it's almost time....

.... can't wait....

:)

been playing...

... we went to Vail Lake last weekend..and had fun playing in the hills and wildflowers..

and also with our new 'toy'.. a Jeep!

Now we will be able to tow it behind the rv..and be able to go exploring on our little trips that we take! Im soooo excited! :)
There's been times on our trips we would have liked a car to get into town or to go exploring with..and sometimes those things are just too far to do on a bicycle. Well..we found a used Jeep at a local dealership here and just had to jump on it!
Now Tim will have something to play with and 'trick out'.. he can't wait to start pimpin' his ride! lol
This new toy brings back such great memories.... Tim used to have a 1949 Willies jeep when we were dating..and we used to have SOOOO much fun getting into trouble with that thing!!
I don't know how many farmers back-40's we've plowed thru..or some real deep mud pits that we had to be pulled outta..and rock piles we've climbed over..and even slammed it into a snowbank once (not on purpose)..and ended filling the back end of the poor jeep with a bunch of snow from hitting the bank!
ahhhhhhhh...the fun...
I think we'll take much better care of this one tho... and no snowbanks to run into lol

Anza Borrego Desert Pics

ahhhhh....
if you want to escape and get away from it ALL...
then head to the desert!!
We felt like we had this whole area to ourselves...it was sooo remote and private and Q U I E T !

Jack rabbits the size of our dog!!

Cactus' galore!

Then we spent a nite at Lake Skinner in Temecula...

Tippy.. lickin' his chops.. wanting sooooo badly to catch a bird!

Hawaii Pictures

We're packing up the RV..and heading to the Anza Borrego desert tomorrow. :)
The wildflowers are suppose to be in bloom...so I can't wait to see what we'll find when we get there!!

Haven't had the RV out since November..and Tippy is just itchin' to get on the road again.

Here's some favorite shots from our Hawaii trip..put your swimsuit on.. pour yourself a mai tai.. cue the hawaiin music..and you can almost feel the toasty sand in your toes.. :)

oh how im still wishin' i was still there..

and yes..we really did see a shark while snorkeling at this spot.. luckily..he was bored with us and just swam away!
