Talladega, AL
We took a spin around the track at Talladega! Well, it was in a tour bus and we were the only tourists. Still it is amazing to see the full mile of grandstands and how banked the curves really are. You can ride with a race driver during the season.

Branson, MO
What a fun town to visit. We arrived on a Saturday. Our campground had a haunted house that included real people to scare you. I was plenty scared! They also had a zombie garden, a potluck dinner and kids trick or treating among the campers. So fun to be able to celebrate Halloween! Larry and Pam arrived later that evening. We went to Silver Dollar City early the next day. This was the last day of the fall festival. Pumpkins littered the grounds! Some of the pumpki

Fall Meanderings
On the road . . . While we have been camped in Owatonna we have visited with friends and family and traveled a few byways. Kevin and I went to Valleyfair and enjoyed a few rides. Kev went with Michelle (Chelley) to Valley SCARE and had a fun time together even if it wasn't in the haunted houses! Birthday Surprise for Pam!! How special was that! Lauren, Paul and Larry pulled off quite the feat! Village of Yesteryear in Owatonna, at the fairgrounds. We had a 4 hour tour of

Dubai UAE
What a city of contrasts! Tall modern skyscrapers, flat sand desert; wealth dripping from the shops, workers sharing housing 5 or 6 in a two bdrm; pix of blue skies, haze obscured views. We went up the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. We went to floor 148 with an outdoor observation deck. We also went to the old town that is being renovated and keeping the old culture alive. The rough wall was from when groups were fighting over water. The tall arched boxes we

Paris
We headed back to A’dam through Paris and had a couple hours to explore. We arrived at Gare du Nord train station and ate lunch across the street. Kaya and Eliot got to have fresh crepes. Delicious! We then walked to Sacré-Cœur. The steps took quite a while. Eliot wanted to see the artists I said were behind Sacré-Cœur. When we walked behind and the street was full of tourist shops Eliot thought I had hoodwinked him. As we got to the corner we did find artists drawing charcoa

Disney Paris Day 2
Drawing lessons at Disney!! We entered World of Disney at 8:30 to take advantage of our early entrance. We had croissants on our way in. First stop, Crushes Coaster, the line gets long quickly, so glad we got there early! Fun coaster, but too long a line to go twice. Hollywood Tower of Terror was quite a hit! Revisited many times. Avengers coaster whirled through the dark and even went upside down. Once was enough for Mk, the others rode multiple times. We ate lunch at Hollyw
