Well heck, you would think by now we would be getting used to all this crazy cold New England weather but when you wake up on July 2nd and it’s so cold you can see your breathe, that’s just insane !! We decided last night that we were going to sleep in this morning so we didn’t even set the alarm on Tim’s phone. Somewhere around 11:00 am we rolled on out of bed to another rainy day. The thermometer on the window said it was 53 degrees and I believe it ! We actually had to cut the heat on [View Full Entry]

Oh my goodness ya’ll, it was 54 degrees when we woke up this morning ! Have you ever experienced a July 1st in this kind of weather ? It is freezing cold and Tim is lovin’ every minute of it ! He walked outside in his shorts and flip flops and never even skipped a beat. I, on the other hand, was trying to figure out a way to wear my long johns under my clothes today. Jon has pretty much gotten accustomed to it living over in Pennsylvania and all but I prefer the sunshine over this mess any day. [View Full Entry]

We awoke this morning in beautiful Cape Ann, Massachusetts. We were told that it was a popular tourist town with scenic coastlines, beautiful beaches and elegant restaurants that serve some of the world’s finest seafood. We even heard that the old movie "The Perfect Storm" and the new movie "The Proposal" were filmed here. Of course, we would have to take everyone’s word for it because all we could see were the deep dark clouds hovering over us and the smoky fog from the bay. It seems as though the rain is following us along our journey through The New England [View Full Entry]

I heard the first rain drops somewhere around 3 am this morning. I opened one eye long enough to make sure it was rain pounding down on the motor home and not something else and then I fell quickly back to sleep. Don’t ya just love sleeping in the rain ?? I do, and that’s exactly what I did until about 9 o’clock or so. Tim kept nudging me telling me we needed to get up but all I wanted to do was just listen to the rain bouncing off the rooftop. I eventually had to roll out of bed and [View Full Entry]

Everyone slept wonderfully last night and we all awoke this morning to a cloudy and brisk Rhode Island day. I was very shocked to see that the outdoor thermometer read 59 degrees. No wonder Jon said his toes were about to freeze off ! This was definitely an oatmeal morning so, as soon as we were all finished getting ready (without incident I might add), Tim and I sat at the kitchen table and enjoyed our oatmeal while Jon decided he would stick with a bowl of Cheerios. Our first adventure today would take us up the road to Newport, Rhode [View Full Entry]

I know it’s asking a lot to be able to wake up and have a nice peaceful uneventful morning on the road, but that’s still what I want and I just know it will happen, but it will have to wait until tomorrow ! I would venture to say that 99% of the time I am the first one to get up and get things crackin’ while we’re traveling in the motor home. Yes, it’s because I’m a girl and it takes me so much longer to get beautified than it does for a boy. You would think that I would [View Full Entry]

I have to admit, even though I was worrying myself to death last night over the whole bridge thing, the minute my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light !! There's just something about those darn Wal-Mart parking lots that's so soothing to the soul, NOT !! We didn't even open up the living room, we just retracted the bed and hit the sack ! Tim set his alarm clock for 8 am and we were off to la la land. Little did we know that we wouldn't be needing the alarm on Tim's cell phone because we [View Full Entry]

As many of you may know, we took a 44 day trip last Summer that took us all the way out to California and back home. We covered many states and we were so blessed to be able to experience much of what America has to offer. We decided that we had so much fun last year and made so many unforgettable memories that we were going to hit the road again this Summer. Most you of may also know that between Tim and myself, we have four children. We really wanted to spend some time with all of them this [View Full Entry]

Day 41 - Tim Hits The Jackpot ! Good Morning !! Well, it looks like I survived the 21st floor last night and I'm just praying that they will keep their word today and move us down a little closer to the Earth sometime before night fall. We finally made it to the room around midnight last night and we both just crashed !! That was a very long Birthday drive yesterday, but we were here now and we were definitely going to make the best of it. We got up this morning, well, actually it was afternoon, we showered and [View Full Entry]
