I'm going to get back on the horse and
start my Sunny Days Adventure blog once again.
We are 18 months out from the last entry so I will use the first few
entries to catch us up. I took some notes along the way but for the most part
this will start 18 months later. It is a
lesson on how time flies—this has been an action packed time for us:
July, 2016-- bring our new baby home and then our trial run to Gatlinburg |
| She fit!! |
Bringing the whale home—it is really
big but does fit behind the house. Fitz
has turned into a great driver but we have to back up and go forward to inch
her into the driveway so we won’t hit the neighbor’s trees or mailbox. We live in fear that one of the neighbors
will complain but it is convenient to have our “dock” right outside the back
door. Fitz is busy getting to know the
mechanical ins and outs of the vehicle.
I have enjoyed outfitting the inside.
Mid-July we made the 5 hour trek to Gatlinburg to try out the life. Andy, Mary and Rae, along with Elizabeth and
Charley came up from Knoxville –Katie and Leeton and Holden came up from
Cookeville to christen her and helped us test her limits. We learned several things: RV parks are very reasonable for
motorhomes—cabins are outrageous and rustic.
Katie slept on the sofa and declared it comfortable, the kids slept on
the floor in their sleeping bags and were fine.
There was a different crowd at the RV park—no docktails to be had over
conversation with the others. The kids
had a lot of friends by the time they left though. So they are judged to be
more family friendly but less for the older generation. The
parks are usually pretty far away from the city (as opposed to downtown
marinas) so a towed car is going to be absolutely part of this way of
life. However the trolley from
Gatlinburg was only 50 cents each so we were able to enjoy the town.
It has been such a hot July in
Nashville that we remember fondly last summer when we were still wearing sweats
in the morning and evenings!
