Summer Journey

We are all packed up ... ready to go ... Beckett is nervously following my every move; not wanting to be left behind -- as if THAT would ever happen. We are headed for a four night stay at Charlotte with stops at the Coushatta Casino in Kinder, LA ( winnings should provide enough to cover the trip), Meridian, MS and Anderson, SC. Eventually we will go to Virginia Beach, Northern Virginia, Ohio and return in mid-July. The highlight is our grandson, Danny, will graduate from high school in Northern Virginia on the 19th of June and will head to Madison University this fall. Also, Gene is scheduled to take a flight in a T-6 (Texan) trainer that he first flew in flight school eons ago -- what a fabulous birthday present!

More to follow ....

The trip over was pretty uneventful ... super hot ... upper 90's. After setup in the Red Shoes RV Resort at Kinder, we hit the casino ... sadly, our $10 only gave us about an hour of play with very little real action. Our dream of bankrolling the trip vanished with our ten spot. The place was full of old folks and SMOKE! Nevertheless, it was fun. Casinos have come along way from the "put you money in and yank the handle". One almost needs a three hour course on the whole thing just to figure it out! After dinner in the casino we are now watching the telly and getting ready for an early departure to Meridian.

Speaking of the Red Shoes campground ... very nice ... very clean ... WiFi ... cable ... 50 amp service ... shuttle service to the casino ... all for 20 big ones a night. Such a deal!

Talk to you later ...
