picturesque.  There is a lot of water in South Carolina, not the least of which is the Atlantic Ocean.  We’ve been near the Atlantic Ocean before, but this is the first time we got our feet wet in it.  I have pictures: Continue reading

On top of Stone Mountain

Mark and I went to explore the mountain today.  We decided to be really daring and buy a one-way ticket for the sky tram to the top of the mountain.  There is a trail that people can take in either direction or both.  We weren’t daring enough to try both! Continue reading
