So many places to go, so many things to see, and so hard to find time and money...but we bought a new camper and have all kinds of ideas and intentions to take trips and see things and be places....
So I need to put some of the ideas together so we can make a plan. right?
First trip after the camper gets here is for my birthday and we're going to Cloudcroft. That's going to be awesome. I've never been there, and I'm excited. We can also go through Alamogordo and see the space museum and stuff, so lots of fun there.
But then, later...I want to go to Salado Texas. There is the Stagecoach Inn there. it is the oldest continually operating hotel in Texas. To make that just a little bit cooler, the hotel was originally built by Thomas Jefferson Eubanks, who is my 4th great grandfather. (Paulk line) So I really want to see that.
And also, there's this house in Denison Texas; it is a Historic Museum because Dwight D Eisenhower was born there. And I like Ike. But also, that house was originally built by someone in my family. I can't remember who right now, and I apparently don't have it notated on ancestry.com. I know it's in my scrapbook, but my scrapbook is all the way over there on the shelf. So far. I mean, sure I can see it from here, and sure it's probably like an actual ten steps away, but I'm sitting down and I'm pretty comfy, so I'll figure out who built the house later. But I want to go there. (to Denison, not the bookshelf)
And to Flower Mound, Texas, where another ancestor started the Methodist Church. And to Sulphur Springs where people who are my family did everything. Everything! Created the county, built the first buildings, shot the buffalo. I need to see it all. Maybe I could find out something about that mysterious great-grandmother of mine.
And then maybe someday we could get really adventurous and go to Louisiana (where my family built churches) and Tennessee (where my family built churches) and Massachusetts (where my family accused the neighbors of being witches). And there is also Cory's family history strung all across the country too.
And I want to follow Route 66, and go to all kinds of old forts and see every antique store in the world. Well, maybe not every one in the world....but maybe 62% of the ones in 27% of the United States within a 836 minute drive of my house. Or something. Some antique stores/junk stores.
And Wyoming where the deers are, and Uncle Joe. We have to go there for sure.
Cory says we need to get a journal to keep in the camper to keep track of our travels. isn't that a cool idea? I love it!!! gonna do it.
gotta go now. Bye.
