We have talked about doing another cruise. Kind of glad ours got cancelled, I picked the wrong boat since it didn't have a kids play area and we are doing my mom celebration of life this Sunday. It also made me get off my butt and do some maintenance and upgrades to the motorhome. Since we got new tires I have been thinking of doing a Key West trip in it. Little man will be in school next year so we now have to plan around that. Packing and made our food pick up order. We are getting there.

I could have booked our 3 rd and every cruise also, but we do not know what we will do for that one yet. We are going up to Pigeon Forge for our first anniversary, not taking the camper. They are booking out to April 2023.
I finally got off my butt and started doing some yard work.
Yall be safe

Brought a load of clothes and some dry goods over to the motorhome this morning. I also rechecked all the fluid levels just to be sure. I will drive it around the parking lot and get the TPMS sensors reading and check tire pressures one last time.I have a grocery pick up at Walmart today and then bring it over and put them away. Getting real close!!

I think we are ready to go. I have the last little bit of stuff packed into the truck. Heading to the motorhome, get the hummer hooked up and head out. Weather is not looking so promising but a bad day at the beach beats a good day at work anytime.

Adam Racing just joined.

I just traded my 1997 F150 Lariat in on a 2012 F150 SLT 3.5L Beast and boy does it put the 5.4L to shame in shear torque and horse power. It's hard to keep my foot off the gas lol. Never had a turbo before.

The hot water heater does not work for some reason, fuse is good. The bath house is close so not an issues. Had a clog in the grey water drain line, water started backing up in the shower. I got it cleaned out so no more issues there. Going to ride out the rain in hopes of Wednesday being a good beach day. My son has no interest in the water, the waves scare him. All he just wants to do is dig in the sand and make sand castles. He also wants to play putt putt golf.

We went to the beach for a little while yesterday morning, water was very warm. We only stayed for a few hours before we had to leave to go to my moms celebration of life.

On the hot water heater is there water in it? When you winte​​​rizered did you bypass it? Can not remember if it has a separate gas valve.

Just be patient with your son

The plastic drain plug was cracked so I bypassed the heater, ran to camping World and got another plug and installed it. I have not turned the water back on to it yet. It has been constant rain here so I have not messed with it anymore. Little man was pretty good despite being cooped up in the motorhome most of the day. I am enjoying the extra time I get to spend with him.

Our daughter was talking to her grandmother and was saying she hoped we would be ok riding out the storm. Grandma says the weather in Orlando was just fine, our daughter says they are not in Orlando they are in Panama City. Grandma said oh lord I had no idea they were there. Of all the times we have been on vacation this is our first wash out so I’m not complaining.
