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.

Fountain Hills

Today we went to Fountain Hills, north of Mesa, to get a look at this big fountain we heard about.  It spews forth once an hour reaching a height of 330 feet.  On special occasions, the fountain can attain 560 feet.  Even though I was there today apparently they did not feel it was a special enough occasion as it did not appear to be 560 feet to me.

 After watching the fountain do it's thing we drove around the town to explore a bit and found this junk horse statue in a shopping center parking lot.  It was rather interesting and filled with junk, from a washing machine to a car bumper and kitchen appliances.

 Also, in the parking lot of a nearby restaurant we saw the beginnings of a car show.   It wasn't to officially begin for an hour yet, and we didn't feel like sitting around and waiting for it, so we left.
