10.09.13 The Chauvin’s visit Chicago!

Roy still can’t stop talking about how great the Field of Dreams was.  It was every bit as perfect as I hope the pictures showed.  I’d give Tuesday morning’s adventure an A+++++.  Tuesday afternoon’s drive to Chicago got a much lower rating!  The traffic was horrible and hasn’t improved in our travels today(Wednesday).  The streets… Continue reading 10.09.13 The Chauvin’s visit Chicago!

10.08.13 Field of Dreams, Dyersville, Iowa

We made it to Lake Shore Resort in Oelwein, Iowa after feeling like we were going around in circles because of all the detours we had to take.  Our GPS didn't know about the detours so I had to get out twice and flag down a truck to get directions.  Sure glad that Iowans are nice folks. … Continue reading 10.08.13 Field of Dreams, Dyersville, Iowa

10.07.13 Winnebago Factory Tour – Forest City, Iowa

On Sunday we attended Worship Services at First Baptist Church in Forest City, Iowa.  Very friendly people  and what a blessing to be back in a Baptist church. Their Senior Pastor Eric Weaver preached a phenomenal sermon from Malachi.  He taught while he preached and it made everything much easer to understand.  I don't know how… Continue reading 10.07.13 Winnebago Factory Tour – Forest City, Iowa

10.04.13 Bye, bye Minnesota – Iowa here we come!

Today we said goodbye to Minnesota.  Since we’ve spent so much time there this summer we probably won’t return anytime soon.  It is such a beautiful state and we are very thankful to have been able to spend time there.  Here’s pictures of our comfy little home spot in the Camping World’s parking lot.  It’s… Continue reading 10.04.13 Bye, bye Minnesota – Iowa here we come!

10.03.13 On the road again and not really going anywhere!

Since I wrote my last blog I’ve received emails and private facebook messages from people who workamped and had horrible experiences that they left and went to really good experiences.  Seems that the bad experiences are not nearly as prevalent as the good ones and that encourages us for the future.   I wrote about Russ and Annie leaving… Continue reading 10.03.13 On the road again and not really going anywhere!
