A journal written about life, retirement and our journey throughout the United States in a 5th wheel, along with our two Shih Tzus, Tanner and Syndey. Written not for notoriety but for our sons, family and friends, so they know where we are at any given time. And particularly for ourselves. Finally, we get to slow down and smell the roses and we don't want to forget any of it. You are welcome to join us as we go 'Down the Road a Piece'.

We are getting ready to retire. January 1, 2011 Jack will no longer be employed. Our plans are to travel per our Mobile Suite across these great United States. Through the years we've visited all but 4 or 5 states. When the boys were young we tried to take vacations with the boys in mind. And try to do it cheaply. We didn't have a lot of money when the boys were growing up so we tried to do inexpensive vacations but fun vacations for the boys. They were our first priority. Them and making memories for them with us. I think we did okay as they still talk about some of things we did when they were young. In fact, our oldest once said to me, "I didn't know we were poor." We weren't poor but we lived paycheck to paycheck. There was little left over for week long trips to Disney World or other really expensive places. We have camped since we were first married and camped with the boys many years. They loved it. Camping was our vacations for the most part. We did travel once in awhile and stayed in hotels, which for all of us back then, was a real treat. Janet
