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.

White Castle

What started as a foggy morning turned into another beautiful day.  There is a big unusual looking white house high upon a hill overlooking the town and the lake.  We were curious about it so we drove up narrow windy Sunnyslope Avenue to have a look.  It was hard to get a good pic of it without a helicopter!

We found out that it is one of the region's most famous and mysterious homes.  The Arabian-style house was built in 1929 by Aimee Semple McPherson, a celebrity Pentecostal evangelist, as a retreat.  It does resemble a mosque, but it's not one.  There has been a lot of mystery and intrigue surrounding the home since it was built, and urban legends have been told for years.  It was finally opened up for a tour one day in 2007, but not now.

Aimee's Castle
That was the highlight of the day for us, so it was back to the RV to chill out and watch The Doctors and Dr. Oz on TV.
