We have arrived home! The first few days after arriving home are very busy. A top priority was to see the grandkids. Such fun! Cody brought them over saying that he had to pick something up at the house and they were surprised to see the motor home there. They were very excited! Carlee joined us and we had pizza for dinner.
We also visited Jean who has just entered her 9th month. She is feeling good and still taking it easy. The baby is doing well, so if she delivers a little early, they are not concerned.
I am going to be posting some random thoughts about our great adventure this year.
Most interesting experience: We really enjoyed the Kennedy Space Center in Titusville, Florida. Extremely educational and interesting. It would be a wonderful experience for any young teen that is interested in aeronautics or space.
Best tour: The Harley-Davidson Factory in Pennsylvania. It was really amazing to be out on the floor right next to the assembly line. The Chevrolet Corvette Factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky was also good.
Biggest disappointments: The Nautilus Museum in New London, Connecticut, was closed for a 2 week renovation when we were there. Bob had been looking forward to that. We were also never able to ride on an actual stern wheeler on the Mississippi. We tried several times along the way but every time we booked a trip something happened to cancel it!
Best water adventure: Rode on an air boat in Florida. Very exciting.
It was interesting to see the difference in class of the motor home parks. When you book a park ahead, and don't know the area, you really don't know exactly what will be there. Most of the time we were happy with the facilities and the park in general. People were gracious and really nice in all of them. Even if the facilities were not the best, it didn't matter as we always use our own shower, bathroom and beds! They never varied! There was 1 park in Florida that was a little sketchy. The people were extremely friendly, but we noticed that about half the women (remember that they are mostly over 50) had tattoos! Tattoos on older people spoke volumes. Also, aging tattoos are not good!
