2026 travels started a little later than we wanted but we are ready for a great travel year. We stayed at 4 Harvest Hosts on our way to Colorado. The first one was Van Life, near Jackson, MS.  They typcally open their parking lot to RV'ers who are evacuating during hurricane season but allow Harvest Host members to stay as well.  Our second Harvest Host was Twisted Pines Winery & Vineyard in Marshall, TX. We so enjoyed sitting with Tyler,  one of the owners as he told us the history of the land and how the winery came about. It was also interesting to hear about how he wants to expand, a lot of cool ideas that I think will do very well.  Our wine tasting Our parking spot for the night.

In Memory of Casen - 2025

Image
  We arrived in Cape Cod, MA on October 24. We were staying on a Coast Guard Base near Buzzards Bay. We enjoyed a great dinner at an Irish restaurant and made plans to head out to Provincetown the next day. Our 2025 trip was ended with a phone call in the early morning of October 25 when we learned that our grandson was killed in a tragic vehicle accident.  Let's go back a year, we made arrangements with our daughter to let Casen spend a year with us. We left with him in June of 2024. We visited so many places and did so many things. After our summer/early fall travels were over, he spent the winter with us in Fairhope, AL and then we left again in April of 2025 and spent time adventuring the sites in the big five National Parks in Utah.  Enjoy the memories we made with him ... until we meet again! c
