First Leg

Oh Good Lord, we have to get on this plane for our first leg up to Toronto!! I'm hoping we don't have to drop our feet through the floor and run to take off! Jacob is so excited to get on this thing! Wish me luck...I'm a horrible flyer!

RV Trip 2014 - Calgary Bound!

I'm testing to see if I remember how to do this. I had a hard time finding my account name and passwords from 3 years ago! We are off to take another RV Trip this month. This time we are flying to Calgary and spending a week in the Canadian Rockies with Jerry's cousin Sheila and her family. Hoping to make it through the week WITHOUT ripping the awning off this time! Stay tuned to see if we can do it! Our new adventure begins Saturday, August 9th!!

Our Last Night

So here we are on our last night already! We spent a great day in Old Orchard Beach today. The weather was perfect for the beach. Swimming in the ocean felt like sticking your entire body into a cooler full of ice water! Jerry just reached in to grab the muscles for dinner (because we eat like kings when we camp!) and said "it's so cold reaching in there under the ice," and I said "that's what it felt like swimming today!" but the waves were perfect and the kids loved it. If I could have removed about 6.9 million of the 7 million people there, it would've been perfect! Nice to visit for a day but not really any place we would visit for a long time.

After a nice refreshing swim in the pool at the campground we were on the road again! But only for two hours which is an easy day. We're spending our last night in Gloucester MA at a beautiful campground. We're up in the woods with one last bonfire for s'mores. We'll have lunch in Gloucester tomorrow and head home! It's been an amazing, fun, exciting vacation but we are all ready to go home! We miss everyone (I miss my shower and my bed the most....sorry to all my family and friends, but I KNOW you understand!).

We'll see you all soon. I'll probably post on e more with our total miles, etc. when we get home. Thanks for following us on our adventure!!

Beach Picture!!

Old Orchard Beach

We made it to Old Orchard today; but it took us 7 hours! Poor Jer did so much driving, but it was worth it to pull in here. We arrived around 6:30 and are walking distance to the beach. We went down and had dinner and played on the beach for a bit. The kids had lots of energy to get rid of!! We even ran into clients! What a small world!!

We have traveled so far; it's hard to believe that just yesterday we woke up on Prince Edward Island and now we're in Maine. I forgot to tell you about the bridge we crossed to get off PEI. It was 8 miles long!!!! Very cool!

Another funny story. When we got here today I went into the office to get a site while Jer and the kids stayed out in the RV. The people in the office had a bit of a local accent. They asked me if I wanted a full hookup with water, electric and soars. I didn't understand the last part so I asked them to repeat it. He said the same thing again...water, electric and soars. I still didn't get it so I said "I'm sorry, I'm new to camping and I don't know what soars are." He looks me in the eye and says "your toilets." oh, yes, I want that too. It gets even funnier because I get in the RV later and repeat this story to Jer and the kids and before I can finish, Emma says "SEWERS Mom." Duh!!!! That's when I finally got it!!

Anyway, we are back in the RV for the night and are hoping for warm weather tomorrow so we can hit the beach. We froze for the last few days, it feels great to have warm weather. We actually had to turn the heat on last night and the night before! I'm tired of sweatshirts in July!!!!

I'll let you know how our last couple of nights go! See you soon!

Back in the USA!!!

We crossed back into Maine about an hour ago. Spent the last couple of nights in nice campgrounds; pretty scenery and great bike riding. Uneventful day so far, we'd like to make it to Old Orchard Beach, ME today but that's a lot of driving so I'm not sure if we'll get that far. Signal is weak in this part of ME so I'll check back in later.
