....in 80 days. Years ago, when we talked about retirement, we thought a cross-country, travel trailer trip would be a dream fulfilled and a check off our 'bucket list'. Well, we left West Linn, Oregon, on February 4, and began our cross-country jaunt. Many of our travels have been posted to my blog, but the trip was far more than the photos.
To begin, we wanted to be able to say we had visited all 50 states. We added South and North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC to our list. While we were in the DC area, we jumped on the Harley just so we could visit Delaware. On our journey to Chicago, we drove through West Virginia and FINALLY visited our 50th state....North Dakota as we head for home. We're not too sure why we had this goal, but perhaps it was just a good reason for a long trip.
We have seen some lovely places, spent time with some old and new friends, and just had a great time. We're eager to head home to Oregon just in time for our 41st. wedding anniversary on Monday.
Fortunately we had very few mishaps with our trailer, had relatively good weather along the way, met some great people, ate some fantastic food, have seen some awesome sites and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company. I guess I could/should say it has been the trip of a lifetime.
