Our official departure date is now May 29th We decided to move our departure date up from June 1 to May 29. We will head to Las Vegas on the 29th. The cleaners will come to our house on the 30th and then our tenants are welcome to move stuff in after that. Now that we have renters, a rig and a clear view of our time line, we decided it was super important to do an official dry run with our RV. Just to make sure everything is OK and that we know how to use our rig. I found a local campsite that is open to full timers. They gave us the OK to go and stay 4 days and 3 nights. So we hooked up the trailer to our truck and drove to Ventura!!! FRIDAY Hooking up our trailer was actually a little easier. We are getting better at it! The drive to Ventura was an easy 40 minute drive. I drove while Scotty took some calls for work. We arrived and set up camp. I booked us a pull through site thinking that it would be an easy way to park the trailer. I think that usually it will be easier but here at this campsite the sites are close together. It took some effort to get in but getting out looks impossible to me. The street that we have to turn on to get out is so small. There is no way we can make as wide of a turn as we need to to get out. Oh well, we will just have to worry about that on Monday. Once the rig was in place, it was fairly easy to level it and set up the electrical, sewer and water. Then we just pulled out tables and bikes and organized all our stuff. The kids were so excited to go play so they took off on their bikes and scooters and rode around most of the night. For dinner we made french toast. It was an east first day. 
SATURDAY We slept really good Friday night. Scotty and the boys got up super early to drive to Santa Barbara for a bike ride up Gibraler. It is a gnarly climb but a beautiful ride. While they were gone, I played with Pepper and Taj. Then we had an inspector come from the warranty company that we are getting for the RV. We spent the day riding bikes, playing at the beach, meeting lots of fun people and we had a visit from Nana and Papa. We made tacos for dinner then when it was dark we went to the beach to see the bio luminescence waves. That was magical. We relaxed and had a wonderful day all the while we were learning new things about our rig. We found a place to put our bikes for storage. We tried our washer/dryer combo and it leaked everywhere. Oops. We have to fix that today. We also are learning how to store everything and how to find everything. LOL its kind of funny. Going from a huge house to a trailer. We are nuts. But I can see how this trip will be wonderful. Getting so excited.
BIO LUMINESCENCE. THIS WAS AMAZING. JUST LIKE FIREWORKS!!!!
