Oklahoma is a loooonnnngggg state

Waking up on the Arkansas River was beautiful. I could definitely return for a longer period of time. We had very kind neighbors who helped get us parked last night. Isaac started talking to them, turns out they are newly retired. He was a big wig in a lumber company and decided to retire after the company told him he was the top lumber seller for the company, but needed to improve because he was 6 million short for 2020. I think I would've retired also.

Anyways, we woke up and Isaac cooked bacon and eggs and he and little Isaac plotted out our next route. It was gonna be a long day through Oklahoma. 

The biggest excitement was seeing the windmills! The boys were fascinated by these giants.  The boys were give and take this trip. A couple of grumpies who didn't sleep well, some snack monsters and movie potatoes and we made it.

We had planned for 8 hours, but knowing we would be arriving again after dark at the next stop, we decided to cut today short and then hit the road early today. We found a new RV Park called Wanderlust. It was a winner. Or as Emory says Winner winner Chicken Dinner. It was clean, had a little playground, and quiet. 

Supper was chicken fajitas and campfire veggies. Hit the hay. Our goal time was 8:30. 

We made our goal by 35 minutes! Know how? It started to rain...Who likes packing up in the rain?!?

Today we are trucking through the rest of Oklahoma, through Texas, and onto New Mexico. 

Talk to ya tonight!

It's getting hot in here (Lake Havasu City)

It's been awhile. We made it to Lake Havasu City, Arizona back in April and here is mid July and we are moving on. It seemd like a short time here, but then again when you do a 6 month contract, 13 weeks does seem super short. Here are my thoughts on Lake Havasu City.  Lake Havasu City is interesting. A man built City and island to attract tourists. A bridge bought from England for the purpose of being rebuilt to attract tourist and it worked. It's the second highest ranked tourist attraction in the state of Arizona. Each brick was numbered and outlined and crated to be rebuilt exactly true to its original form. The picture below is the outline of all the numbered bricks. It's beautiful here. It has amazing sunrises and sunsets. It's the true definition of a painted desert. We have loved every glimpse of those we get.  The mountains and rocks are something you'd see out of a movie and we are in awe of the beauty the desert holds. Daily we drive over the ...

Let's take a road trip to Alaska....1 month this week!

Image
Most people hope to be able to travel and see the world once they retire. If there is anything life has taught me is: mine as well do it now, for we are never promised tomorrow. And by doing it now, I get to have the adventures with my husband and boys by my side. On our time. I'm not having to wait till they are grown and settled in their own lives to make plans and hope everyone can make it. We are all here now. Has it been easy? Not always. Just like life in bricks, RV life has its challenges. Things need to be fixed. And unless we fix it ourselves, we have to move out of our home until it is fixed. We are navigating life in a 43 ft amount of space. Travel days are long and make me nervous and ready to be there already. But, we get to see the United States and all it has to offer. We also know we still have an amazing village of family and friends we can still rely on back home.  Back in Arizona the question or opportunity came up about doing a contract in Alaska. We knew 2 thin...

Eli Blog- Maple Tree Farm

  Yesterday I went to the maple syrup farm. It had a sugar shack with  a  lot of maple syrup. And it had a lot snow on his farm. I learned how maple syrup was made. I learned all the types of maple syrup. And I learned the type of maple syrup depends on the season. I thought the maple syrup we tasted was pretty good I liked the fist one the most. The guys dogs was very nice and playful. I thought how he made the maple syrup was cool.
