The Last Leg of our Trip

Jul 16 Mon … This morning we moved to a site where we could receive the satellite feed and was much more level. And after “sleeping in” we drove into Freemont (home of the Gerber Baby Food Plant) where we visited the rv’ers supply store, aka Walmart.
Jul 15 Sun … We arrived in CLE at 6am and waited in the Presidents Club until our 1220p flight to Grand Rapids, MI. It was a short night and a long day. We drove back to the motorhome & got it out of storage, then drove the 100 miles to the Woodlands on the Lake RV resort near White Cloud, MI. We arrived there at 530p. The site we chose was not level and very wooded.
Jul 14 Sat … Went to the local swimming pool and watched the kids swim. We checked flights back to Michigan and decided we needed to leave this evening instead of tomorrow. As usual, the flights are all full. We left the house about 6p to drive to the Tacoma Dome to see the “Walking with the Dinosaurs” show. This was the first city it has been in on it’s 2 year tour of North America. It was a great show with life size dinosaurs, a pretty amazing site! After the show Micheala and the kids dropped us off at the airport just in time to catch our 11pm flight to Cleveland. Once in Cleveland, we had a 6 hour layover but we had the Presidents club facility to make it better. We boarded the flight to Grand Rapids as scheduled at 12:20p.m.
Jul 13 Fri … We drove to Seattle and went to the Zoo. Tim stayed home since he has a cast on his broken foot. Had a great time at the Zoo.
Jul 12 Thu … Got on the 7am flight from Great Falls to Seattle. Micheala, Adriana, and Dillon picked us up at the airport about 1045a. We dropped Micheala off at Costco to work her shift and we took the kids home. Later in the afternoon we took the kids on a hike in the Twin Falls state park near their home in North Bend. Had a great time hiking and playing in the river. We picked up Micheala from work and we all had dinner at Chilis.
Jul 11 Wed …Dixie’s Aunt Eleanor visited in the afternoon. Danny & Lexi flew back to California – after we took them to the airport we went to out to dinner with Mom, Dad and Fran.
