At the recommendation of Dee in the KOA office, we headed out to take in the local sunflower fields. Though past their prime, the sunflowers were spectacular in their multitudes.

This was a day where we would be able to avoid all highways. No interstates, no toll roads, only US, State, and County routes. We just set Google maps to avoid highways, and voila! There is a routeWeiterlesen
Bonnie BenedictAgree that “the road less traveled” is always the best route. Many hidden gems to be discovered.
Karen AndersonWhat a wonderful approach to traveling and exploring the details of a place!

We went out of our way to visit this park today and I am glad we did. The park is dedicated to the Homestead Act of 1862, signed by Abraham Lincoln. This act gave 160 acres to anyone who could build aWeiterlesen
Bonnie BenedictWhat a great stop with much to offer. I’ve often heard that you’re born into the century or time in which you live. Who knows maybe 100 years from now, folks wonder how we survived using primitive technology like microwaves.
ReisenderOh I would so enjoy visiting that park. Fabulous photo of the field with teeny yellow blooms. Lovely.

We have a fine tradition on our travels, a visit to a local emergency room or urgent care. In this case we decided we would like an opportunity to visit the Family Hospital at Millard. To make theWeiterlesen
ReisenderOh dear! Hope you feel better! We are enjoying the blog, just not this one :( You are in our prayers -IPSC Staff
Bonnie BenedictOh, dear heavens. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with a kidney stone. I have a friend who has given birth to three children and has also had kidney stones. She said without a doubt the kidney stones were worse. Hope it passes quickly so you can get back to enjoying your getaway.

Given events of last night, we decided to take it easier than we’d planned. We skipped the Jocelyn Art Museum with its Impressionist collection, and also gave the Laurentzin Park and conservatory aWeiterlesen

Actually, it was about 4-1/2 hours, but being geezers it took us about 7 due to our geezerly travel style and probably the wind drag from our geezer-sized ears. Gordon wanted the flag photo front andWeiterlesen

Karen AndersonHope things open up for campsites soon. So many people traveling now. Are you able to get in to any of the state or national parks?
ReisenderGlad you found a place to camp. Good thing you have flexibility. Heather, do you remember camping in California with the family?There were a few times we got permission to camp on a pull off on the side of the road because campgrounds were full.
Bonnie BenedictSomething to look forward to. And Laurie when we were given permission to pull off the side of the road, was that the same one where we woke up and in the light of morning could see how close to the edge of a giant cliff we were?

We missed so many gorgeous shots, but here’s a couple.
Oh my goodness. Shades of the Van Gogh interactive exhibit I went to today. However, there were NO smiley face sunflowers at the exhibit. No fresh air either but lovely music and art. Mom was close to my heart. [Laurie Towle]
ReisenderHow wonderful! *sniff*
Bonnie BenedictGorgeous. Reminds me of the sunflower fields inTuscany.
