Ever visited Bluffton, Iowa 52101?
We have. And we have photos and a couple tee-shirts from Randy’s Campgrounds in Bluffton to prove it.
Earlier in this summer we settled on a vacation week in early September.
Where to take it?
First choice: St. Petersburg, Florida - where Mary spent her sophomore year in high school, while her father, Richard Pannabecker, was on a Bluffton College teaching sabbatical.
Second choice: Key West, Florida. We wanted to see why Hemmingway liked it.
