House Prep & Packing up

  • The process went in stages.
  • Dylan worked out in the RV
  • Kept the heat on to charge the batteries in the winter
  • Bought internet
  • Dylans clothes got moved in and emptied from inside.
  • Jessie started working in the RV.
  • Then Just a whole bunch of everything, Jessies clothes and stuff
  • We were going through everything we had since Bob bought another home and was moving.
  • Sharon came over one day with the van and we took so many plants

The Journey Down

  • Aiming to leave at Noon on saturday but due to all the packing and house prep we left around 4
  • Our destination was a cracker barrel in Wilson NC but ended up picking a closer one due to the time
  • Drove the beltway around DC which was slightly congested, also a little trafficy around Richmond but we had clear skys, a nice day to drive.
  • Got to the cracker barrel and pulled right into one of their nice long RV spots.
  • We ordered take out. Browsed the store for awhile. They had a huge nice fire going in their fireplace which made it super cozy in there.
  • Got up in the morining, got coffee, and headed south
  • Tried out getting gas at a trucker stop.
  • Slight hickup figuring out what the prompt on the fuel pump meant, Tractor & Reefer were the options, learned that reefer is refridgeration, we wanted tractor

Arrival

  • Bug & Victor came not too long after we got setup with a nice home cooked dinner
  • They also brought us dishes to eat off of which was a Pro RVer move. Was great we didn't have to do them
  • After eating we walked around and they showed us the facilities and actually introduced us to some of their friends that were here in the park.
