We have a blank canvas…what to do with it? A QR code, of course! Just a few months ago, Robert took off all the graphics from our Alfa. We like having it plain, but a few weeks ago we were talking and joked that it would be neat to have one of those bar codes on …
Swan Creek Community, Tanner Alabama
Work took us to the Decatur, Alabama area this spring. We needed to stay about eight weeks and we sought a place that was resonably priced monthly rates and in a nice location. We came across Swan Creek Community, just north of Decatur on Hwy 31 in a small town called Tanner. We were greeted …
Little Natural Wonders and a Quirky Cafe
After a particularly long work week, with our eyes constantly glued to computer screens and our minds worn out from the hum-drum of the routine, we were ready to get out of the confines of our RV for the weekend. Friday evening, we still didn’t have a plan on what we wanted to do. All …
US Space & Rocket Center — Huntsville AL
Don’t forget your camera when you come to the US Space & Rocket Center in Hunsville, AL. There are plenty of things to take pictures of and we were surprised how big and how many buildings the grounds actually had. You’d see things like The Saturn V Rocket restored, the charred Apollo 16 Command Module, …
US Space & Rocket Center
We are spending the day in Huntsville, AL. We are having a nice time at the US Space & Rocket Center. I think we’ve turned into big kids. We like all the interactive displays.
Sway Bar Sorrows
Ever since we bought the RV, I noticed a clanking noise in the front end every time we were driving on a rough road. Most of the time, we’ve been parked and I don’t worry about it, but finally when we were in Colorado, I crawled underneath to see what I could see. Come to find …
Changing the Bathroom Faucet
Although we like our Alfa, after living in it for a while, we find ourselves wanting to do a few personal touches here and there. One thing that we’ve changed recently has been our bathroom faucet. There wasn’t anything wrong with the original one, except we didn’t care for the style. We had been on …
Too Many TVs
Robert and I aren’t huge TV watchers, especially when we moved into our Alfa. Our motor coach came with four TVs: one in the basement, one above the driver’s seat, one in the galley, and one in the bedroom. Since our Alfa is a 2003, all the TVs are the old, heavy tube models. The first …
Covered Bridges of Blount County
For this week’s Sunday drive, we decided to explore some of Alabama’s ten historic covered bridges. Since the map showed three just south of us in Blount County, we decided to start there. We headed to Cleveland to begin our hunt. Swann Covered Bridge was the first one we tried to find. We were quite …
Alabama Jubilee — Part 2
We were quite proud of ourselves with yesterday’s post. It was done completely on our phone right there at the Alabama Jubilee. We may be a little behind on technology, but we love it and have fun discovering more. We are in the Decatur, AL area for the next several weeks. We heard that Memorial Day Weekend …
