Blast Off 2019

Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Yesterday we left Casa Grande at 8 am.  Somehow the other seven RV's that left town too all managed to hook up together by the time we arrived at the Vicksburg exit.  Three other rigs we already at the Casino waiting for us to arrive for lunch.  

That made 22 people for lunch.  In no time at all the waitress had a table for all of us. We told George whoever sat at the head of the table had to pay, but he ducked out before we knew it.


The weather was great for the drive and everyone was checked into the Rodeo Grounds in record time and parked.  Our escort parker didn't really understand when I said I wanted to park backwards, but he said since we've been here before just do it.  We like to have our rear living room window pointing to the area where the fireworks will go off so we can go inside when it gets late and still enjoy the show.  


Everyone was introduced at happy hour and it wasn't long before you couldn't tell the new people from the ones that have attended before.






Ron Ames told the story of his medical issues and how a new healthy way of life saved his.



This morning we checked our propane tanks and discovered they were very low on propane so we made a trip to Tractor Supply for propane.  While we were out, we also stopped at Walmart.  


Next thing we know it's time for happy hour.  








Carlena and Harry Schoolcraft


George, Linda and Chloe are laughing about something funny.







Donna, Lloyd and WC are first timers to the Pyrotechnic Show. 









Leslie made some great sliders for Happy Hour.  I look like I'm cold in that photo.  






It looks like Barb told Paisley she couldn't go past the white line.







Dave and Barb Burtrum gave me a gift they made.  It didn't show up in this photo well but it says, "enjoy the journey".  It has lights inside it.  I'll take a closeup photo for the next blog.

    1. Not bad during the day, but when the sun goes down it gets cool. We have a perfect view from our living room if it gets too cold. This is the 30th anniversary so hoping it's as good as the 25th.

  3. Glad to see you are still Enjoying the RV lifestyle even with shorter trips.
    You look cold because you probably were. We are!
    Remind the Schoolcrafts that they haven't Blogged in a while and they are on our Sidebar.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the Fireworks.

    It's about time.
