Camped last night at Wilson Island State Park on the western border of Iowa. For yet another night we set up camp in a light rain and broke camp in the mist. This was our most primitive camp yet. We had pit toilets! But $11 a night is not bad. In Omaha, Nebraska, then went in search of breakfast. You cannot prove by us that there are any restaurants in Omaha open for breakfast. We made cheese sandwiches and ate in the car while parked on a downtown street. Then we went to the Gerald Ford Birthplace and took pictures in the garden but the museum is closed on weekends. After that we drove north on US 75 through the Winnebago Reservation and crossed back into Iowa at Sioux City to visit the gravesite of Sargeant Floyd, the only member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition to die on the expedition. We then headed north to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We treated ourselves to a night at a Fairfield Inn and a dinner and a beer at Texas Roadhouse Grill!

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
