Heading Home

Oh the dreaded drive home. We don't have anything to look forward too, unless you count mounds of laundry, unpacking, cleaning and returning the camper fun?

So would I go to the beach in a camper again. Yes! But if I owned my own camper there are a few things that I would like to have. First would be a bigger holding tank, we had to dump way too many times, which also means unblock, unjack, hook up, go dump, block, level, unhook, lather, rinse, repeat. See what I mean, what a pain! Also more accessible storage. We had plenty of storage, but it was not easy to get to. Finally I would need a wider trailer with slide outs. We were tripping over each other and could not walk past each other.

We made it home safe, with no unexpected events, and made better time than on the way out. The kids were not as good, but we all survived. On the way home we did move Danielle to the front seat of the truck, I know, not that safe, but what if the truck didn't have a back seat, she would have to ride there. Justification for not have to twist my whole body and hold her hand so she would not cry. Then when my arm would fall asleep and I took it away she would cry again. I didn't want to go through that for another 12 hours, so this was the best solution. It was also neat to have her in the front seat where I could see what she was doing for a change. We worked on some sign language on the way home too. She has signed milk, more and cookie. We also mastered patty cake, patty cake. It was a fun trip. Now we must get back to reality; school, work, and responsibilities. Until I start planning my next adventure...
