I am pretty sure...life is chugging along

There are days I look up and think...WOW...the year is almost gone.


When I am going through old pics and think..oh I need to make some more of those!


When I remembered that time I ate sweet potatoes for the first time and thought...
I will stick with good ole russet.

What this Arizona Native Learned on her Trip

The Top 21 Things I learned on my Travel to the Midwest



1.I never realized Indiana was actually the Midwest. I always referred to it as back there.

2.When people say fall is in the air, I now know how that feels.

3. In the Midwest a "creek" or "spring" has water in it.

4. Traffic lights are not always hung on big metal poles.

5. Fire hydrants have large poles on top to be found in the snow.

6. Blue Jays are real birds.

7. Neighbors really do sit outside on their porches.

8. I have never seen so many people mowing lawns.

9. The trees are so full of color and life and so soft! Yes I touched!

10. A person can wear a light sweater in September.

11. A rock front yard is out of he question.

12. Neighborhoods exist without fences.

13. If the weather man says 20% chance of rain, its going to rain.

14. It was nice seeing an umbrella used for rain instead of keeping the sun off ya.

15. A traffic jam is not 2 hours sitting in traffic.

16. Correct change at a toll booth is awesome!

17. Rolling hills filled with grass and trees is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

18. The sound of locus, crickets, and frogs still does NOT appeal to me.

19. One story homes are not as popular as two story homes.

20. A barn sale really does take place in someone's barn.

21. Watching and listening to my hubby talk about childhood places he grew up, filled my heart to over flowing!

RV and MH Museum

Elkhart Indiana was on of the most greenest places that we traveled through
on our road trip.

I really wish we could have spent more time there. 


The museum had some very old Rv's, I am talking back from like 1913.
The museum was very nice and laid out well.



Yep there is it made in 1913. The inside was really neat.


Look at these beauties! I will admit I think I would like one of these.
The insides of them were NOT redone, all original and let me tell you
time has been good to these.


This one reminded me of my childhood. My grandpa had a blue truck like this but the camper was a bit different.
We spent many vacations in that camper!


Here is me in a wonderful photo op they had. 
Oh hubby and I enjoyed this place!
If you ever get to Elkhart, Indiana it is a must see!

Potawatomi Zoo

I will have to admit. During our travels I had a bit of a hard time learning new words.
Being in Arizona my whole life,
I am used to certain names and that is how it goes. *sigh*

We went to ummm the zoo listed below.


and yes that is hubby in the monkey cut out. And yes I made him do it LOL.


There were some animals that I have seen before. Isn't that tortoise beautiful!
Wonder how he likes the snow. :)


And there are some I have never seen like this red panda.


This tractor hubby use to play on as a kid when he would come to this zoo.
I think that is pretty neat!


And there is me, I don't care what kind of barn it is, if I see it I gotta have a picture.

I will tell you for this Arizona native the humidity was up on this day and I was noticing it.
Didn't bother hubby at all.
Atleast there was a cool breeze which made it a million times better!

Indiana Dunes

On our adventure one place that I had to see was lake Michigan. 
I figured hey I am traveling 1800+ miles I really want to see
all that I can see.

Luckily, Indiana shares some of the shore line of Lake Michigan.


The only other "beach" that I have been to is the ones in California.
This beach was different for sure.
The waves were much faster, larger.


Unlike California, you can see cities in the distance.
If you look close you can see the Chicago skyline.


There is me and hubby. It was so so windy!


Lots of pretty grass lined the beach shores. 
The sand was also really soft and NO seashells anywhere.

All in all we had a great time there. It s really wonderful to see other places that you have only seen in movies and not you can say yep I have been there!
