The Loves of Our Lives-Larissa & Arianna

Arianna was so sentimental all weekend long......I guess she was trying to tell us not to leave her again. I felt so sorry for her. She would just start crying!
Lari is always ready for a picture!
Arianna caught off guard...
Lari poses......so cute.
We bought their dresses on Friday and took them to the Studio on Saturday after Arianna had napped. She took good pictures at home but refused to take a picture at the studio. She cried and cried. We will try again next week.
They are having breakfast on Saturday morning. Lari chose the menu!
They played video games and are really focused!
Lari was Super Girl and Arianna was Belle. Gorgeous!
Since we missed Halloween with them, we brought their outfits to the RV to dress them up and to take their picture with their outfit. Grandpa wore a mask and that really scared Arianna!
We sure missed them!
Arianna was the only one home when we got there and then she and I walked to the Bus Stop to pick up Lari. Grandpa waited in the front yard. They were so happy to see us. We were very happy to see them!

Last Pictures of Our Fall Vacation

We arrived at the Esparza RV Resort on Tuesday, November 11 after driving here as soon as possible. We received notice from Corina that a toilet line had busted and that all of the house had about 3-4 inches of water. We were in Atlanta, GA on Sunday and headed home after those bad news!
We parked and hooked up. We have to have satellite so we are parked outside instead of the garage.
Manuel just hates to go see the damage in the house but here he goes!!


Our last stop was Barksdale AFB, Shreveport, LA. We drove all day and stopped at dark. We had rain from Mississippi, thru Louisiana and it stopped when we got to Round Rock, TX. It sure was bad weather and we hate to drive in the rain. But at least we got home safe.
Barksdale AFB has a really nice campground. We will have to go back someday. Our plan had been to stay there three or four days.
They have a nice museum of airplanes and the B-52 bombers kept flying overhead. The sky is so dark....
There is a long barge under the Mississippi River Bridge.
Flying J was the only place we stopped on the way home.
Colors along the way. Leaves are turning as we crossed Alabama.
Long, long road.....especially when you are trying to get home in a hurry!
South Of The Border.....an amusement area.
Robert Jr. and Manuel set the Megellan GPS we purchased while in Virginia. It sure helped. Manuel reassures himself with the maps. Joel tries to help!
Chesapeake Bay as we leave Virginia...Norfolk area. It sure was beautiful there.

Transportation & More in Colonial Williamsburg, VA

It was getting dark while we drove the battlefields in Jamestown, VA. This is a driving tour since there is so much land to cover. Very interesting area!
Rivers and bunkers were seen in this battlefield.






Just Color...
























































After walking all day, Manuel is looking for some fast wheels. He is just getting information on these electric scooters.







Hey Richard, we found this King's Arms Restaurant........






























































As we watch the re-enactment.....Joel makes new friends.







Resting while watching the re-enactment.































































This lady was from Houston, TX.














































No this is not a horse......it is a huge, tall dog!
