Our Next Adventure (Elkhart, IN)

Back when we were in Dubai we visited the world’s tallest building.  We were at the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa.  You can get a 360 degree view of the entire city.



There is a lot to tell everyone since our last posting.  To sum up.  After a 15 hour flight we landed in Atlanta.  We then took a connection flight to South Bend, IN. where our home is being painted.  The owners of Mike’s Custom Painting picked us up at the airport and brought us back to the shop so we could get our truck.  The coach was not finished.  We spent the next two days getting over jet lag at a local B&B, The Scottish B&B.


Since our home was not going to be finished for another week, we had to figure out what to do next.  We could stay in the Elkhart area for the week.  That did not seem very appealing.  Heidi and Jay were going to Chicago for Jay’s Cousin’s Bar Mitzvah.  Also, we could visit with our cousins, Karen, Glen, Elise and Nicole.  The best part of this plan was that it was Mother’s Day weekend and Ann and Heidi got to spend it together.

So we had a plan. Or at least part of a plan.  We made reservations in the same hotel that Heidi and Jay were staying at so we could spend some time with them.

Then would then drive to Detroit to see our cousin Bob and and our friend Naomi. We would then go back to the DIA (Detroit Institute of Art) to see the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Exhibition.  Ann has been wanting to see the exhibition ever since we were at the DIA last year. 

OK, now what to do?  I tell you, we have such problems.  Naomi suggested going to Cleveland and visit the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.  What a great idea! (We loved it!  Ann especially liked the exhibition on American Bandstand, as she was a devoted follower during her teenage years).  So we headed to Ohio and Cleveland.

At the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame we saw a new Rock Group featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.

 Also when in Cleveland we took a scenic ride along the  Cuyahoga Valley and visited the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.




When we retuned to the Elkhart area, our home was finished.  It looks great.  I call it New Horizons Summit 2.0.  It looks brand new.



After picking up the Coach. We spent the last two weeks in Elkhart, restocking the refrigerator because it had to be turned off during the painting.  Fixing things and getting ready for our spring, summer, fall trip.  

On Tuesday June, 2nd we leave Indiana and start heading to Upstate NY and the finger lakes area.  From there, up to Maine and down through New England.  So keep posted.
