August 6 to August 19: Trip to Parker, Colorado

We parked the motorhome in the storage area of the Dutch Treat Campground and took off in the car for Parker. Our first stop was, not surprisingly, a casino for lunch. It was brand new having opened less than a week previously. We loved this huge sign over a door:


We spent two nights on the road. The first night we enjoyed a delicious pizza dinner at Bob's Your Uncle. Ron learned this saying from Joyce, as she often uses it with her sister.


While in Parker, Ron cleaned out his storage unit -- completely! Loads of stuff were taken to the Goodwill and lots of trash were taken to the dump. When the stuff went into storage about two years ago Ron had expected to move everything back out and into an apartment within a couple of months. What a massive amount of work he did.


It's easy to tell Ron's a grandpa, there's his sweet granddaughter (in her new princess dress) practicing putting a shoe on her bear, but he's going to poke her anyway!
