05-11-2026 Ontario, Oregon to Twin Falls/Jerome, Idaho KOA

-

We left River Point RV Park at 10:30, stopped for gas, and then were on our way. We drove into Idaho about five minutes later. We’ve been through Southern Idaho before, and there’s not much to see when driving. The KOA we will be staying at is the same one we stayed at last year on our way back from Florida. Highway 93 is what we traveled today. The crazy thing is seeing all the triple trailers being hauled across Idaho. 

We arrived at Twin Falls/Jerome KOA around 4:00 PM, but there was also a time change. We are in Mountain Time now. We parked, set up, and then immediately went to get ice cream. The park also makes fresh waffle cones. I love ice cream in a waffle cone. I got Peanut Butter and Mint Chocolate Chip. Barry had Cherry Chocolate Chip and Parents’ Bourbon Coffee. Last year, when we were here, the new owners said they were changing ice cream vendors due to distribution issues. Barry liked the other vendor better. He remembers it being really creamy. I thought mine was delicious. We sat out front on the rockers and enjoyed our ice cream in the beautiful weather. It was in the low 90s.

Our campsite was in the shade of trees and lots of sparrows. I loved hearing them chatter. We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the weather and hanging out.

28 April 2025, Disney World Epcot  We were able to enter Epcot early since we stayed at a Disney Hotel. We immediately weaved through the crowd to Guardians of the Galaxy. What a great ride. It’s a dark ride, and the cars spin, but is it ever fun!  Best ride in Epcot. The other rides we rode are: Mission Space Soar’in Over the World Gran Fiesta Tour – The Three Caballeros Darn! We didn’t ride the Monorail We hooked up with J&K at The Three Caballeros and ate lunch at the restaurant right by the ride, San Angel Inn Restaurante. From here, we continued to walk around the World Pond, visiting most of the nations represented: Canada for Barry, the United Kingdom, Japan, American Adventure, Germany, China, and Mexico. I bought ornaments, a Japanese fan, and a Chinese parasol. In American Adventure, Ken wanted to see the movie, so we entered the American Adventure building. As you go up the escalator to the movie theatre, the ceiling is draped with 44 flags that have flown over ...

Genealogy Fireworks in Stonewall: Whispers, Surprises, and a Happy Dance Most genealogy days feel routine, like flipping through old pages. But every now and then, you hit the jackpot — fireworks go off, your heart races, and the ancestors practically shout, “Pay attention!” That’s exactly what happened to me in Stonewall. From the moment we pulled out of the Arbuckle RV Resort — just a 30-minute drive away — I had no clue the day would end with me doing a full-on genealogy happy dance. Everything felt wet and balmy due to last night’s crazy thunderstorm. However, late spring still lingers, and the green grasses along the highway glistened from the rain the night before.  Once we arrived in Stonewall, we parked on Main Street. Barry went into a store to see if they had a few supplies we needed. The row of old buildings we parked in front of included the store. I just wanted to walk the street and take it all in. Knowing my Griffin grandparents, Bertha and R. D., Uncle Richard, Uncl...

03 June 2025, North Little Rock KOA, Arkansas, to Riverfront RV Resort, Fort Smith, Arkansas Uncle Richard called me this morning. We have been playing phone tag for the last few days. I needed the phone number of his cousin Mary Ann. Mary Ann is Herman's daughter, my grandmother's brother. I'd like to call her when we're in Fort Smith.  Damn this cold. Last night I coughed all night long, so I slept in a recliner in the living room. I rubbed some dōTERRA oils on my chest, covered my head with my blanket, and breathed in the fumes. Seemed to help. I also took Mucinex to help with the congestion. Around 4:00 AM, I was able to sleep better. NOT FUN!!! I'm wondering if it's COVID since Barry lost his sense of taste. We forgot to bring COVID-19 tests with us.  We arrived at Riverfront RV Park around 2:00 PM. What a great park. They have only been open for two years. It's right on the Arkansas River. Nice long, wide sites. Excellent play area for kids, featuring...
