KOA - Sioux Falls SD

We are staying at our first KOA since the beginning of the trip since I couldn't find any campgrounds that had a pool (my request) and wifi (Bidou's request) near Sioux Falls. It is very conviently located but very expensive - oh well, I guess it makes up for all the times we stayed free in a parking lot of a Walmart :)

This little camper is so cute!!! It is little a half of a "tente-roulotte"

On our way to South Dakota

Camille all snugged up on my new Vera Bradley - adorable

Minneapolis, MN

Getting ready to visit one of the Twin Cities - downtown Minneapolis. Poor Bidou this is what he gets to see every morning!

Bidou posing in one of the cross-ways

Let's say we could have feed a family of four in Guatemela for the price we paid for the 2lbs of coffee that Bidou is holding!!!

This picture was taking in honor of my Dad ~ George!!

Mall of America & More

Also known as "Taj Mahal" of the United States - one word describes the place : HUGE

Legoland was incredible ~ Kevin would have loved it!

Taking a break after a stroll around the North Loop of the campground!!

Love this sign!!!

Our new home in Apple Valley, MN

We love pull-through spots like this one where CCTop and the trailer fit perfectly!!

The surroundings ~

Leaving the campground in Milwaukee, WI

The part I hate the most about RV'ing: dumping the sewage. That is why it's Bidou's job.

Camille checking out if her Dad is doing a great job in her regular spot - under CCTop

Harley Davidson Museum

A must see museum if you are in the Wilwaukee area

The reason why I wanted to visit Wilwaukee - The Fonz

and can you believe that he was sporting a Vera Bradley - cool dude indeed

Wisconsin State RV Park in Wilwaukee

We are camping near the Buckeye Red bus!!!

Off to the pool @ Leisure Lakes

Note my very fashionable hubby!!! Green swim trunks and red shirt - very Christmasy, if I might say!!!

Now I really didn't know that these "watchamacallit" still existed??? And when he took his yellow life jacket off.... it hung at least 12 inches long!!!! I really pity this kid!!

Oh yes... my new shape-up Sketcker walking shoes!!! Butt of steel here I come!!

Offbeat Illinois

Always so disturbing to visit a museum on this subject

Camille enjoying the long ride to Chicago! If you ask me, she doesn't look to comfortable but stayed in this position for at least 20 minutes.

We enjoyed a great beef & patato dinner outside @ Leisure Lakes near Chicago

An after dinner Scrabble game - please note that I got the "banquets" word and it gave me 77 points plus 50 points for using up all my tiles!
