May 16th.....Back from our camping trip

Well, we went on our first trip of the year. We went to the Eden KOA Campground. We had adjoining spots with  a friend from Sysco,Mike Vorwick , his wife , son and daughter. We had a nice time, the weather was unseasonably cold and it was misting most of the time. Jack spent most of his time fishing at the pond, catch and release only. But he did catch a lot.We had a lot of good food....Mike made a great breakfast the first morning, I made fresh hot doughnuts on Sunday morning. We made some great BBQ ribs Saturday nite. Teddy did really well, loves seeing all the dogs and kids, but, he would've loved playing with all of them. When we got home, he didn't want to come out of the RV, we had to leave him in there for a while, till I guess he realized finally we were not going any place. Traveling is much quieter now that we have the vinyl blinds and Jack added air to the air assist, which really helped.


Hubert , the lion is our mascot. When we got our loan at Harris Bank for the RV, we were the very first loan they gave out in West Bend.So, they treated us very special. We got our Hubert and we told them we would take him everywhere we went. When we actually bought the RV, the previous owner actually drove from Sussex to our Harris Bank, so she could cash the check right there. So Sandy Conrady and Nikki Bernal from the bank came in to check it out. Here's a picture of  Sandy and Nikki infront of our new RV.

May 9th....getting the RV ready

Spent the day cleaning the RV.....getting it ready for this weekend. We'll be going to the Eden KOA for the weekend. We replaced all the aluminum blinds with vinyl blinds, hoping that will make it quieter on the road. They were standard widths but MUCH shorter, so I had to do a lot of shortening. Spent some time rearranging things trying to get organized .....it's going to take some time to get everything just right. I'm looking forward to staying in it again, it really is so comfy in there. It'll really be great taking a long trip in it. But, for now the short trips are good, till we get  everything set up the way we like it.
