RV Life Update
We are slowly getting the hang of it. Things seem a little easier for hookups, more routine. There are constantly new challenges popping up we've never faced before like leaking water tanks and things settling in the fridge which is then boobie-trapped when you open it. Although I knew some people do that at home too. It's easier to get used to the movements the RV makes at night with wind gusts or people driving by. Before it seemed like someone was pushing or rocking it outside. One of the fun parts is just driving somewhere and deciding we are hungry, we stop and turn on the generator and we heat or cook dinner up real quick and then keep on our merry way. We have driven from Buckley, WA to Marceline, Mo with a drop to Topeka, KS and now back up to Des Moines, IA in only 11 days. Feels like a lot longer. States whiz by and some blur into the other while a few really stand out. Idaho was the most barren and desolate. Wyoming was really pretty and Missouri might have been the prettiest if it weren't for Yellowstone. Space isn't really an issue now that we are getting better at stowing things. School is at the table mostly but the couch is where I blog a lot and read. My current projects are on Theodore Roosevelt and National Parks. I am also reading ahead for Chicago and East Cost where my mom says every corner is a monument to someone or a historical landmark. You can't spit without being somewhere a president has been doing something. It's going to be a busy month!
