Home and Gone Again

Monday was a long travel day and the only hitch we had was a 45 minute wait to get our luggage in Kansas City. By 3 am Tuesday morning we were sleeping in our own bed at home. 

Tuesday and Wednesday were spent prepping the RV for the long drive to FL, getting the house in shape to be shown by realtors while we are gone, grocery shopping, and dinner each night with family and friends. Snow and cold didn't help us out much either other than to push us to get going. 

We left about 11 on Thursday and drove in light snow and rain all the way to the Arkansas/Louisiana border then woke up Friday morning to a snow covered car and RV. That WAS a problem. The bedroom slide would not go in due to ice and snow on the topper!  It was 29 degrees with a 18 mph wind and John had to stand on the very top rung of our ladder to beat and scrape it clean.  The air turned blue over his head!

Eventually we made it to Waveland, MS where we stayed in the Buccaneer State Park. The first thing we did was to check all the water lines, pump and connections the make sure they hadn't frozen or broke. That done we celebrated being back to in the road with a great hamburger and baked bean dinner!
