We’ve been to Tacoma before, but have never gone to the LeMay America’s Car Museum right off I-5 by the Tacoma Dome. We decided our visit this time would be the perfect time to fit it in. $20 for seniors (and free parking). This is quite an amazing collection of cars. I’m not really into… Continue reading The LeMay America’s Car Museum

CVR’s CAN-AM Pickleball Games 2023
Today, Sunday March 5, we participated in CVR’s (Carefree Village Resort) CanAm Games for pickleball. To be as fair as possible, Brenda L. and Bob M. grouped everyone into one of three levels for paired playing between USA teams and Canadian teams. Barry and I both played in the advance player group – although neither… Continue reading CVR’s CAN-AM Pickleball Games 2023
Yuma ARTrails 2023- Tour Highlights
This weekend was the 17th annual ARTrails (Art Trails) Studio Tour in the Yuma Foothills. I had no idea that my pickleball friend, Cindy, was a talented painter. After seeing some of her paintings at her home, I asked if she knew about the ARTrails weekend. She did not, so I invited her to ride… Continue reading Yuma ARTrails 2023- Tour Highlights

Yuma Parks and Recreation puts on the Yuma Senior Games Tournament for pickleball in February each year. It was again hosted at Fortuna De Oro Resort. It was my first tournament last February.

Low Key at Williamsburg, VA
While in DC, we experienced a temperamental battery in the Jeep. One morning when we were about to leave Cherry Hill RV Park TJ (The Jeep) wouldn’t start! I walked up to the office and they sent someone right away to give us a jump. Knowing we didn’t want to be stuck in a parking… Continue reading Low Key at Williamsburg, VA
Ford’s Theatre
We had just enough time after visiting the zoo today to get over to Ford’s Theater. As we walked into the theatre you quickly see the booth where President Lincoln and his wife (Mary Todd Lincoln) were sitting. It is preserved as it was on April 14, 1865. Seeing it like that gave me the… Continue reading Ford’s Theatre
Pandas Make My Day!
Today I was filled with child-like joy! Going to the National Zoo while in DC to see pandas was on my MUST DO list. I was going to see pandas!!! Barry was a bit startled when I planned our itinerary for the week and included the zoo. When I told him that the National Zoo… Continue reading Pandas Make My Day!
Arlington National Cemetery – A Moving Visit
We walked to the Arlington National Cemetery from the Lincoln Memorial. As we walked across the Arlington Memorial Bridge my memory of the JFK funeral procession that was televised decades ago, immediately came to life as we walked the same route. There are two statues that flank the start of the bridge honoring deceased veterans.… Continue reading Arlington National Cemetery – A Moving Visit
