Anticipation!

Summer travel season is almost here and the anticipation is overwhelming in our house! Even Rosie knows something is up as we all troop in and out of the house packing and preping Luigi, our van camper.  

This summer takes us to Michigan and it's famed Upper Peninsula--where we get to be temporary Yoopers, 'ya there eh?' The prospect of beaches, lighthouses, waterfalls, sand dunes, state parks, national seashores, and other new discoveries has us itchy to head west.  And then there's our food and beverage bucket list which includes Dragon's Milk Salted Caramel Stout at New Holland Brewing, Mackinac Island fudge, pasties from Muldoon's in Munising, and absolutely anything and everything made from Traverse City cherries.

After Michigan it's on to Winnebago's Grand National Rally in Forest City, Iowa which is a little like summer camp for adults.  We'll meet up with travelers in 40 other van campers like ours (and 1000s of big rig RVs) where we'll attend seminars, listen to live music, play games, and swap stories from the road.

Tom, Rosie (the packing supervisor) and I are excited to make some new memories on the road and share them with you.

Hope you'll share where you're headed this summer in the comment below.
