 WANDERING WITH THE WRIGHTS

May 28, 2024

6 Years of Planning and 5 Years of Life Stopping us  

BUT Saturday that is all going to change!


Before explaining the above let me catch you up on our life since March

Anna, our beautiful goddaughter got engaged!  
Josh is a wonderful man and we are so happy for them!


After a very mild winter we got some snow on March 22nd 


Celebrated our daughter-in-law, Amy's, birthday with a great dinner

Had a good chuckle watching Vincent trying to get the lid off of a child-proof bottle of vitamins


Lots of Saturday morning soccer games


Had lunch with our oldest grandson, Calvin - just completed his 2nd year of college at Northern IL 

As you can see the weather has warmed - Vincent playing in the pool with his friend T.J.

Vincent and two of his good buddies from school being goofy - which 7 year olds are really good at!

A little over 6 years ago Jerry and I started talking about and planning a trip to Alaska in the motorhome.  As often does life got in the way and for a variety of reasons we were never able to go.  That all changes this Saturday, June 1st, as we head out on our dream trip.  It has been a year since we stopped being full-time rvers so there has been lots of sorting and packing and moving things back into the motorhome but its all coming together.  We plan to be gone for 3 months returning September 1st.

So there will be a lot more blogs and we will once again have things to share and hopefully lots of pictures of wildlife, glaciers, mountains, lakes and whatever else we find.

We have decided to make minimal reservations and to just pretty much "wing it".  We do have reservations at Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada but that's it.  That way we can stay if we like the area and head out when we are ready.

Vincent will be with his mom in Texas for two of those months and the rest of the time Stephen's work is graciously allowing him to work from home so that we have more time on this trip.

So that's it for now.  Lots more to come - We are really - really - really getting excited!!
