Getting Settled for the Summer...

We're back in Wilmington at our "home base" the Wilmington KOA. We're spending the summer here, so we're getting settled. The longest we've stayed in one place since we started traveling is two months, so staying here for five months will be an adjustment.  Thinking I might get a few potted geraniums to put outside!

On our first night home, dinner was pizza from Brooklyn Pizza.  It's become a tradition for us!  We've also had dinner at The Fish House on the Intracoastal Waterway...I love eating out by the water.

Of course, we've visited with Becca, Davis, Katie and Jackson but Katie and Jackson are still in school, so I haven't had as much time with them as I'd like. That will change in a few weeks when summer vacation starts.  Looking forward to babysitting and just visiting.

Hurricane season begins June 1st but we had an early visit from Tropical Storm Ana. Four straight days of rain and wind, but nothing damaging.

We'll have to be hyper -vigilant about the weather this summer. I would not want to ride out even a Category One hurricane in an RV...but that's why we have wheels under us!

I went with Becca to pick the kids up from school and we saw some geese with their babies beside the school. Had to take a photo for Jack...he loves geese!

What would RV life be without a problem? Jack has noticed some dripping from under the RV a few times, but then it disappears for a while. So, we've kind of just been watching it. Well, the other day Jack was emptying black tanks and the black tank to the half bath wouldn't open and drain. We're guessing a broken valve and hoping that maybe that is what's causing the intermittent drips we've seen too??? We'll find out. We have an appointment to take the fifth wheel in on June 3rd (the soonest opening they have). Not easy when you have to take your house into the shop! Fortunately, we have Becca nearby and can hang out at her house.

So begins our summer in Wilmington...stay tuned.
