When I was in 7th and 8th grade, my grandparents took me to Canada and Naples, FL for vacation. They loved to travel and I was extremely blessed to have been asked to travel with them these two years. They introduced me to five star resturants, hotels that touched the sky, and the wonders of the interstate from the back seat of a car.

I lost my grandma several years ago, and my grandpa passed away last June.

My daughter and I cried when we closed the door for the last time. Even at the young age of 8, so many great memories were made here.)

Our first trip in the RV is off to a great start. We let each child (ages 5 and 8) pack a box of toys to put under their beds (couch).

It became our second artwork feature in the Winnebago. The first artwork is the bulletin board of pictures from all of our camping trips in the travel trailer. We like to take a picture each time we camp to remember the fun and scenery. At age 5, our son has so many lasting memories and detailed stories to tell about each of our previous trips. My dad, the kid's grandpa, is traveling with ... read more
