2019 06 30 Wedding, Long Branch,New Jersey, 07 06 - 07 08 Angola, Indiana

Wedding of Rebecca Caughron and Raymond Chalme, Long Branch, New Jersey - 30 Jun 2019


Rebecca and Raymond have know each other since their mid-teens at summer camp. 


Part of the bride's family. Her parents, Karen and Bob (my brother), the blushing bride, Bob, Carol, our daughter, Kristen and her husband, Dave Holcomb. 


Barely slowed Rebecca down long enough to get even an out of focus picture with one of her brothers, Adam. 

Fireworks and Hogback Lake, Angola, Indiana - 6 July 2019


Barges out on the Hogback Lake are the usual methods for setting off fireworks for small local events. 

The open field on the opposite side of the camping sites in front of our rig was roped off for all the packed fireworks. We sure did not expect anything extraordinary but were way off as these were especially good and lasted between 45 minutes and an hour. 

Tori has always had severe issues with the loud noises of local fireworks and hides behind the sofa or in a closet. We think she must be loosing her hearing somewhat because she did not respond as usual to these which were no more than 50 feet away.

Hogback Lake, Angola, Indiana - 7 July 2019

Our site in up in the front of the campground which seems to have recently become a KOA. Lots of pull-through site with full hook-ups. The back of the campground seems to have been for long term campers and permanent residents. Good size campgrounds for walking the dogs instead of just using the dog park. Give us some much needed exercise too.

Chicago, Illinois - 10 July 2019. 
A wine tasting before dinner with Bob's sister, Betty and her husband, Norm at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Barrington, Illinois. So nice to see family and friends while we are on the road.

Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin - 13 July 2019 Brewers 


Brewers versus San Francisco Giants

Latino Night at the Ballpark which is why the teams were called the Gigantes and Cerveceros. And as the scoreboard says, "Brewers' WIN!"

On our way out Bob found a not-so-much hidden Mickey.
