Leaving on Tuesday!

On Tuesday we are heading out to Death Valley for a week.

Death Valley National Park

We last were in Death Valley 10 years ago with Scott and Terri. The first post I ever made was about that trip and planning for our retirement. We made our retirement goal within a year which is pretty good!

While we were here in Ventura we had a great time visiting with the kids and grandbabies!

Here is Charlotte.

We went with the kids and Grandpa Jim and Grandma Carol as well as Cousin Ayla and Aunt Shannon to Underwood Farms for their Easter time festivities.

Here Crystal and Grace are in the Petting Zoo area.

We all rode the wagon. It was pulled by a tractor and went all around the farm.

Enjoying the ride!

We decided to purchase some bicycles for exercise. We found a Schwinn  21 speed 2.6FS mountain bike for Patty and a Trek Gary Fisher 21 Speed mountain bike for me.

We got a hitch mounted carrier so we can take them with us on the road.

We will be staying at Furnace Creek campground at Death Valley. A couple years ago they installed full hookups. Because the federal government is so efficient (LOL) it took them over a year to decide how much to charge for the electrical hookup so the boxes were locked up and not used.

Eventually the committees got it figured out and  the one park in the country where electrical hookups are necessary is finally working!!!

Here is site #45 we have reserved for the week.

While we are there we will do the two tours of Scotty's Castle, the house tour and the underground tour. We also have the Lower Vine Ranch tour scheduled which is where Scotty actually lived.

Well that's it for now!

God Bless all and have a Great Easter!

He is RISEN!!
