Dayton, Oregon

-

We stayed with my cousin, Sheri August 15th- 21st. 
We arrived just tow hours after leaving Lincoln City. We parked in the back of her property where we could hook up to her electrical and water. It was a tight squeeze getting in but we got settled and the dogs were free to roam an acre which made them happy. It was nice to sit outside and visit, I painted and we watched the jets from the Hillsboro airshow. I was got eaten alive by huge mosquitos at her house and we went into town to visit Doren and Audra for dinner. We had the best sweet potato fry's at the brewery in Forrest Grove. Back at their house standing in the yard talking is where I was attacked again. The bites I received in both Carlton and Dayton were the worst I'd ever experienced. I was literally scarred. I loved spending time with my cousin but felt pulled in from work. I spent a couple days mostly in the RV. We did go for bike ride where I fell off, lucky I had a helmet, Lol. My pride was more bruised then anything, I was avoiding a car so I veered to the left to far and landed in a ditch -- the car didn't even slow down but my cousin zipped right over to check on me. I really enjoyed our time there with Sheri.

Port Orange, Florida —Ponce Inlet and Daytona International Speedway

We arrived in Port Orange, Florida Thursday February 23rd. I immediately didn’t like the RV park, and I still don’t. It’s old and run down with a train track that runs right behind the park, trains run all hours… they’re insanely loud! On a good note, I found a place to get a massage and decided to try a hymilan salt stone massage. It was wonderful, so relaxing!!! I highly recommend trying one. Once I was finished, Shane and I got lunch from Panera, yum! And then we found a great dog park for the dogs to play-in, and socialize. Afterwards, we decided to explore the beach front areas close to Port Orange, where we’re staying.  We stumbled upon Ponce Inlet while looking for a dog friendly beach.We thought we’d get to drive onto the beach in Daytona. Since we weren’t seeing anything, we headed for a lighthouse that was supposed to be close by. That’s when we discovered a park with a river area for dogs. FYY, There are no beach’s that allow dogs in Daytona. The pet friendly Inlet was r...

Galveston, Texas

We loved this little island. It’s on the Gulf Coast and has so much character and charm. The history has been enlightening, and unfortunately, so much of it tragic. It’s definitely been an experience.  This is were Juneteenth originated. It was here on June 19th 1865  that the Union Army, General Gordon Granger and 2,000 federal troops arrived to formally inform the enslaved  Black and African American people (about a quarter million) that the Emancipation Proclamation has freed them.  January 1, 1863 was the day Lincoln proclaimed the end of slavery. It took over 2 years to get that information to Texas and finally to Galveston, Texas. This was primarily due to travel time since Texas was so big. Mail and verbal communication during the time period had to be delivered by horseback, wagon or on foot.  The island of Galveston Texas belonged to Mexico, then Spain, then Mexico after they defeated Spain. Now it’s part of the United States. Many slaves were brought h...

We both enjoyed exploring the Houston Space Center, also known as NASA. We got to view the area where they prepare for space flight. We were able to go inside the space shuttle, Endeavor. Got to view the Atlas Rocket up close and so much more. We spent hours here. Highly recommend visiting, if in the area.  Guided Tour of the Training Facilities                   Rocket Warehouse, over 300 feet long.                             Showering in Space!
