The World Famous Volo Museum was something Casen talked about and wanted to visit so we decided we would do it for him and him being with us in spirit. 👼🪽 The Volo Museum founded in 1960 is a world-famous, family-owned attraction featuring classic cars, iconic movie cars which is what Casen loved the most, military history and one-of-a-kind exhibits. The one unique thing is that they also have classic car sales that are all on display. I found a couple I liked, maybe someday. The Terminator Beverly Hillbillies 1921 Oldsmobile "Jalopy".

Berlin, WI - 2026

Our travel plans were very different this year. We made advanced reservations for our travels through Colorado and for our three week stay in Upper Michigan. Our next hard date was our tours scheduled for the White House and the Capitol on the 23rd of October. Because we didn't have all hard date stops we took advantage of the flexibility to stop at some places that were not on our original travel plan. This flexibility also allowed me to visit my dad everyday for 3 weeks. Here are some pictures I took from our site in the City Park on the Fox River. We stay at the city park every time we visit. There is at least one pair of eagles that hang out in the trees along the river. Most of the time they are on the opposite side and I have to really zoom in to see them but this time I was fortunate to catch this majestic bird on the same side as our site. Beautiful sunset

We spent three amazing weeks in Upper Michigan visiting our grandchildren. We saw our  youngest granddaughter Alice when we visited in January and I can't believe how much she has grown.             I really enjoyed watching the older girls practice their gymnastics on the mat and on the bars/beams. Lucy       Maddie      Ellie      I also enjoyed watching the girls perform their dance routines.  Lucy & Maddie group dance Ellie's solo dance The kids had a fun day at the beach and on the playground. Ellie's sleepover consisted of playing several different card games, going for walks with Echo and climbing trees  We had a great time when Maddie had a sleepover. Echo loved that she played ball with him. She loved drawing pictures and being silly with Opa. When Lucy slept over we downloaded an iPad app to help her learn her letters. She was really into the fun games she could play. We also wen...
