We did it…we took the RV out by ourselves.  After a quick trip to Camping World for some repairs, we went to Valencia Travel Village which I would give 5 stars as a new RV camper.  The trees were mature, the grounds were clean, the amenities plenty, including a huge fire pit, two pools, a hot tub, laundry, showers, bathrooms, and a very nice store.

Once we arrived we set up and had some drinks and snacks.

Dinner included BBQ chicken sandwiches & potato salad, and yes I put the chicken in the crockpot before we left and it was perfect…all the comforts of home 🙂

The evening was quite beautiful with just the right amount of light and the weather cooperated too.  We took a walk around the park and sat by the fire pit for a while talking about the new life we have started!  We’re so happy to be here at this place in our lives; getting close to retirement and already have a plan put into motion. We thank the Lord for these blessings.

So we watched a movie and made dessert then slept like a couple of logs for nearly 10 hours!!  Crazy for us!!  Breakfast included an egg scramble and coffee, then we headed home early to watch football since our satellite still isn’t working.  Camping world figured out the problem and ordered the part so we’ll make another trip down to Valencia soon…oh darn LOL.

We took our RV to the fairgrounds on Halloween with our best friends who are seasoned RV campers.  Jeff cooked steak and I made sides.  I was able to use my stove for veges and pasta, and I baked a homemade peach crisp in the convection oven.

Dinner was great spent with awesome company, stories, and a little booze.  It ended early for me around the campfire as my lungs weren’t quite ready for all of that excitement and the smell of a fire burning…I hit the hay at 8:45 unfortunately.

Breakfast in Donna and Jeff’s RV complete with a yummy scramble, pancakes and mimosas was wonderful.

Gary and I used all of our gadgets and I even took a shower.  The satellite doesn’t work right so we will bring it back to Camping World for some adjustments then camp in Valencia for a night.

Before we packed it up we dumped the tanks for the first time with Jeff supervising and learned that it’s quite easy.

All we want to do is camp!  Sometimes we just get up and have our coffee in the RV or go in and lay on the bed and dream of future camping adventures.  Can’t wait for the next one!
