Our first trip in Sunny!

We hit the road early Thursday morning on our first "trip" heading toward the sunny town of Osoyoos.

We left Tynehead RV Park at 7 am and hit the freeway.  We were meeting Christi, Corry and Alex in Abbotsford to gas up our beast as cheaply as we could.  (it was 122.9/litre)

Corry and I switched places and he drove with Grandpa until the next stop in Princeton.  (a potty break not a gas break)  Yeah for motorhome washrooms, no grotty gas station washrooms anymore! 

The motorhome made it through the mountain passes with no problems and we pulled into the NK'Mip campgrounds on the east side of Osoyoos Lake around noon.  A lakefront campsite for us!

 

 

We set up our camp and started to relax!

 

 

And playing in the lake....

 

 



Alex playing on the shore...

 

 

 

After supper we went and played a round of mini-golf at Rattlesnake Canyon...

 



 

All that was in the first day,  on Friday we played in the sun and the water....

 

 

 

 

 

Christi, Corry and Alex headed for home after dinner,  and we relaxed the rest of the weekend  by enjoying the lake and the sun...

 

 

 

 

 

We walked into town, checked out the neighbourhood pub (of course) and watched people (alot).

 

On Tuesday we headed home, reluctantly, and met this guy when we stopped for lunch in Princeton.  Any ideas on what he is??

 

 



 

 

So for now its back to Tynehead RV Park, and for Al back to work!  Hopefully we will get another trip or two in before retirement



 

 

 

 

 



We have internet!

We moved into "Sunny" on Wednesday May 2nd and it took until Friday for me to go insane with the lack of internet...I can deal with no tv, radio etc but  I couldn't read any of the blogs I follow!

The RV Park we are in is located in Surrey, BC.  There are lots of full-time rver's here, some have been living here for years!

Our plan is to stay here until the end of December when Al retires and then head south for some sunshine. We can't leave until after Christmas Day because our new little grandson, Alex was born on Christmas Day 2011.

We have no set plan yet, we will thinking about that as soon as we get settled here!  We still have a few kinks to work out and some boxes that just aren't fitting well...

Yeah a 47" tv doesn't fit into a motorhome. We will definitely have to get a smaller tv!

Here are some more pictures of "sunny" before and after the move and our new surroundings!  and yes it's blurry but here is proof that Al does dishes!

Here are pictures of our adorable grandbaby Alex....

We are full time rver's

Last night we rolled away from our house.  More will be posted once my internet is hooked up.

The countdown is truly beginning!

We finally did it!  We bought a motorhome.  We pick it up on Saturday.  The time table is starting.  We plan on moving into it approximately on May 1st.  Then the countdown to Al's retirement will start.
The plan is December 31st the work will be done and then we can head south!
Now I realize plans have a funny way of changing but....

204 more work days
