OK so I really thought the home of the Simpsons was either Springfield Missouri or Springfield Illinois. As we traveled from one to the other today I saw nothing to do with the Simpsons. My friend David Doucette ( for some reason he is one of those people I always use their first & last name whenever I talk about them) informed me that ….

The past three nights we have stayed at KOA Kampgrounds and I have to say how impressed I am! The locations are cool, the staff is so friendly, the grounds are immaculate, they have awesome amenities and there is consistency in the brand that is comforting.

After we arrived today we were hit with a severe thunderstorm with up to 70 mile an hour winds. I tell you I’ve been in the desert so long I was blown away by the thunder and lightning,
How soon we forget, the weather forecast in AZ is generally the same everyday! The irony is we planned our trip to see the grandkids and escape the summer heat back home, but the forecast calls for temperatures feeling up to 111 degrees!
