Sandie & Jim Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hey Sandie, Sherry and Sharon are here visiting us and asked about you guys. I said I tell you they said "HI". This is the first time for them to see the Great Lakes. From here they are doing a east coast road trip and will be back in AZ by Christmas. Along with seeing the Great Lakes they want to see some truly magnificent fall colors along there route down the east coast. We went into the city yesterday for a visit to the Chicago History Museum and dinner at Pequod's Pizza (for authentic Chicago style pizza). http://www.pequodspizza.com/ Boy was it good! eric Eric - be sure to tell them hi back. Sure hope we can get together with them in AZ this year. We did that fall color trip and it was wonderful. Good to hear from you.

sandsys Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 We did the fall color trip down the east coast a few years ago. Traveled slow enough that we kept time with the colors changing so had peak color for weeks. Loved it!

soos Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Eric, enjoy your time off! We'll be coming thru Novi in Sept for Dr. appts. As soon as we leave there we'll be beelining for Albuquerque, but if we can, we'll try to swing your way on the way thru. Carol, we felt the same way about PEI. We can take it off our "must return to " list. We are enjoying Newfoundland but Nova Scotia is my favorite so far.

Roger & Lynn Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Carol, We are moving today to Camden Hills St Pk after spending six days with SKP Chapter 3. I think that you'll enjoy the Pumpkin Patch. Nice park and some of the hosts are also SKP's. Gotta run...they wrangled me into flippin' pancakes this a.m. before most of them leave today...they should be more careful what they ask for! Welcome back to the good ol' U.S.A.!

ccsimpson Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Well, we are back in Virginia Beach for about a month or more to visit family after spending 2 months to explore Nova Scotia and back. We did the touristy stuff and had a pretty good time but because we have traveled so extensively in the US and seen the best, there is much prettier scenery in the lower 48. So one more adventure marked off our bucket list. Carol Quote The Simpsons Fulltimers from Va.

ccsimpson Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sandie, yes, we still want to head to AZ again. I can't wait! When? It all depends on getting the doctor appointments we need. Hopefully we can leave by no later than the end of October and also beat the hurricane season here. We want to take our time and maybe stop in the Smokey Mtns. So if we do decide to stay in Tucson for the entire time, maybe we can meet half way and do lunch, etc. I would love to drive up for the Arizona Opry and Rodeo again. I will keep you posted as we get closer. If we get bored with Tucson, we will just show up in Mesa again! Hope you and Jim are doing well! Carol Quote The Simpsons Fulltimers from Va.
