End of day two




 Drove 15 hours today. Getting closer to Cali.

Happy Ending


Oops, our camper air conditioner shut down as we were eating breakfast. Luckily we were traveling in RV country and found a great place to have our air conditioner checked out. Ron, the RV mechanic, was there to troubleshoot our problem. As it turned out, the circuit breaker was tripped. Rookie mistake.

Leg Day Tuesdays

This diesel smelling, cracked pavement parking lot was turned into a gym for Stu's leg workout.

Bug Clean Up

Good thing Stu found a squeegee sponge in the camper to wash all the bugs off the windshield. Poppy kept his camper very well stocked. Thanks Poppy!

Breakfast


After a good night's sleep at the Comfort Inn, we decided to check out the continental breakfast. Stu was looking for oats and coconut milk for breakfast and I was just looking for yogurt. Of course none of these items were available. So we headed to RVStu and had a delicious meal.

BTW, everything shifts in the fridge as we drive. So it is always a surprise where the food ends up being when we open the door.

One day down.

We stopped in Englewood, Ohio at 10pm.  We were hot and tired. The camper air conditioner broke. Luckily Stu got the generator running and we were cool again. Gotta go to sleep now. Stu has me getting up at 5:30am to make up for the late start we got today.
See you tomorrow!

RV Sandy


I drove while Stu napped on the sofa.  I prayed as i  drove through a tunnel and was thankful to see the other side. Very stressful! Stu said i did a great job!

Goodbye Havertown, Here we come California


Five Star Restaurant

 Can you find mom's food?

Those two little bins at the bottom of the fridge. All the other food is for Stu! Six cubic feet packed to the gills.
It took him four hours to prepare it all! 

Mobile Motel


Settling in for the cross country trip. We even get to unpack!
