We were getting into the swing of things sleeping, working and eating in our new home. A couple of things that we have not actually accomplished yet
1. We have not had dinner in our home (we have had dinner with family or friends every night since we have been back to NY).
2. We have not dumped the waste tanks.
3. We have not washed dishes in our home. We clean our lunch plates at the Held's
4. We have not spent an evening in our home - just the two of us - no plans, etc.
5. We have not organized our clothes - they are still in our suitcases that we took to/from IN.
We have slept in a few different places though. After sleeping on the road out in front of the Held's we moved to the lot behind them. Much quieter and safer but we parked about 2am and ended up very cricked - no self leveling on our RV so that was not very comfortable :) We stayed at the Mannings which was awesome! We had a nice dinner in their house and then walked out to their driveway to our own home. Woke up the next morning got to go for a nice run in Locust Valley and Andy went to work! Sweet!!
Last night I was feeling very sick. I was too chicken to sleep in the RV in case I had to get sick. I felt very defeated as Andy set-up a bed at the Held's. Once we are fully set-up to use our bathroom I will feel more comfortable - promise!
This weekend will be a good trial. We are heading up to Nyack for Grandma Ruth's 100th Birthday Bash. Our plan is to stake out a place for the weekend that we can use when we go back up in a couple of weeks. Andy is doing some remodeling on his Grandma's house in Nyack starting 8/30 and we will probably be there 3-4 weeks depending on the scope of the job. We will need to find a place to settle in. Of course we can also shower, do laundry or whatever at Leah's/Grandma's. But, it will be a good first time on the road practice. After that we head up the Afton LakeHouse where we will have less amentities. We are easing into this fulltimer thing and LOVING IT!!!
Tonight we are taking Victoria out for Sushi. Sunday was her 17th Birthday and she loves Sushi (so do we!). I will blog about Sushi places that we have visited accross the country tomorrow when I can add this one into the mix :)
Tomorrow night is Zumba - more on that later too.
Thursday night may be our first night in our new home together. I already know what we are having for dinner. I will blog on that too...it is the big debate!
We found those see-thru, stackable bins are more useful than suitcases in the camper. They stack real nicely on an unoccupied bunk.
ReplyDeleteBe careful getting real comfortable in your new home while "boondocking" (no hook-ups) You have to be REAL STINGY with the water. Otherwise, you have to go fill up and dump more often,which is hard when there is no dump station nearby.
When you get into a campground with E/W/S (Electric Water Sewer) you can use as much water as you want without worrying. Of course, that costs some $$, but nowhere near what a hotel costs.
