Taking the Plunge

After so many moves for John's career in the USMC, we thought "Hey, since we have to drive all the way across the country anyway, why don't we make a vacation out of it?" Well, this time we are finally taking the plunge. We have our orders back to Southern California and the girls are the perfect age for a big trip like this. So, here we go!

The hardest part was committing to the decision to actually buy a "land yacht". John particularly did not want to be that guy. You know, that guy with the 50+ foot long diesel pusher barreling down the highway in between stops at RV Campgrounds to dump the waste tanks and stock up on beer and hot dogs.

To help allay our fears about living the "RV Lifestyle", we rented a rig from an outfitter near home and took a trip to Shenandoah National Park. Checkout this slideshow to see some photos from that trip.

Well, with that done we were satisfied that we could make it across this great nation without killing each other. Next step was to find the perfect rig for our trip. After much research and some RV shows we found our baby. Check our next post for all the details!
