Since Sal has somewhat "retired" from blogging, I guess that I'll try to take up the slack! She's a tough act to follow--does such a great job, that I feel like a beginner compared to her blogging skills. We are now officially headed off on our trip to Alaska. We had a great time in Pine, Arizona at the 2nd Annual "McPine" campout this past weekend,
hosted by Betsy & Carl Porter. Eight rigs attended and we all had a wonderful time. Sally and I will be in San Francisco tomorrow for at least five nights visiting family and friends, then, "off to Alaska".

Dear Readers of our Blog,
I guess I have more or less retired from blogging. Thought I should let you know and thank you for visiting this from time to time. Blogging has become more work than fun for me so retiring, well semi-retiring, seems like a good idea. Call me anytime at 602-565-5860 if you would like to know where we are. Or look for us on Facebook - we've both been pretty good at posting occasional pictures of our travels there.
I'll still post here on occasion.
Here's a little recap of where we've been the past few months:

Newport, Rhode Island
One of the tunnels along the Cliff Walk |
Vanderbilt's cottage - The Breakers |
Newport, RI was a surprisingly nice stop. RV park was in the next town over and within walking distance of downtown Newport. Lots of opportunity for beautiful walks along the shore and harbor. The Cliff Walk along the backyards of some of Newport's famous "cottages" of the likes of the Vanderbilts was a treat. Gregg does NOT like house tours but Sally spent a day and a half on long tours of 5 of the monstrosities - fascinating!
Mystic, Connecticut
We definitely love seeing the contrasts between the places we visit while we are on the road. And talk about contrast, from New York City to Mystic, CT within a day! Mystic is a sleepy little place with waterfront views that are like those you see in travel brochures. We took a schooner cruise and then ate seafood at a funky place called Abbott's Lobster-in-the-raw. No liquor sold there but you are welcome to bring your own!

New York City - Manhattan
We LOVED our RV visit to New York City! Sally was able to score reservations for two nights at the Liberty Harbor RV park in Jersey City, NJ. What it lacked in ambiance was more than offset by location. We were parked on a marina a stone’s throw from the NYC Ferry terminal where we docked at the foot of Wall Street in the heart of the financial district in minutes and we could see the Statue of Liberty. We had a fabulous tour of NYC on a double-decker bus where we saw everything from Times Square to Central Park. New York City is unique in that the buildings and architecture provide visual “slices of time” which our tour guide did an outstanding job of explaining. When we left, we both were a little sad and wished that we had been able to stay longer—maybe another time!

Moving on...
We've moved on from a wonderful week in DC and a stop in Annapolis, MD, across Delaware into New Jersey. We'll spend a few days here, then a couple of days in NYC before heading into New England.

Washington, DC
Enjoying Washington DC despite record setting heat and humidity. We do what Arizonans do - find things to do inside when it's unbearable outside. Museums galore here! and most are FREE - right up our alley.
Outdoor stuff - get out at daybreak and back inside by 9am.
Beautiful 9 mile bike ride all around the National Mall.
