Even though last weekend was pretty eventful, Robert and I seemed to get stir crazy. Maybe it’s because we felt our trip to TN was too short. Maybe we wanted to procrastinate on doing something. I don’t know, but the feeling of getting out and away from the RV overtook us the entire weekend. Antenna …
A little off the beaten path, just south of Independence, Kansas is a roadside attraction that’s worth the stop. Little House on the Prairie Museum sits on privately owned land and is one of the many childhood home sites of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Robert and I happened to be in southeastern Kansas and saw the …
Not a well-known park, Prairie State Park has nearly 4,000 acres that preserves Missouri’s largest remaining tallgrass prairie. Did you know that tallgrass prairie used to be more than one fourth of Missouri’s landscape? Now, only one percent remains. Since it’s not too far from where we live, Robert and I decided to take the …
At the beginning of the month, Robert and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. We commonly don’t make a big deal out of our anniversary and usually remember it a day or so after it had passed. Not this year! Even though our day was right smack in the middle of the work week, I thought …
We had driven through Mammoth Springs, AR many times. It has always either been too late at night or too early in the morning for anything to be open. A few years ago, we stopped just before dawn and Robert took a few long exposure shots. The morning fog and the dim lighting was pretty creepy yet peaceful at the …
Who knew there was a festival celebrating banana pudding? We certainly didn’t, until we stopped at the Tennessee welcome center and saw a poster advertising the 6th Annual National Banana Pudding Festival. It just so happened that the festival was in Centerville, TN the very weekend we were to be in the area. Of course …
Robert and I were itching for a little road trip, so one day, we buzzed over to Ft. Scott, KS. Growing up in El Dorado Springs, MO, I took for granted all the wonderful little attractions that were just a hop, skip and jump away. I guess we do that when we’re young. Now that …
The older we get, the more Robert and I realize just how small this world actually is. A couple of weeks ago, Robert and I spent the weekend in Warrensburg, MO. The reason for the trip was a gig Robert was playing and since it was a Friday and Saturday night show, we had time …
It’s funny how you can pass by something hundreds of times and not know what you are really missing. Our friend, Debbie Burns, asked us to take some photos of the birds of prey she helps handle at a local nature park. She explained how close to Indian Rocks Beach the park was, but we …
This week, Gayla and I had a longer trip to St. Louis than we anticipated. I work with The Band Special 20 from time to time and they were appearing on Fox 2 News on Wednesday morning. Gayla and I decided to head up from Springfield to St. Louis on Tuesday afternoon so we could …
