I have been enjoying visiting blogs and decided to start my own, even though I don't know what I am doing or if anyone will even be interested in reading what I have to say. I am a 50 year old management consultant who has been married to the the love of my life for 30 years and have two grown daughters and a son-in-law who we are very proud of. We are blessed to live in Scottsdale Arizona and are enjoying getting out and experiencing it in our RV! Thanks for stopping by our blog and please consider joining us, who knows where we will go...Kevin & Tracy.

Who Would Have Thunk It...Happy New Year!

January 2, 2012 was the day I started our blog, we never thought that a year later we would have 172 posts, over 18,000 page views and 68 followers.  I remember how excited I was when I saw that we had our first comment from Michael and Dee who also became our first followers.  I have to thank the two of you because I have to admit that I was starting to wonder if anyone was really interested in reading about our adventures, thanks guys!

Now a day doesn't go by that I don't check my blog, usually first thing in the morning before work to catch up on all of your adventures and to check out your comments, that I always look forward to getting.

I have to admit that I used to read the newspaper on the weekends, now I spend so much time on the blogs that I follow, I rarely have time to open it.  I suppose your adventures are much more exciting and motivating than anything that I could find in the newspaper.

You all have become my extended electronic family and I live vicariously through your adventures, because Tracy and I are 10-15 years away from retirement and being able to live them ourselves, at least on a full-time basis.   I have enjoyed getting to know you and your families, your pets, your homes, both mobile and stationary and I always keep you in my prayers for good health and safe travels.

I am really looking forward to meeting some of you face-to-face in the future and can't wait to connect at a campground as we are out on one of our adventures.

So, I want to thank each and every one of you who officially and unofficially follow our adventures, especially those who leave comments from time to time.  You give me something to look forward to each and everyday as I go about my busy life and think about the future.


Tracy and I are starting 2013 out camping and hope that you are enjoying it as well wherever you may be.  Thanks again for making this blog a reality and our wish for you is for a safe, joyous and healthy New Year!

Blessings,

Kevin and Tracy

  8. Kevin and Tracy,
    Happy New Year!

    I know what you mean about reading blogs and keeping up with people. We learn so much from each other.

    Comments warm the cockles of my heart. What are cockles of the heart, anyway?

    Enjoy as much travel as you can handle in 2013. I hope we meet down the road.

  10. Happy New Year Kevin, I started my blog this year too, pretty much let it languish until this fall and now I am pleased that it is getting lots of traffic, I have over doubled my page views each of the last three months.

    Looking forward to more adventures this coming year!
