Day 14 ~ Friday, July 1st, 2011

The guys hand us the Route 66 book. They say "look and see, tell us where you want to go, what you want to see and where you want to sleep and we will take you there"

Well, the girls had a thought. We are sure the guys had the same thought! We were on the road by 11:43 am. We fly through...
See.... we could barely "catch" the sign!

We were thrilled to see this sign...
The girls settle in for a movie on the mac while the guys "take us where we want to go"!

We pull into the Lesjaks residence at 9:28 pm. Just look at their faces... PRICELESS!

We step right out of the rv.... lock the door. We head into the house. The pizza we ordered while on the road arrives within the hour. Shots are poured. Toasts are made We plan on having a great evening together before waking in the morning to unload the rv together!

We met on a fall day in October. We both had little girls the same age. Our families grew. We were neighbors who did everything together. The guys would come home from work, see each other mowing their yards and the next thing you knew, we were having a cook out together. Drive in movies in the back yards. Cocktail parties and Birthday parties. Some people just come into your lives and STAY!

That's the way it is with us.

To the trip of a lifetime... Thanks for the memories!

How about those bikes?!

Hickory Shores in Clinton County, Ill.

Well... we made it to the Hickory Shores Resort at 6:20 Thursday, June 30th. The people in charge had NO IDEA we were coming and scrambled to find a place for us for the night after we told them SOMEONE at the resort told us we didn't need a reservation!

We drove some miles out of our way for this?

Ok... not so bad. We can even have a campfire~ no fire band here at the Shores!

We settle in and unload our bikes to head to the pool! Those bikes, what did you say about those bikes Jim?

Jim and Dave- flexing for us girls!

There were a few water races... won't say who won, but it was very entertaining for all at the pool!

Dinner at camp!
Cooked by flashlight~ It was wonderful! There is nothing like bringing a personal chef on vacation with you! Jim was the grill master the whole trip!

Morning...
Day 14~ Decision time! What to do?
