Carl Spindler Marina & RV Park, East Peoria, IL: 4/18-5/18
Our trailer has made it to our long stop in IL! The slideout has been a bit balky at times -- mostly when it's really wet/humid (When is it not in this part of the country??), but so far it continues to open & close. We will be here a month, visiting Willie's sister, Cathy Barry, Cathy's husband John Barry, Cathy's daughter, Jennifer Perez, and Jennifer's 4 children, Devin, Christian, Sophia and Aidan. What fun we have seeing all of them!
Our plans are to be here a month, with lots of family visits, a few Met Opera Live in HD performances, some duplicate bridge and maybe a bit of line dancing (So far, not looking good for line dancing using various web searches.) Last week was spring break in Morton, where everyone lives (about 12 miles from this cg), so we visited many hours every day. This will slow down now that the children will be back in school. We have also seen one Live in HD -- "Capriccio" by Richard Strauss, starring Renee Fleming. What an amazing performance!
After our time here, we will travel to Rock Island, IL, for a brief visit with Willie's nephew, Michael Barry, his wife Kim and their son AJ.
