Lee Does A Happy Dance......

Sometime between 8:00 am and 8:15 am my e-mail LIT-UP... Apparently 2 of the people that had a lot to do with me quitting and re-tiring early. GOT LAID OFF.....

We are back in Portland

I guess I better post something so I don't get YELLED at by certain people. (and you know who you are) ha ha ha..... It has been Hot and Humid ever sense we got back. I have learned that being retired in this weather is not that bad. I just take it easy and take lots of breaks. Hey just like my old job..... LoL
Anyway we have been busy cleaning the truck and "Birdie" we were gone 10 weeks and put almost 11,000 miles. We really enjoyed our adventure and vacation and would do it again in a heart beat. We did talk and decided that we were gone a little long and next time we will keep it shorter.
We have also getting ready to send Brianna to the TRC. She is nervous as we are also. We got her packet this week and have been reading it over. They have lots of RULES that Brianna will have to live by...
OK that's it for now....... Are ya happy now?

Back to Tennessee

We are in Benton Illinois. Should be home by late tomorrow or Sunday. The place we are at right now is Beautiful. I only wish you all could see how pretty it is. The sites all have green grass landing and the RV is sitting on LEVEL gravel. There are plenty of large trees also. I took some pictures and will post them in a few days.

I know you all have heard about the bad weather back here but rest assured that we have not been effected by any of it.

Mount Rushmore

We are on the road towards home..... Thunder and Lightning here so I will post this fast

Good Bye Yellowstone

Today was our last day in Yellowstone. We drove most of the southern loop and saw some amazing stuff....... I hope you enjoy the pictures....

Tomorrow we head to Mt. Rushmore it will take at least 2 days......

God Bless you all...

Yellowstone/Tetons

Today we did a little Yellowstone (Geyser's and Bufflos) we saw Old Faithful and several others. Saw lots and lots Bufflos and then we drove to The Grand Tetons as you can see from the pictures Tetons were awesome and the Lodge at Lake Jackson was something to behold.... Tomorrow is relax and laundry day...

We Arrived at Yellowstone

We stayed at a Indian Casino (Fort Hall) for $20 with full hook ups. The place was awesome and very clean and the food at the Casino wasn't bad either.

We arrived at West Yellowstone around 2ish nice short drive (only 160 miles) little bit of rain... Check out the Bald Eagle nesting we stopped and got a picture (along with a whole bunch of people.)Nice Buffalo as you can see he stood still so I could pet him or her. Shelia got a whiff of the sulfur from the hot pool..

Tomorrow we plan on going to The Grand Tetons... Then after that we will stick around Yellowstone until we leave on Monday...

That's about it for now....
