RV-ing It

For quite awhile Mike had been itching to do a trip in an RV. To tell you the truth so had I. We used to head up the mountain in my aunt and uncle's motor home and I had such a good time when I was young. When Dan and Mike came up with the plan an RV sounded like a great idea.

To Prepare for the trip we got the DVD "RV" starring Robin Williams. If you haven't seen it we highly recommend -RV experience or not! Pretty funny stuff!
We were hoping for the opposite experiences of the Munro family.

"We got a new van and it even has a potty in it!"-Christian

Yes, it did have a potty and a good shower and both got used.

We had most of our meals in the RV. Full kitchen really. Even a microwave for Briggy's chicken nuggets. It was great to have all our snacks right there with us.

The first night we stayed at Ft Stevens Park. Come to find out there was a small camper part of the park and a large RV part. naturally we had reserved a spot in the smaller camper part so when we came rolling in with our big rig we turned a lot of heads. Daniel parked that thing "like a glove" and even left room for the pop out.
The next morning we were still the spectacle when pulling out for our next big adventure. While we were gone during the day we got some new neighbors and they were speechless when Daniel pulled in again with his exhaust pipe about 2 inches from the front door of their tent. Good times!

We pulled out all the beds and laid down the foam mattresses when it was time to sleep. So sad I didn't get a picture of all the carnage, but there wasn't really place to step! It was nice for the kids to nap while we were traveling to our next adventure.



It was fun being all together!


Thank goodness for all the electronic devices that entertained us!
