Well, I have to say it's been kind of hysterical. One minute I think we know what we're doing and we've got this down and the next minute were searching frantically for that one item we know is stashed in one of these damn cabinets and can't find it!
We drove a bit longer than we should have today but only because I'm still chicken to drive it. The plan is for me to take the RV Boot Camp when we're down in LA next. It wouldn't have been too bad but there are only two rest stops on the 101N and there was NO space for an RV at either one so on we went. We weren't planning on driving without really stopping so we had to be creative with snacks and other necessities.
This is Whisky after we pulled in and got set up in Betabel. From Malibu it was about 300 miles and 7 hours towing the Fiat. Considering she did nothing but worry about what the hell we were doing those 300 miles I guess she could have been more worn out...
Of course, once we were parked and setup, we were all very happy. It doesn't take long for the stress of the road to go away. We also found out that this park will accept mail and packages so we've ordered some things we think will help, such as a folding broom (we can finally sweep)! I never thought I would be so excited about sweeping, but I can't wait.
I used the stove for the first time tonight and neither Rusty or I were shocked to discover that I can boil water no matter the location.
A simple dinner but it was nice to eat in. We ate nice restaurants in Malibu on Tuesday and Wednesday night and while the food was amazing, we do like to eat at home. The bread I made in the breadmaker on Thursday night, but then we just had spaghetti with marinara.
We did some things around the RV this afternoon but we really need to reorganize and figure out better ways to handle some of the things we do, but all in all I think we're doing really well.
I am so thankful to everyone who came to say goodbye to us at UCLA and your thoughtful gifts! I will forever remember how excited everyone was for us, and am sorry if I missed saying goodbye to anyone. Our balloons have been following us on our trails!
