Our Trip Begins !!

Is it crazy to head out in our RV with two of our grandkids, Jack & Logan?  We didn't think so, and now we know we made a great decision.  We've been on the road for three days, and what a grand adventure.

Our first day was an afternoon stop at Fort Frederick in Maryland.  This French & Indian War era fort has been restored to its original condition.  We arrived with soldiers from this war, our Revolutionary War, and even the Civil War all represented.  The fort was in use for all of these conflicts.  Demonstrations included musket firings, cooking in the time period, and we even stopped at the Nature Center to learn about todays critters living in the surrounding woods.

Our second day was mostly a driving day, culminating in a rather rundown private RV park.  But there was a nice pool and a 70s era miniature golf.

And this day began at the Indianapolis Speedway.  Once we figured out how to get to the museum (under the actual race car track....Would our RV fit?), we parked and headed for sports car history.  Almost all of the Indy 500 race car winners are on display.  Really cool!  Then we took the tour around the 2.5 mile track including checking out the checkered flag at the finish line.

"Camped" tonight on the Mississippi River, looking across at the state of Iowa, that we be in tomorrow.  Wow, 8 states and over 1,000 miles!
