Glacier National Park-take 2 Day 17

-

Well another day in the park with spectacular views again. We hiked St. Mary Virginia Falls to see some waterfalls. It was all worth the hike. The waterfalls were refreshing after we hiked through an area that had been through a forest fire. We also saw some crazy young cliff and bridge jumpers enjoying a refreshing dip. We all clapped and gave them 10/10 for their flips. None of us dared to do the jumping. 

We rode back through the Road-to-the-Sun to again stare at the amazing landscape. Then we had pizza and played corn hole at Sarah and Tim’s. After 2 years sitting in the Joneses garage, Ashley hauled the corn hole boards to her house in Michigan and then the Herman’s were kind enough to pack the corn hole boards in the RV to haul them the rest of the way to Montana for them. Sarah and Tim played the inaugural game on the boards that were a wedding present and they won, just barely. Not sure if Dave and Pat gave them the game, but the owners of the new boards were proud! A great day had by all!

Remake from last year’s picture. I am old so I couldn’t jump as high.

A relaxing moment after our hike enjoyed by our tour guide, Julie McCoy from the Love Boat, aka Sarah Krol. She was nicknamed Julie as our “cruise or trip director” by Andrea.
We were amazed that Sarah and Tim had hiked this giant mountain in the background in the past. It was a bit daunting for the retired folks.

A nice day on the farm. We fed the chickens, checked out Ashley’s gardens, sat on the deck and went out for ice cream. The Moore’s came to visit too. Definitely a relaxing day. We loaded up the RV with some good food and snacks so we will be ready to roll at 8:00am Monday! No more cute kid pics for a while, just retired people traveling around.  Stories still unfolding!

Oxford, MI - Day 2

Friday, July 11, 2025 - Day 2  Hey, we are back for day 2. We arrived in Michigan yesterday and spent the day hanging out at Sunkist Acres with the Myszenski clan. Nothing too crazy for 2 old retired people! Our Phantom BUS finally arrived with its owners in tow and we headed to Costco for some budget friendly shopping. We are stocking up for our long cross country trek with Brenda and Russ. We had to make sure we had some chocolate on board to survive 9 days together in that BUS and I can guarantee we did no binge shopping. 😆😟   Joey and Madeleine enjoyed getting to know our host family for the next 2 weeks. Joey, Papa and Russ played baseball with Joey and taught him how to wiggle his booty when he is up to bat. Madeleine enjoyed "Russ's daughter", aka Brenda and that just flattered Brenda. Madeleine is now working her magic on Brenda and checking out her bracelets, purse and all its content. I really think she is trying to get Brenda to give her some of her cosmetics...

Thursday, July 10, 2025 - Day 1 We, Dave and Carol departed Hilton, NY in our trusty Honda Odyssey mini van (which is packed with all our needs- Carol was a Girl Scout so hopefully we have everything we need). We even had room for our dog Olive. She is going on holiday to Ashley and Matt’s while we travel on our epic cross country trip with the Hermans. Leg one of our trip will be to Oxford, Michigan to stay with the Myszenski family for a few days. We will hang out with the grandkids and go to Sammy’s 2nd birthday party to the Moore’s house. The Herman’s motor coach RV, aka the Phantom BUS, equipped with a pull behind Jeep will be arriving on Friday afternoon for a few day visit. Then we will be off on a 9 day excursion to our destination, Whitefish, Montana where the Krol Tour Company will entertain us for a week to experience Montana to the fullest. But don’t worry, we have bear spray to keep us safe. Stay tuned for more updates as we travel. Oh, and by the way, we are now on a fixe...
