Fortunately, Ken and I have a host of memories traveling around North America. From the time we married, we travelled using our 1953 Volkswagen bug, camping as we went. We did as much traveling as possible, which was a good thing because many places we visited we have never been able to get back to see again. The brain is a wonderful thing. Pictures stay in your brain, just as you originally saw them, or perhaps as you think you saw them.
When we moved to Texas in 1964, we drove a fancy new car. Every other weekend Ken and I explored Texas and the south. And we camped. When the boys were born in 1968 and 1969, we dragged them with us but now driving a big station wagon. It wasn't until we bought our first farm in 1973 that we stopped camping. But by then we had driven all over Canada and the US. And we did it on the cheap.
Lots of people have told me that they wish they could travel. But they say it is too expensive. Now Ken and I can not do much travel. We do well to get from one place to the other of our homes but we have a wealth of pictures in our brains. And we are very grateful that we travelled when we were able and not waited until we had lots of time and money. We would have been out of luck.
