We have moved in

It was a busy day yesterday, we had to go into Temecula to get a power washer so Brad could clean the pad before we moved in. We knew that closing yesterday was going to be likely and we were excited enough to move asap. (Escrow closed around 3pm)

While we were at Lowe's we also bought a new BBQ and rented the 'Lowe's truck' (a 1/2 ton you can rent by the hour to take your purchases home). Once we returned home Dave & Karen came over to help us offload and I ran over to our rig and got it set to move, putting things away and closing the slide. We didn't have official confirmation of the close at that point but had been given permission to move over regardless.

Dave then followed me back to Lowe's to return the truck and return me to the resort, Thanks neighbour. While we were doing that Brad was finishing the power wash and took the RV for a propane fill.

Once back home I drove the rig around the corner to our new site and Brad and I got it set up in short order and began to assemble the new fire pit coffee table but the sun was about to settle so we called it a day and went to The 15th Hole with Dave & Karen for supper. They had run out of Lasagna (it was Pasta night), coleslaw and french fries, so burgers it was.

After supper we went over to help Dave & Karen with a small project and then we all went over to sit at the fire pit on our old site since we didn't get our new pit assembled and Dave needs to refill the tank on his. Had a good long gab session before heading home for the night.

It wasn't until this morning when I sat down to write that I realized I hadn't taken any pictures so will remedy that today and have some nice pictures of the new site as we have it arranged. Our rig is tiny compared to the vast majority of 45 footers in this resort, and our site is already pretty large so it looks even smaller but we have more 'living' room this way and allows us plenty of room for a larger rig eventually.

Our New Pad

Awhile back I said I'd take pictures of our new site here which we move into on Sunday, yesterday I remembered to take them. It doesn't look like much at the moment and the current owners 5er is still on it but...

Roughly 40' x 80'

Our Ace will leave tons of room until we find something bigger

This site shows a 2-tiered build out which I would like to duplicate on our site

Obviously we have a great deal of space on our new site and many many options of what to do with it. We've agreed to live on it for the rest of this season and figure out how we use the space before making any alterations. As an example: I know where I want my kitchen but sun placement, etc. will determine whether that is truly a good spot.

Karen, our neighbour is all happy because David made it back yesterday from his trip North to get their car. It's a little tight with a truck, car and golf cart at the front of their site but the truck will be returning home eventually. Now that they have purchased their own site the won't be moving their 5er at all.

Yesterday afternoon we stopped by Vickie and Bruce's only to discover they had a crowd, again. We visited for a little while and then came home. Around 9:30pm someone was banging on our door - yup, Vickie. They were taking Gus (dog) for a golf cart ride (he has a thing about golf cart rides), they hadn't been able to take him earlier since everyone was still visiting them and had only just left apparently.

It was decided that we should have a party when we move to our new site. Vickie will advise everyone. I offered to have it at her site but noooo. Don't know what the hell she was thinking, we came down here to go 'camping' and I am not prepared to entertain. I have nothing to accomplish such a feat including ice! She knows this.... no seating, no cups, no ice. Should be a great party --- VICTORIA!!!! 

I'll have to call her and put a stop to this.... I'm sure that won't go over well.
