Our adventure begins.

Hello whoever stumbles across our blog. We are a family of 7 and about to embark on the biggest adventure of our lives, moving into an rv.
First off lets introduce everyone there is Mom and Dad, that would be me and my wonderful husband. Then we have 11 year old Hazelbell, eight year old Daniel, seven year old Annalee, Frederick the two year old and newborn Little T. The answer to the first question is they are happy and excited about this move. We asked them and had them help with as much as possible along the way.
We have an official launch day of May 30 and our first stop already planned. We will be moving and stationary most of the year, meaning we will move around to different area lakes staying in the area for Husband's job. We will get to travel during layoff periods that last anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks and we get at least 2 a year. This is going to be so great because currently we can not take a vacation because of occupancy rules and a family vacation being split into two hotel rooms doesn't sound fun at all. So with this new adventure we can go on vacations and take our home along, we can live at the lake all summer too.
Okay so we bought a 5th wheel, a 98 Prowler. It was a really good deal because of the salvage title, means it has some damage but is structurally sound. It is also why we got such a great deal for 2 slides and 33ft is should have been twice what we paid. I hope to do this with as little debt as possible so we have more money for adventures. We don't have a truck yet so we sort of put the cart before the horse, however now we can make sure we get a horse big enough to pull the cart. We are currently looking for the truck and are just waiting for the right one.
The children are all very excited for this move and are making plans. They will be the ones choosing the destinations when we do get to travel. A few of the possibilities are the beach, MT Rushmore, Yellowstone, Texas. It is going to be a much simpler life with lots of memories to hold onto.

    1. Thank you. Life is short and that is exactly why we are doing this. It is the one huge lesson we learned from Dan's Dad when he passed, you never know how long you have so grab today and enjoy its blessings.
