Check out the Blog Archives to read about our cross country motorcycle road trip from MA to CA in the summer of 2011. During that trip we attended the Annual 2011 National Women On Wheels® Ride-In in San Jose CA. Then we just rode. We traveled over 11,000 motorcycle miles in what ever direction we wanted to go for 61 days. We visited friends and family, saw the country, met some amazing people. We made memories we'll never forget. These memories are what THIS BLOG is made of! That was only the beginning. We've been traveling and riding and blogging every since then. Enjoy our stories while we make MORE memories worthy of posting here for your enjoyment.

Solo Trip 18 - Belly Ache

An unfortunate part of this beautiful birthday morning is that Cooper had one of his belly aches.


He went behind the tent to throw up.


It seemed that was all it took before he was feeling better again, so off we went.

Solo Trip 17 - Flowers On My Birthday


When we woke up in the morning it was my birthday.


We made our way outside our tent and look at the beautiful flower delivery I had.


These fragrant flowers were EVERYWHERE.


They had fallen from the tree over night and made my birthday morning with my best friend something special to record in pictures.

Solo Trip 16 - Campground Shower


Taking a shower in the campground is nice after a long day of riding and all.


But Cooper had nowhere to sit and relax.



 If I had laid my towel on the ground for him to lay on he could have been happy, but then I'd have a dirty towel.


I was quick...


He really didn't mind waiting.

Solo Trip 15 - Our First Night Camping

So, on this whole trip, I was prepared to stay either with friends, or in motels, or camp.



Here is our first night camping



This is a relatively new campground right on Lake Ontario.


We chose a place under a beautiful flowering tree.



It smelled so good and the grass was so soft.



The tent was easy to set up and plenty big enough for comfort.

Solo Trip 14 - Niagara Falls


With how many times we've visited NY, we never go the extra 20 minutes to go to Niagara Falls... until this time.


It was later in the day, and I really didn't want to do the whole sight seer experience.



We saw the falls and felt the spray.  We walked around a little, then shopped for a patch for me and a keychain for Cooper to ad to our respecting collections.


Maybe we'll go back some day and spend a whole day, do some tours, go on the trolly and maybe take a boat ride.

Solo Trip 13 - Visiting Pete


We visit Pete every time we can.


We never miss the a visit with him if we go to NY.




He can't get around, 


... so it's up to us.


With PLEASURE!

Solo Trip 12 - Opie Enjoys The Break


Having Cooper visit for a couple of days let Opie off the hook from being the play pal for Cash.


I think Opie is happy for the break.



He watched the other two play from his perch on the top step of the porch.


It was nice and quiet until they decided to come up on the porch too.

Solo Trip 11 - Cooper and Opie


Cooper likes Opie's calm energy.


Cash is much younger than Cooper, 



so I think Cooper hung with Opie a little bit to rest.

Solo Trip 10 - Cooper and Cash

Cooper and Cash were inseparable while we visited here for a couple of days.


Cooper followed Cash everywhere.


They would be great friends if they lived closer.

Solo Trip 9 - Opie and Cash


We moved on to our next visit.


Another relative in NY who has two dogs.


Opie is one Cooper has been happy to play with a couple other times.


But Cash is a rescue who was abused.


He's doing very well now and as you can see he's very happy in his new home.


Cooper and Cash were very happy together the 2 days were visited.

Solo Trip 8 - Shenzie

Jessica and Jesse have Shenzie.  



She and Cooper have met before.


Cooper is much more playful with her this time than last.  She's a perfect size dog for Cooper to play with.

Solo Trip 7 - Jessica and Jesse


Jessica and Jesse came to visit.  


We only see each other about once a year... if that.



The visits are usually short but as you can tell we get a lot of close contact in.


It's so nice to get to see everyone when we make a trip to NY.
