Wayne, Good to hear from you. On the RV specs. It has a V10 on a Ford Chassis, 36' Coachman Aurora with 75 gallon tank that gets a whopping 6.2 MPG. It is great and I'm becoming a pro a driving this mug. It sleeps six in the beds(two on the floor and four on the roof). Talk with you soon.
Tim
San Fran Bay I just remembered that San Fran Bay is where Scott Peterson dumped Stacy's body and her and her baby washed up somewhere in that area. Do you remember that trial? You're doing good with trying new things. Keep it up.
Love,
Mamma
Dawn I called Ginny's cell and left your cell # so she can tell Dawn to call you. I didn't get to talk to Ginny so I don't know where they are today. She will probably call me when she gets home. Maybe Dawn will be there before you leave San Fran. Have fun and be safe. Love you! Mamma
Wish I were there Hey Candy,
I have been reading through your blog and it looks like you guys are having a great time. What a wonderful adventure for you all! I have been to many of the places you have visited and have enjoyed looking at the pictures you have taken. It has brought back a lot of good memories. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. There is so much in this great big world to see! Enjoy the all :)
P. S. Give my love to Kayla
life is a highway that probably would be my song ... big T you are the man driving all over the country in your own world waking up everyday looking at something else god has made....... awesome ....... not only that but it sounds like you have a personal concierge and two buddies along for the ride the other night i could have swore i heard somebody say by the campfire hey candy bring me smore crown and ginger ale i know ya"ll are having a good time and it sounds great...... big t... if you only liked to fish you could have wet a hook in the best rivers and lakes in the world... but if crawling on your belly through lava is your thing well hell it is your world.. be safe keep in touch and thanx for the pics candy great job
Fears to Conquer These blogs have certainly 'taught' me a lot! I've learned that Candy doesn't like bridges, appears to be afraid of heights (the space needle) and is still afraid of the dark (caving, or lack there of). Tim, take her on Space Mountain at DisneyLand. The roller coaster is sort of like a suspension bridge, it goes really high and travels through the dark!!! This way she can conquer all her fears at once. I know she will probably hate me for the suggestion :-)
I'm thinking you need to leave Candy in Sausilito, cause she might be afraid of that big suspension bridge in CA. Better know as the Golden Gate! A whole other world of fun awaits you all in CA. When are you going to be in Vegas, maybe I should join you!
Happy travels! Love Lynn
I knew you could do it Sounds like you are doing great. You've logged in a lot of miles in a short period of time. I would not(even for a second) be doing the driving you're doing but I'm glad you have this under control. It really is the best way to see the US. I was wondering if anyone had said anything about the southern drawl we all are famous for. I know people live and talk differently according to their region but basicly we all have the same feelings and desires and problems no matter where we are from. Be safe and have fun. Be careful and come home safe. We miss you too. How are the prices out there? How is the food?
Miss you Momma !! I can only blog and post pictures when we are in areas that have internet service which in these hills is not very many. We are really learning a lot as well as having a great time ! Be sure to email me Dawn's info and I'll call her when we get to San Fran and see if she's back in town. That would be so cool to see her again !! Please take good care of Misty and call me the minute little Nina gets here and tell me all about her !! Kayla loves her PJ's and I got some for Amber too ! I miss you and Daddy so much but we'll be home before you know it and it will all be worth it !! Keep praying for us to have safe travels and I'll talk to you soon, Love ya, Candy.
Glad to hear you finally got a new broom !! Hey, your broom has been working great !! As a matter of fact, I used it again today. Tim found some more caves (sea lion caves) so the three muskateers are going to do it again tomorrow ! We miss ya'll so much and I can't wait to get back and show everyone all the pictures !! Love ya'll and we'll see ya in July !! Candy

Daily fix I'm glad to see you're back, I mean I can get my daily fix again. I always go to your blog to see where you are and what's happening. All of you are really getting a hands on education with this trip and something you'll never forget. Ginny and family
(including Dawn) are at Tybee Island this week but I told her to send info so maybe she'll be back in San Francisco when you get there. Misty is going in Monday (a week early) to have the baby. She is ready. So we'll have a little Nina around 12:30 Monday. I can hardly wait. Be safe and have fun. Kayla LOVE THOSE PJ'S Love, Mamma
We'll save all the gambling for Vegas !! Momma, you and Lynn would have never survived !! There are so many of those little casinos (like in the pictures) everywhere that we quit counting at like 100 ! We would never be able to stop for food and gas with you two and just imagine if Peggy and Sheryl were with us too !! I love you guys and miss you bunches !! Candy
Great Idea !! That is hilarious and I totally wouldn't put it pass Tim to do something like that. I bet I catch him online looking at sticker companies !! Pray for all the little animals of the world !! Take Care, Candy
Hey !! We were all saying that the pictures don't do the real things justice. It is so much more beautiful than what can be captured in the pictures. I was really scared at Subway, more for Emily than for myself. Tim is getting lots of good sleep and he's doing an amazing job at navigating us throughout the US ! I talked to Patrick today and he seemed excited about his new truck. I hate it that it's come to this right now but we all have to do what we have to do to survive. Speaking of surviving, are you getting ready to bake some cookies???? Tell Daddy to keep that garden going and we'll be home soon for somemore homegrown goodies ! Love ya, Candy
WHAT A TRIP All of you are really having some great experiences and I love the blogs. I go to them every morning to see what's new, keep them coming. It's almost like being with you. The pictures are breathtaking so I can't imagine what it's like to see everything in person. I bet you were scared at Subway, I would have been too. I guess that is the way they handle things there. Tell Tim not to get too tired. We miss you too. All is the same here. We had a good time Father's Day and Hunter was happy but it was strange being at your house without you. Patrick got his truck and is on the road too. I'm still working and your Daddy is still going to Bill's everyday. Nothing has changed. He! He! Have fun and come home safe.
Love, Mamma
small game Hey Tim:
Sounds like you are handling the RV like a weapon. You need to get some stencils made like the small game you've killed with it, and paint the driver's side with em, like the fighter pilots...By the time you get back to Georgia, you'll be an RV ACE!!
What no gambling! I can't believe you have passed that many Casinos and haven't stopped at even one. That is truly amazing, but yet I am so disappointed!!
Love ya,
Lynn
Yellowstone Hi Guys!
You sound like you are having a wonderful time. Reading your blogs bring back memories for us. We vacationed in Yellowstone a few years back, and stayed at the Old Faithful Inn. That was cool. We could see Old Faithful going off right from our room! Ahh, the memories. Glad you are taking pictures too. You are doing a great job with this blog Candy!
Take care and drive safe
Wayne and Noreen
Praise the Lord ! Jennifer, I am so happy for you and Joel. I know this is a wonderful milestone in your life and I'm sorry I'm not there with you. I promise as soon as we get back we'll get together. Please tell Joel that I'm so proud of him and tell him I said Thank You for making you so happy ! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow ! I love you and miss you, Candy
