Journey from Bellevue, Washington and First 6 Months in Florida

I retired on June 15th 2018. We sold many of our possessions but still shipped a full truck of our stuff and a car to Florida. We drove from Bellevue WA to our new home in Brandon, FL, leaving on June 29th and arriving on July 5th after making a few detours along the way. We stopped in Missoula, Montana and in Iowa to visit family and took a detour to see Mt. Rushmore. The Sacajawea (Lewis & Clarke guide) rest stop was an unexpected bonus. Our final night on the road was spent in Atlanta GA.

First stop – a couple of days with Chuck and Joy in Missoula Montana. Spent a great day with them then it was out to a really great steak dinner. Picture is Chuck with Molly at a craft fair.

Family in Missoula
Mt Rushmore – a deliberate detour much to Jane’s delight.

We needed to stop on the road and here was the Sakajawea Rest Stop which we didn’t notice until we were parking!
