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.

Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History

Peabody Museum of Natural History
Our first stop today was at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History.  We arrived too early and sat on the retaining wall outside for a while and watched the traffic. 

The museum was having a special exhibit at this time:  Invasion of the Blood Suckers.


Human Bedbug
 We saw everything we didn't want to know about bedbugs and ticks and mosquitoes and lice and fleas.  They even had live colonys on display... eew.


Human Pubic Louse

The rest of the museum was the standard dinosaurs and human evolution and birds and animals and very well done.

After that we went to a little restaurant downtown called Clark's Dairy.  It had ice cream, but was also a Greek and Italian restaurant.


Marble
Then back to the RV to chill for the rest of the afternoon.  Marble decided to make a rare living room appearance and hung out with us for a while.

Later, we met up with Teresa and went out for Pizza to New Haven's famous Modern Pizza.  This was a very busy place.  It was featured on the Travel Channel.  Here's a link if you wanna see a video of it:  http://www.travelchannel.com/Video/new-havens-pizza-paradise-15189
