3/28/2012 - Leaving Kansas City to start our life as Full timers

 

Three days from our official retirement date (April fools day :) We left Kansas City on our new full timing life. We first headed to Thackerville OK and a reunion with our very good Hitchhiker friends Ron & Lois at the Winstar casino campgrounds.  It was an excellent campground with large sites.  Since it is a new campground there were itsy bitsy teeny trees.  This will be a great place when they grow upThe other thing that made it great was signing up for a casino card and getting our stay and breakfast for FREE.  Free is definitely GOOD!

I almost talked Miss Susy into pulling the 5er out to start our journey but it was a little chilly that morning and her feet got cold

 We made plans with our musician son JD to come with us and we would make a stop at Austin Texas.
He has his own Blues / old Rock N Roll band in KC and is Quite AWESOME !! Wish I could play and sing like him :(
Here he is with his Momma !  Awe !! this brought a tear to my eyes

 We did meet up with Ron & Lois as soon as we were settled into our site.  We really appreciated that they changed their travel plans just so we could meet up for one night !  Did I mention they are Awesome people!
As you can see, Lois looks very happy to see us but Ron appeared to be slightly overcome. (said it was just something got in is eyes ) They must have been joyful tears because we all went to Toby Keith's at the casino for some really good vittles and visiting

I wrote this more than a month after the fact because our internet has been less than perfect
I promise to catch up on our stops in Austin, Hill Country Rally, Visit with Susy's Momma and where we are now in Livingston Tx
