May at last



Spring seems to have arrived and we are embarked on what has come to be an annual Spring outing with the camper.  We left home near the end of April to attend an Aliner rally near Pella Iowa.  The idea was to get a jump on their annual Tulip festival, get in see the Tulips and get out before the Festival actually begins on the first weekend in May.  Our rally covered two days with about 12 other Aliners present, for 20+ fellow campers.  We enjoyed the two days with lots of good food and meeting some very convivial and interesting folks who share our interest in camping and traveling.  Our plan is to slow migrate south to another Aliner rally in late May near New  Orleans.  Between the two rallies we have no fixed plans, but will stop in St. Charles to visit with Bill and Susie, Ginnie's siblings.

Now we are in Fairfield, Iowa, my hometown and camped in a pleasant campground on the outskirts of town.  Fairfield has lots of restaurants and coffee shops and the plan is to sample as many as our waistlines will allow.

This picture was taken from the front window of our camper during the rally.  Shown are some of the other Aliners at the rally.

We will be in Fairfield for a couple more nights and then move on to St. Charles to visit the siblings.
