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.

New Haven, CT

It's been a busy few days and I haven't had any time to blog.  We tried to get in to Hammonasset State Park but they didn't have any spots left that included electricity.  Our generator isn't working correctly, and it's been so hot, we really wanted the power for the air conditioners.  They referred us to Riverdale Farm Campsites on the other side of the freeway and we have a good spot there for the next several days with all the hookups we want.

Home Sweet Home
Teresa joined us for a while and then we went out to dinner at a U.S.S. Chowderpot, voted the best seafood restaurant in the state.  It was very good.

Then she took us to her place and showed us where she lives, close to campus.
One of Two Ice Cream Trucks

We went to the top of Black Rock Cliff to overlook the city.  The first thing we saw there were two ice cream trucks.  Then we saw the monument to Soldiers and Sailors before overlooking the cliff to the spectacular view below.  I can imagine how beautiful it will be in the fall when the trees change colors. 

Monument to Soldiers and Sailors


From the top of the cliff we could look across Long Island Sound and see Long Island in the horizon.
