I'll use this to notify you as I get various entries caught up - maybe later even some video's uploaded?

What's left? Not much, so if you're tired of reading this, I certainly can understand. Maybe for my own sake if no one elses, I do have some days way back in Michigan that still need photo's added (they've been uploaded, just never inserted them in the blog). I also haven't uploaded hardly any video's for the second half of the trip (since St. Petersburg, FL). Maybe it's late, but I'd still like to get that done. So will keep using this status entry to let you know if anything else changes.
...BTW - Working on something for a Family Reunion in August 2009 - more in the new blog below...
New Blog!
Drque suggested that since we had so much fun staying in touch while we were on the RV trip, we should get together and do some sort of family network site so we can continue to stay in touch going forward. There are probably better web sites for this and we're looking at a few, but in the meantime I thought it might be fun to go ahead and setup a new blog in Travellerspoint for those who are already used to using this one.
If you're family and have a Travellerspoint user id, I've set you up as an author already for this new blog. You can go ahead and try posting news or info about a trip you've taken or whatever. I posted a couple of (hastily written) instructions in it to help us get started.
I'm not sure whether other friends want to post to this also or not, if so let me know (by posting a comment of course!) I can add you. This is an experiment, but I figured it wouldn't take long to set up and we could give it a try.
Here's the link:

ps - I certainly don't plan to post daily entries on the new one myself as I did for this blog, but will try to weekly or so...
pps - if you have a preference for a social networking site you'd prefer we use, we should start a discussion for that! OK - I'll add one more entry to the new blog for this purpose and give us some ideas to start with...

Welcome home ( and to the rv park you're hiding in to get things done...) Hope the April weather finds you happier than our late March snow. I don't remember a snow that late in the season at sea level in the almost 27 years I've lived in this area. Certainly not that much snow so late! Monday, the last day in March, the clouds parted just enough for a glimpse of the cascades. They were just covered in snow, almost more than they had been in winter, down to the lower elevations, too. A beautiful, chilling sight.
Maybe you should put the blog entries in book form and call it "Travels with Mom" or something...
