In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

We went to war and had a potluck and Devyn's 18!

On Palm Sunday several of us drove to Fredericksburg and the National Museum of the Pacific War for a reenactment of a WWII pacific island.  We went 2 years ago and found it very interesting so many of us returned to see the new $8M reenactment center.  As one announcer said........."We did what we did because they did what they did."  When the US flag was raised at the battles end the National Anthem was played and the audience all stood and paid proper respect.  It was a very good reenactment!


Everybody loved this fellow below. I remember him from 2 years ago when he had a cigar butt in his mouth all the time.  He was a retired Marine gunny sergeant and looked, walked and spoke like one!



 



Sunday all the HitchHikers gathered for a potluck in the clubhouse.
 
 
 
Meanwhile back in Michigan Devyn and Dan went on a spring break Caribbean cruise with his mom and aunt.  The BIG news is that Devyn turned 18 yesterday!  The baby (can't call her that anymore) is growing up, out of high school in 5 weeks and off to college in 4 months.
