This is a memorable Mother's Day, here in Petersburg MI. We left Hutchinson, Kansas and headed through Kansas City (with a very long delay due to road construction) [but we can report that "everything's up to date in Kansas City] we saw some nice neighbourhoods as we took a secondary route to try to get around the traffic mess. We carried on to St. Louis thinking that we would camp nearby and then go in to the city in the morning to go up in the arch! Apparently there are oval shaped trams that can take you up to the top to a viewing room. It was a really hot drive - 90+ (finally, when we have to head for home) - and then when we thought it over, we realized that it was a Sunday and Mother's Day - likely to be a popular outing, and busy. So we decided to hit the road. We drove all day, a big loop around Indianapolis and through Ft. Wayne up to Toledo, Ohio. We are just past Toledo, at an amazing KOA. We are the only campers - no one else here that we can see - but this place must rock in the summer. It has a water slide, fishing area, playgrounds for big and little kids, and a baseball diamond and a soccer field. Glad we're not here when the hoards are!
Thinking about home. Wonder how dusty the house will be? Have seen tulips, lilacs and cherry trees in bloom around here - so should have some blooms at home too. It will be great to be back in our "big bed" - although we are very comfortable in the camper. We are out of food, not bothering to shop. I brought too many clothes, but didn't anticipate needed all the warm stuff so much!
Next time, we want to go back to St. Louis, the north rim of the Grand Canyon, back to Bryce to do some hiking, and more time in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. And Barb wants to play more golf!
We stopped @ "Wendy's" for lunch - and had clean out the fridge for supper - two left over spare ribs, 4 hot dogs, rice, broccoli, peas and onion stir fry - yum...
Barb is up in Cribbage by two!
