Retirement Travels

Our first stop after leaving the Harvest Host location in Illinois was in Albert Lea. We were a little disappointed to find out we didn't have full hook up and I needed to wash our bedding because Echo had thrown up. So, we used the laundry facility and we had clean sheets.  Our next stop was in Sioux Falls, we kept our days short because of Ernie eyes.

I think we need to check this place out in the winter months, I think we would be able to enjoy the outdoors more.  When you are driving in the KOA is the on the right just before you get to the water. Pictures from around the campground. Our site was backed up to Montego Cove. Laguna Madre Beach area. Saturday night they had a singer/guitar player sing under the canopy. The first full day we were there we toured the USS Lexington.  Boys will be boys 🤣🤣 There were quite a few planes on the deck, including the F-14 Tomcat that was flown in the movie Top Gun. Here are some interesting "Did You Know" about the USS Lexington... I was really excited to find things about the ship my uncle served on.
