Our Summer Plans

     This summer we are planning to travel cross country starting in Florida traveling west to New Orleans then down to San Padre Island.  We plan to stay about a week there to do some windsurfing and biking.  We then will make our way northwest toward Las Vagas and up to Washington State to see our grand kids and their mom Lynda, and all the wonderful friends in Wenatchee.  With everyone in tow, we all plan to caravan to Hood River for two weeks of camping, windsurfing, and connecting with our Hood River friends.   From there we head back with the kids to Washington State and head up to British Columbia to explore a bit of Canada.  Then we drive southeast to Yellowstone and across to Chicago.  From there we plan to head to the east coast and back down to Florida.
    In preparation for this trip we will need bike racks, Tully attachments for our windsurfers, a Tully case for equipment, and a false floor for our van.  This will enable us to have storage space for camping equipment and other toys such as golf clubs, tennis rackets etc.  We will also need a GPS system and a good computer so I can blog our trip. This month we are planning things out and next month we will start getting everything ready.  We have the map out and are setting up our initial itinerary, checking campgrounds, hotels, and National Parks.
     We are excited to find new venues to explore and leaving an open ended spirit of adventure ahead.  For those of you interested, you can view this blog as we make our way throughout this great nation discovering new and interesting things around every corner!
