Headed back to Texas

 

We had a very busy day yesterday and it showed. When I woke up... I was in the same position as I was when I laid down. The covers...sheets and pillow were not moved. It took two flips of the wrist and I had the bed made. Sherri followed me to the living room for coffee. We no longer have to go down stairs. We have a single story house so all we have to do is mosey into the kitchen and pour our coffee.

Today is the day! We hitch up the horses and load the wagon and head out on the highway. First thing we have to do is go over to the Sales office and eat our free breakfast. Once breakfast was completed our deliver manager came by to get the keys to the new house. They will be pulling it over to one of the bays to do the punch list Sherri and I had made. Not much wrong but enough that I wanted them to do it before I left out.

It was not too long and Richard our delivery guy came by and told us that we were ready to go. He put our temp tag on gave us the release papers....you have to have these to take you RV off the lot.

Will this go around me??? I need an extension!

I got up in the cockpit of this bad boy and cranked her up! I had a golf cart in front of me and one behind me. I made it out of there like I knew what I was doing. No damages

WEEE HEEE

Next stop was the dump. This will be my first dump in the new RV. Well that doesn't read right does it. OK you all know what I mean. First we need to go through the guard gate and give them our release papers. You cannot just drive an RV out of here without documentation that says you bought and paid for it. The dump is on the way out of the compound. This is what I am beginning to call the park here. They have more guards than the White House.

This is the dump site!

Sherri said that we have never dumped at a site as nice as this one. She is right most dump sites are just that...dump sites. They have this whole park manicured to include the dump site. No spills for Speedy and we were ready to go...I know you were thinking there would be a story in this but not this time. The dump went off without a hitch and we pulled out of the main gate about 10:30. We turned West onto I 4 and then north onto I 75. We drove about 4 and 1/2 hours. The wind was blowing so hard all the high profile vehicles on the Interstate were having trouble staying on the road. We had problems too...felt like I was flying a bomber through a thunder storm! The 4 and 1/2 hour drive seemed like an eternity! 

 

Big Oak RV Park in Tallahassee Fla was a welcome site.

We made it to Big Oaks RV park just off of I10 and got signed into a site. We sat in the front going through our check list on setting the jacks. We got that done and then it was time to put the slides out...Slides...They did not show us how to do this...where are the front slide switches? Deer in the headlight look from both of us. We sat there for the longest and then it came to me...above the passenger seat! We got the slides out hooked up the electric and the water...could not get a lock on the satellite due to trees. I hooked up the cable and we did get TV.

Well that ends this day here at our first camp site in the new house. Tomorrow is a long drive and we will have to be up with the chickens and pull out of here...
