We had a really nice day today visiting San Diego, CA. We started with a two hour drive from El Centro through some interesting terrain on Interstate 8. As many times as Chuck and I (before we met, and then together) drove back and forth between our home base in California and my family in […]

NAF El Centro
December 17th, 2009 
Cheryl We are currently staying at the Desert Oasis RV Park at NAF El Centro (the Navy’s Blue Angels winter training grounds) in El Centro, CA. So far everyone is super friendly and it is a nice change from Las Vegas – in that the temperatures are in the warm 70s during the day and relatively warm […]
Mystère Cirque du Soleil
December 9th, 2009 Cheryl We just came back from seeing Mystère at Treasure Island, courtesy of Shadow winning Best Dressed Pet at The Great Santa Run last Saturday. THANK YOU, Shadow! What a great kid we have to give us such a great Christmas present. We felt so bad having to leave her alone at home to enjoy it. […]
Black Friday – the Christmas consumerism addiction
November 27th, 2009 Cheryl Chuck and I have long been of the opinion that the Christmas holidays have gone from being about celebrating the birth of Jesus to being mainly about keeping the U.S. economy in the black – promoted solely for the purpose of encouraging Christmas consumerism. As such, we decided to not exchange Christmas presents, nor buy […]
Thank you, Veterans
November 11th, 2009 Cheryl We celebrated Veteran’s Day this year here in Las Vegas with a very ‘Las Vegas’ thing to do – we went to a Casino! We’re not really into gambling (especially playing the slot machines which seems quite mindless and a waste of time to us) but we had to go to Silverton Casino today as […]
Outrunning the weather
October 27th, 2009 Cheryl We are currently staying at the Desert Eagle Fam-Camp at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV. So far the weather is great! It’s nice to have temps in the 70s and 80s again. We just missed the snow in Salt Lake City, Utah by a couple of days. Boy, we were cutting it close! Thunderbirds […]
Sight-seeing With Dogs
September 26th, 2009 Cheryl We went to Seattle’s Museum of Science Fiction and also the Museum of Flight during ‘free museum day’ today. We took Shadow along in her enclosed dog stroller. We did not advertise the fact that the stroller held a dog (it’s not obvious unless you’re really looking, or child height – they always seem to […]
Where in the world is McChord AFB?
September 6th, 2009 Cheryl We’re currently staying at McChord AFB’s Holiday Fam-Camp, located in the Tacoma-Seattle area of Washington State. Thought you might enjoy a couple of “Then and Now” pictures of the base:
Klamath, California
August 14th, 2009 Cheryl We’re doing a little back-tracking and have returned to California for a little while. Chuck decided he really wanted to visit the Redwoods again (we were last there on our honeymoon waaaay back in 1985) plus he read an article where a group of cyclists rode their bikes through a Redwood tree in Klamath, CA […]
Our next tow vehicle?
We came across this picture online and just had to share. A little out of our price range, we’re sure, but it is a neat idea. Chuck says he’s saving his pennies…
