- Enjoyed yummy caramel and cinnamon rolls at the Amboy Cottage Cafe in Amboy, MN.
- Celebrated Jean's 50th high school reunion at Loyola with 29 of her classmates. The class has definitely spread out! - Rapid City, SD, Arizona, San Diego, CA, Raleigh (us) and locations all over the state. It was awesome to see everyone.
- Enjoyed a cookout with Jeans nieces and nephew and their families
- Visited with friends from Belle Plaine, Buffalo, and Amboy, MN
- Attended the Good Counsel Craft and Garage Sale with hundreds of like-minded bargain hunters. The talents of the sisters are awesome!
- Were piggies at Jake's Stadium Pizza in Mankato where we wolfed down two HOUSE SPECIALS!
- Loved our time with Jean's sister and the nuns who seem happy to see us when we come (or maybe they are just good actresses????)
On October 17 we left Mankato and started our journey toward North Carolina and home. Our first stop was in Madison, WI where we ended up staying an additional night as the truck died (ended up being a small issue, so we happily spent the afternoon exploring a shopping mall).
Crawfordsville, IN KOA was our next stop - just an overnight. We were thankful we could get in, as it didn't look too promising when we arrived.
Saturday we stopped at the Renfo Valley KOA in Mt. Vernon, KY. They were celebrating Halloween, so we saw a lot of little ones dressed and parading before getting their treats from the willing campers. We were also asked if we would show our trailer to a couple of young women who had been admiring the trailer as we pulled in. They were awed.
On Sunday we arrived in warm, sunny Swannanoa, NC and enjoyed two days there. We visited the Carl Sandburg home in Flat Rock, NC and enjoyed our favorite German restaurant in Black Mountain, NC.
We are currently camped at Fort Mill, SC at the KOA and are enjoying the company of our friends from Raleigh who have moved here.
On Friday, October 26 we will head for Raleigh and a reunion with family and friends. It's been a great trip!
