Having fun with Harry Potter, family and friends makes lasting memories!


Everyone gets a robe, wand, and sorted into their Hogwarts House.  Will it be Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin?

From the Niagara of the South to the Smokey Mountains....

Image
On our way back from Wisconsin, we stopped to see family in Illinois (Hey, Pam and Wanda) and Kentucky (Hey Deb) before heading to Tennessee.  We did make a stop at the Niagara of the South - also known as Cumberland Falls in southern Kentucky. Stayed in Knoxville, TN for a couple of days.  Did you know that the 1982 World's Fair was held there?  Here are photos of the Sunsphere and the largest Rubik's cube in the world - at least until 1982! We stayed in a cabin outside Pigeon Forge, TN for a week.  Don had fun shooting pool when we were not out sightseeing. We went to Dollywood two days in a row.  The nice thing about being a senior is they offered a good discount for a two day pass.  :-)  We could only handle a couple of roller coasters (well, Donna could only do one) but the entertainment and decorations were good. Moved down the road a whoppin' seven miles and stayed in Gatlinburg for a week.  The downtown Gatlinburg area on the weekend was a...

And our summer retreat was........

Ding, ding, ding......for the third time ------Wausau, WI!!!  We love it there with all of the summer activities.  We've done some of the same things as in previous years and actually found new things to do. Whitewater Park - freestyle kayaking and canoeing.  This year the Midwest and National Championships were held here. The Ironbull Solstice race up Rib Mountain - we entered the non-competitive division - (thank goodness)!  The trail is billed as the steepest mile in the Midwest (for what that's worth) - 700 feet elevation gain in a mile with inclines at times of over 20%.  The kicker for Donna (with a fear of heights) was having to climb the observation tower at the top in order to collect our medal.  Donna has since climbed the tower four more times! Hiked up the mountain's regular trails at least three or four times per week.  Enjoyed the views and the mushroom sightings.  Don likes to throw rocks in the little pond at the quarry. The July 4...

Want to know where we've been?

It's been a while since we posted.  We got lazy.  We use this blog to update our family and friends and to document where we've been for ourselves.  When we're old and gray....oops we're already there.  Better said, when we are sitting in our rockers at the old folks home, we can look back at where we traveled.  That is.... if we remember how to get to our blog! We'll be brief....we visited some of the same places.... but we experienced some new stuff. After we left DC in the spring, we picked up Kalen and his family and drove to western Kentucky for the total eclipse.  Wow, how exciting...so exciting that our 2 year old grandson fell asleep!  We did encourage him to wake up for the experience which he semi-did.  Lol! Next, we went to Dallas for our semi-annual doctor and dentist appointments, to see friends, and to eat at our favorite restaurants - Fernando's Mexican, Handel's Ice Cream, multiple barbecue places and donuts.  Note:  Donn...
