Back From Rally

We took off from Columbus KOA at about noon.  Mark and Sue followed us home so we will have a few days to visit. We had a long drive and it was very windy but we made the best of it.  Here are some pictures along the way. 

The RV Park is almost empty with all the Tiffins back on the road.

Later in the evening, we went to visit our Daughter, Corina and to pick up our Yorkie, Charlie.

Mark is helping Corina, as she bought a laptop and has no idea where to start with it.

He works on the connections and gets it going for her.  Thank you so much, Mark.
