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.

Hannibal, Missouri


Tom Sawyer's House and the Whitewashed Fence

We went about 30 miles north this morning, to the historic town of Hannibal, Missouri, home of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twin) and Tom Sawyer.  We have been here before, but it was nice to see it again.  The city has done some upgrades since we were here last. 
Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn


We walked around town for most of the day.  We saw Tom Sawyer's house, Huck Fin's House, Becky Thatcher's House, and much much more.


Mississippi River

After that we drove to a park near by and sat at the overlook for a long time and soaked up the sunshine.  The high today was 82 degrees!!!  nice.  People are so friendly; we visited with other people there including one lady from Waconia, Minnesota! 

Watching a Barge Being Filled



There was a great view of the Mississippi River.  We watched while the grain elevator across the river was filling barges.
