Goal of 50 States Reached!

National Museum of the US Air Force

Kudos To Us! Last month, I forgot to congratulate ourselves on our 15th anniversary of traveling full time in a motorhome!

Touring Wisconsin

North Point Lighthouse, Milwaukee, WI

After leaving the Sugar Bottom Corps of Engineer Campground in Iowa, we headed north into Wisconsin. This is another state we've never spent the night in, so it gets marked off the "bucket list"!
