Our New House

It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.

Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…

We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.

I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.

So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.

Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.

I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

From Redwoods to Grapes

Today we are back in Petaluma. We left the California Redwood Country and are now back in Wine Country. We were going to stay here 2 days and do some more Wine Country exploring, however we decided to stay an extra night in Ukiah last night so we are staying only one night here to make up for it. Right after we left Wine Country the last time, a good friend emailed me with some fun things to do. We were going to do then on the way back through this time but since we are only here for 1 night I guess we will save it for another time.

Tomorrow is the drive through San Francisco. If it’s anything like the drive through San Francisco on the way up, it’s a piece of cake. I was expecting a lot worse. We will hit The City between 10:00a and 11:00a so the traffic should not be a problem. I guess it doesn’t matter what time you pass through Santa Rosa the traffic is terrible. We were lucky to do 15 mph at times. I thought it was one of those freak things when we went through last time but it was the same this time.

I guess all the work I did yesterday cleaning up the motorhome paid off because someone asked me today if it was new. I like that.
