Heading West, slowly

Friday we left my brothers house in South Bend, IN. and moved about 100 miles west to Hollywood casino in Joliet, IL. where we met up with old friends Leroy and Rose. Our son and his family met us there later in the evening and also spent the weekend in their brand new Cedar Creek 41 foot bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer.
They bought a new one as the boys are getting bigger and would like to invite friends to stay with them when they go camping for a weekend. The boys room has two slideouts and 4 bunks, along with 2 extra mattresses that can go on the floor. With the slides out, they have an area 8 ft x 6 ft to play in! The trailer also has the new 6 point automatic leveling system on it....this is a great new feature that we would love to have on our trailer, but at $5000 plus we will have to live without it.
We are now at the kids house in the driveway for the week, and this Friday will be heading north to Old World Wisconsin for the weekend. (oldworldwisconsin.wisconsinhistory.org) Sorry blogger would not let me put in link.
The 29th of this month we will head further west as we go to the Branson Missouri area to a resort on Table Rock Lake for a week long family vacation. From there we have two weeks to get to Colorado to stay with dear friends Jim and Bobbie and where Jim will take Linda and I on a off road tour of the mountains for three days along with Jim's two brothers. Looking forward to that trip, altho Jim says I will get butt pucker in some spots.
Have a great week
Love to all of you
Jim and Linda
