MY HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN

It's hard for us to believe, that the first time we crossed the boarder and headed south with our brand new trailer in tow was December of 2008. 

That first year we went straight down to Texas, (the fastest way to get to the warmth from Manitoba), then we headed east, through New Orleans and on to Florida and the Keys, then meandered our way up the East coast, through Ohio then home. 

2009 it was straight down to Texas again, then we followed the Rio Grand out west and on to San Diego, we did the California coast, the Grand Canyon, then home. 

2010 was supposed to be down to Texas then further travels down east, but we sure were becoming rather partial to Texas.  So many Manitobans, everywhere you looked.  It kinda made you feel at home.  And Texas was so much cheaper than anywhere else we had travelled.  We ended up buying a permanent lot for our trailer, with the idea that we would still travel every winter, but Texas would be our home base. 

Well!!!  We have been "Doing" Texas ever since.  Even buying a bigger trailer in 2013 and permanently settling that, onto our lot. 

Now Dan's brother has bought our smaller trailer to settle it next to ours so that all of us and our kids and extended families can have a place where we can all meet up for a winter get away.  

Sort of a "Thacker Compound"  if you will.  

YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHERE YOUR  ADVENTURES ARE GOING TO LEAD YOU
