Stargazer is packed and ready to hit the road. Our bed is made, water cups full, and music synced. On Thursday we head out for seven+ weeks traveling the U.S. We are excited about visiting national and state parks and connecting with friends and family.

After visiting with Jane, Keith and other members of the Marsello Clan in Rhode Island and then stopping by DC to see Ralph & Gang, we head south to Sanibel, Florida pausing along the way to visit Melinda’s cousin Valerie and Kim’s parents, Jan and Larry. Before reaching Sanibel, we are exploring Harry Potter World with Greg Pepe and Ann Baker, and then to Sanibel with Ann and Greg including a visit from Ray Villanova and Mary Kate Gill.

After some R&R we head west stopping in Houston to visit Melinda’s cousin Kevin, next Lubbock, Texas to visit Greg’s high school buddy, John Kirby, and then to Peoria, Arizona to visit Melinda’s cousin Beth. Next to Boulder, Utah to hang with Susan and Jay Kelly and see the new house they are building. From there to Winter Park, Colorado and time with old friends Tracy Dunning and Eric Sondermann, and then back to Jackson.

Otto is looking forward to keeping us safe, seeing the sites, and exploring new smells. He is hoping that the trip includes some hikes and quality time outdoors.

You should receive alerts when we add a new post. Posts will include photos, news and musings. Have a great spring (we are happy to be missing mud season in Jackson).
