Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

Salt Lake City

May 24

Lucky us...it's May 24 and we get to witness the latest measurable accumulation of snow in the history of the world for this area.

Salt Lake City is only 30 mile. Arrive at a brand new park called Pony Express RV Resort, (ponyexpressrvresort.com.) It's a fine mid-level, nicely kept facility and close to downtown. The exterior B row offers the best views and the middle of the row keeps you away from highway noises. Here's our view. 


It's early enough to do a little excursion....we choose the Capitol Building, nestled at the foot of the Wasactch Mountains.

Chicken Milanese for dinner.  This is a great spring/summer dinner (also can use a veal chop which is fabulous, but tres expensive these days.) Lightly bread a chicken breast or chop and cook through in a little olive oil.  Top with a pile of greens dressed with a mustard vinagrette. Surprising taste. Served with couscous and snow peas.  Used the last of the homemade bread crumbs I brought with us...will miss them and don't think I can make more easily on the road without a food processor.
