Maupin RV trips across the USA!! We purchased the RV
last October 2003 and since then we've been places! Here are our trips
since then.
Disney World 2003: Our first trip. 2-day
driving on weekends and a week of fun in the middle. Brian had a
Direct Marketing conference in Orlando and we did it all together.
The parks were fun for the girls and we learned a lot about the RV.
Denver for Thanksgiving 2003: We took the RV
to Denver to visit the Harris Family (Sarah's sister). A shorter
trip, but still 2-days driving with a stop in the Palo Duro Canyons near
Amarillo. A fun highlight was loading everyone in for a Christmas
light watching party with treats and holiday music.
Dinosaur Valley State Park 2004: Anna loves
Dinosaurs so we took a half-day drive and enjoyed a 3 day weekend trip to
see dinosaur tracks in a riverbed. We also drove through the Fossil
Rim Wildlife Reserve. And we ate at Two Grannies - a must-stop -
several times.
Arkansas State park 2004: A big surprise for
Sarah and the kids! Less than a day's drive away, we had a week long
trip with a twist. I invited Sarah's mom and my parents to meet us
there but it was a secret. We fished, camped, cooked, hiked, swam
and had a really good time.
Sarah's Family Reunion in MN 2004: A two-week
vacation to take our time traveling due north to Sarah's birthplace and to
celebration for Grandma Lois' 90th Birthday! One of our most enjoyed
vacations yet. The town is Balaton, MN, a small community of 700 and
a party of nearly 300 for Lois! We had fun at the lake house, walks
all about town, slept at Lois' birth home (now bed and breakfast),
barbeque at the hog farm, and of course celebrated Lois and her family.
North Carolina Thanksgiving 2004: We're
planning to visit Sarah's mom and Frank at their home in Penrose near
Ashville NC.
