After a whirlwind five days of testing all systems, loading, packing, sorting, taking care of both Mothers needs, Stevens’ Driving lesson and Tiffanies Birthday party we finally blasted off at 1:30 PM today.
Before we left, our landscaper showed up to mulch the flower beds. I ordered red mulch but got a darker shade then I wanted. I was promised that when the much dried it would be a brighter shade of red. Then states Paul “you won’t be here to see it anyway.” REALLY – then just maybe I won’t spring for the wrong color mulch. LOL.
Then the propane guy shows up to fill our home and RV tank. A new company took over so now this guy will only fill our home tank to 50%. He says our tank is too old and it is too dangerous! Again, REALLY. It seems they want to install a new tank – another expense on the horizon I believe. Oh well, it’s warm so we won’t be using the fireplace anyway.
Gosh, no wonder we got off to such a late start. By the time we left our yard we were both already tired.
I tucked Jewel in on the couch after sedating her with some lorazepam. She shook a bit then calmed down. We opted to drive to Foxwoods and boon dock to make sure all systems would work. The traffic was quite heavy and we arrived at Foxwoods around 3:30 PM. They are doing a major reconstruction in the parking area for RV’s so spaces were limited.
Getting set up took some time because we had to reacclimatize to all the operating systems. After setting up we hit the casino, (no gambling for us) walked around and stopped to have dinner.
Back at the MH we settled in to watch Idol. Of course we had to move to a different spot to prevent interference with the digital signal. Then it was off to bed after our first day on the road.
