Our New House

It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.

Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…

We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.

I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.

So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.

Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.

I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

Niagara Falls, Unbelievable!


Click on photo to enlarge

I have been told that Niagara Falls is a place that we had to see. I thought to myself, "OK, so there is a lot of places I need to see." Well, after seeing it for my self, I see what everyone was talking about. This is just one of those things that can NOT be described.

We started our tour of the falls by visiting all the view points around the falls. I was totally awed at the power and amount of water that goes over the falls. The absolute must do while at Niagara is the Maid of the Mist boat ride. This is a 30 minute boat ride that takes you right into the Horseshoe falls. They nudge in as close as they safely can and hold the boat there for about 15 minutes. Needless to say, you get totally soaked from the mist off the falls. The view of the water coming over Horseshoe falls is incredible! It has to be the closes thing to what Moses saw during the parting of the seas. Now, I know I have been lacking at updating the photo page, but the photos of the falls, especially from the Maid of the Mist, are a must see. So you must go to our photo page and see the photos of Niagara Falls.
