About Us

Follow along with us on our travels with our motor home. Minnesota is our home, but we go south for the winter. Yes, we are Snowbirds. We love traveling and want to share our experiences with you. This will be our third time traveling south to avoid the cold Minnesota winters. Our travels began in late October with the first destination of Concord, New Hampshire, and New Haven, Connecticut, to visit family before heading south and will eventually get to Arizona before returning to Minnesota in April.

Burlington, Iowa


Snake Alley view from top

Still slowly creeping north.  In Burlington, Iowa, today.  We went to explore the city.  We couldn't find much in the way of interesting history, but we did find Burlington's most famous landmark named the "Crookedest Street in the World" by Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Snake Alley view from below
Snake Alley originally provided a short cut from Heritage Hill to the business district.  The bricks were laid at an angle to allow horses better footing as they descended.

We are keeping an eye on the weather at home as well as the flood conditions.  We know there are several roads closed already because of the flooding, but hopefully ALL roads home won't be blocked.
