After retirement, she and Rick traveled and camped extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe which included shipping of their Volkswagen Camper Van to Europe which they used on several trips and had many wonderful adventures.  She loved to come home from her travels and tell the wonderful stories of her and Rick’s adventures.
