Sunday, May 19: What a restless night's sleep. The outdoor temperature had cooled off nicely last night so we opened up the windows hoping it would cool us off inside. Nope. It was hot and muggy and noisy. Between the airplane take-offs and freeway noise, it was rough. We should have just given in and... Continue Reading →

Last night we kept the A/C running, pulled all the heavy blankets and my sleeping bag off the bed, and put a fan in the room. We did all that and it was still uncomfortably warm in the RV, until about 3 am, then it was comfy. We were both a little restless for the... Continue Reading →

Wednesday, May 15: We woke up early to the sound of happy birds and very blue sky's. We had to back track down the same teeny road we drove down last night. The only difference was this morning it had traffic on it. Clusters of big trucks kept zipping by us in the on-coming lane.... Continue Reading →

Monday, May 13: Today we got up early because we were excited to go into Washington DC and visit the Police Officer's Memorial. This whole week is National Police Week.

Saturday, May 11: Mike made waffles for breakfast! Amazing waffles. I know Fred is an awesome cook, but apparently so is his brother. The waffles tasted like homemade whipped cream but in the form of waffles...How do you even do that?!👍 After waffles, Vanessa prepped a pot roast for the slow cooker. She is an... Continue Reading →
