This looks like an awesome trip Judy! That is a long drive from Florida!

@Scott Schilling: It was an awesome trip, Scott, and since David died last year, the trip will never be the same again.
As for being a long drive, it wasn't half the length of our drive to Alaska and back (18,510 mi. door-to-door) in 1999. :D

And you both look so happy! A wonderful memory.

You two give me hope, you do know that even when you reach that wonderful day, you're still going to have to post your special Sunday photos, because well they give hope ;) x

@Chris: Yes, and because of your comment, I'm changing my post for tomorrow! :D
Barbara from Florida, United States
Happy trails was my first thought and your "happy trip" confirms this was another wonderful journey among many you share with us. I've often thought of a drive west in one of these home on wheels to discover and photograph. Nice photo of you and Mike, he always has a great smile.

@Barbara: Thanks, Barb; this was next to the last trip west to be with our David, so it's a bitter-sweet photo.

@tyan: Tomorrow's shot and text will tell you, yes, this was our 5th-wheel RV, that we stayed in.
We had some wonderful years until the IRS changed our pension status ... not fun! :(

I have really loved this series of pictures of the two of you. You always look so happy and content to be with one another an that is such a blessing in and of itself. Ray was telling our neighbour (it was their eleventh anniversary) that our 48th was coming up and I corrected him and said 47th, but of course he was right, it is our 48th. Indeed, where has the time gone?? I didn't miss the camera around your neck oh great photographer. Do you have another long trip in you?? ;>) Wishful thinking.

@Marion: We truly ARE happy with each other. Life handed us 'lemons' a number of times, but we tried our best to make lemonade! :D
Do we have another long trip in us? In our hearts, yes; in our pocketbooks, ? ? ? ♥
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
Very cool! We just celebrated our 27th anniversary. I am NOT old enough to have been married 27 years. I was 2 years old -- it was arranged. Just so you know. :)

@Bookfool: Okay, so I could be your MOTHER ... tell me about feeling OLD. .......... <Big Grin>
