Road Trip
Welcome to Gigi’s
Way back in our courtship days, the two of us loved to go to Gigi’s for pizza, it was the only place we knew of that offered green olives as a pizza topping. Since then the original Pasadena, Florida location has closed but lucky for us the Newberne family still runs...
Settling Back In
Just as dark was gathering here in the cove we arrived home from our rambles, backed our T@B into the driveway, greeted a neighbor, started the process of getting the T@B ready for winter, moving back into the house including getting the gas fireplace up and running...
Praline Cheesecake

Into the East

Hot Springs After Dark
After getting situated at the national park campground, we four piled into our truck and made our way into the heart of historic Hot Springs. First challenge was figuring out where to park! From there we toured one of the historic bathhouses along Bathhouse Row and...
Caravans
This is a first for us, traveling in caravan with friends from campground to campground. We have met up in campgrounds with friends Stan & Mary on more than one occasion and with T@B friends but we've never traveled in an RV caravan before today. We're traveling...
Clear Spring Campground
On Wright Patman Lake near Texarkana in eastern Texas, we're staying on Site A-5 in Clear Spring Campground. Mid-week, early November, there's ample availability of campsites but since we were planning a rendezvous with Sharon and Mike, we called (877) 444-6777 to...

OUR VERY
LATEST
Bluegrass on Prairie Island
As we left the Minneapolis-St Paul area we deliberately avoided the urban section of the Great River Road and instead skirted the Twin Cities to the south and east to Hastings where we picked up the scenic road again. As the road meandered along the west bank of the...
Historic Fort Snelling
Today’s adventure yielded so much more than we ever expected even from a Minnesota Historical Society site. The human history at what became Fort Snelling here at the confluence of the Minnesota and the Mississippi Rivers began at least 10,000 years ago according to...
The Falls of St Anthony
Despite misgivings about venturing into the traffic of a metropolitan area, we headed into the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota. After finding a garage parking site (We love the ParkMobile app) and breakfasting at the nearby Farmers Kitchen + Bar, we walked the short...
