Pictures week 1

One thing we did before we left Oregon was the Polar Express on
the Mt Hood Railroad!  Has become tradition every year for us.

Week 1

So we have moved from this wonderful home in West Linn to our home on wheels.  Cannot believe how busy we were moving things to/from storage and into the RV.  It was very time consuming and exhausting.  But, we were able to leave Oregon Monday and are in Bakersfield visiting Clive's brother Shaun and his wonderful wife Jennifer:)  The dogs and kids are happy not to be stuck in the car!

The weather leaving Oregon was interesting.  Hitting southern Oregon with icy roads and snow.  The rig and car were pretty dirty when we arrived.  Clive took the RV to Camping World to have it cleaned, while that was being done, he took my car to be washed.  The guys at camping world said there was a park for the kids a block down.  So I take Meghan & Ryan, Calvin & Hobbes for a walk.  We literally got a block away and some dog jumps a wood fence and goes after Hobbes!! I'm screaming because I'm worried it will come after the kids.  Finally he jumps back over the fence.  NOBODY came to help! I get 2 houses down and there is a family putting up their Christmas decorations outside and they ask if we are ok!  Seriously?!?!?  I could of been stabbed and not one person stepped out to see what was going on!  As well the California drivers SUCK!  There is no delicate way to put it sorry, but they do!  Insane, aggressive, fast and careless!  Ok, that is the end of my rant LOL!  We have a great park close by and we go everyday, the weather has been nice so have outside a lot.  Big exciting news for Clive and I is the KIDS ARE SLEEPING IN THEIR BUNKS!!!  Ryan does wake early and comes into bed with us but hey, that is fine compared to where we have been the last 6 months or maybe the last 2 years!  It is all a blurr, lack of sleep does that to you.
So here is the dirty rig.  I will do a video tour once I figure out all this blog stuff.  As well, I have to make an open apology to those I never got to see before we left, Karen also showed up at the RV and thankfully Clive was there to show them around!  Like I said above, it was super busy, we needed to beat the worsening weather that was coming and Clive needed to be in Mojave for work.  So please, don't think I didn't want to see you!!
