Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus

After paying for the bill, we headed out to Lexington, KY to see our friends Yolanda and Jerry Davis. We stayed at a horse farm called Woodlog Covert because it is a Harvest Host. It is a nice place where a pig and a goat run free. Bear was real Read more
We said goodbye to the Anderson family and headed to Nappanee, IN for the annual maintenance work on the coach. We try to get to Newmar once a year and have them check everything to insure that we don’t break down along the road. Besides the regular maintenance items, we Read more
Once Rylan was born we still had a few weeks planned to be in the Chicago area. Good thing because we were able to see him often, make Ariana and Matt dinner (or get take out), occupy their dog Kylo, play some games, and get some of our laundry done. Read more
