a "Living on Wheels" update

I was going through our blog and realized that it is silent about a huge purchase of ours...our own fifth wheel RV!  After extensive looking, reviewing, shopping, looking, reviewing, taking notes (get the picture?) Holly and I special ordered a 35 foot Open Range Light 305BHS.  We love our RV.  It has three bunks in the back, an outdoor kitchen, and it is large enough not to be stepping on each other when the mountain rains run us inside.  We took delivery of it in early July 2012 from Pharr RVs in Lubbock.  If you are in the market, look us up.  We will hook you up with a great salesman!

Anyway...so let's catch up on our trips thus far:

1. The "Getting Acquainted" trip: July 13-15, 2012: Brantley Lake State Park; Carlsbad, NM

2. The "Mountain Getaway" trip: July 27-August 4, 2012: San Juan National Forest; Pagosa Springs, CO

3. The "First Solo Trip": October 5-7, 2012: Palo Duro Canyon State Park;Canyon, TX

4. The "Sand Camping" trip: May 24-26, 2013: Monahans Sandhills State Park; Monahans, TX

So that catches you up!

Man, we are already making some great memories and learning a lot about this side of the state and eastern New Mexico.  I know everyone says our boys' schedules will keeps us from really using our camper, but I am hoping not.  This time away, even if just to sit around and laugh while they learn to ride bikes, is so refreshing.

Anyone want to go on a weekend trip?  We will meet you there!
