Gale and Judy took us on a month-long RV trip across the southern part of the United States in the summer of 2010. We went from Stanton to Dallas, to San Diego, up to L.A., over to Vegas, on across Southern Utah and Northern Arizona, through Denver and Kansas City, and ended the trip in St. Louis.

This year, the plan is to start in St. Louis, and Kansas City, then go north through Iowa and Minnesota, to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Across the Badlands, through Montana and into Yellowstone National Park. Then back up through Idaho and Washington State to Seattle. Then down the coast of Oregon, through the Redwoods of Northern California, to San Fransisco. Over to Reno and Lake Tahoe, to Salt Lake City, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, across Nebraska, back to Kansas City, and we’ll end the trip once again in St. Louis.

In 2010 we stayed at the Worlds of Fun Amusement Park Campground. We returned two years later to the same conditions: 101 degrees, and sultry hot. Good thing they had a really nice pool.

You can introduce your kids to America, but until they get older, nothing is going to beat a swimming pool!

You can introduce your kids to America, but until they get older, nothing is going to beat a big trampoline at an RV Park.

Natalie and I enjoyed the Bouncing Pillow as much as the kids. The Yogi Bear Park was by-far the best RV park we had ever stayed in.
