Little did I know, I would actually enjoy it too. To be honest – History is not my gig. But I really really really enjoyed this museum. It was so well done – interesting things to see, great presentations, and very entertaining. HIGHLY recommend! And after all of the fun Lincoln photo-ops, we drove over […]
What a fun city! My parent’s also were able to make the stop in Chicago with us, which was so fun to have them and my niece along! We took the drive around the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, through Wisconsin and down into Illinois. This completed an entire loop around Lake Michigan! Check out our […]
It’s true… I am nearing 4 weeks behind on blog updates. But wow, have we done a lot! We just completed our first week of a whole lot of nothing – so I am finally catching up on sleep and to-do lists! Top on that are all my blog updates! So that leads me to….. […]
If you don’t already know this about us, we have TWO Type 1 Diabetics in the family! Both myself (Kristin) and our oldest, Sydnee. Thanks to my own parents instilling a “Diabetes doesn’t stop you” attitude in me, we are where we are today! Our philosophy is that T1 does NOT keep us from doing […]
What a beautiful little town… South Haven, Michigan. We stayed at Van Buren State Park, and this was our first experience with ONLY electric hook ups, since we left Texas. (Typically we have electric, water and sewer). This just forced us to watch our water usage and watch our tanks, so they did not over-fill. […]
While staying at the Wisconsin Dells, we took a day-trip into Madison to check out the city. We started off at the capitol building. Of course it was closed, so we just took a walk around it. The kids were amused that the statue on top weighs 3 tons, is covered in gold leaf and […]
I have to start by saying…. the Dells were not what we signed up for originally. For all of my friends who know nothing about the Dells, it’s most known for the summer waterparks, lake activities and touristy shops. Due to Covid, SO many things were closed. Covid completely changed our experience but not for […]
Continuing on our travels to the North….. we made our way to Minneapolis. Check out the pretty yellow flowers along the road! We stayed at a nice RV park on the southside of the city, called Lebanon Hills Regional Park. It was very well kept and pretty…. it had some great trails and was very […]
Leaving Kansas, we had a couple long travel days on our way to Wisconsin. We saw so many things, I am going to break these days into two separate posts! Travel day 1: We said our sweet goodbyes to family in Kansas, and made our way towards Kansas City, Missouri. Our first stop: National World […]
I cannot tell you how excited we all were to go visit “The Farm” in Kansas. David has family who farm crops out in Kansas and they graciously let us stay on their land, fed us so many yummy meals, entertained us, and taught us more than we have ever known about farming! We were […]
