We Sold Our Baby!

Our lovely Grand Design Reflection 5th-wheel trailer. Our home for two years.

 Sorry I missed posting on Monday. Sometimes life just gets in the way. We had taken a deposit on our trailer a few weeks ago, and yesterday (Tuesday) the new owners, a nice couple from Forsyth, Georgia, came to pick it up. 

We loved that little home on wheels, and were extremely comfortable in it. In fact, the interior was so well laid out that we were as comfortable in it as we are in our 1750-square-foot town home. 

Unfortunately, while we loved living in it, traveling with it was a different story. A rig that's big enough for comfortable living is also big enough for cumbersome traveling. Moreover, just after we bought it, the price of diesel fuel shot up to more that double. 

Our original purpose in getting an RV was travel. And we were not doing that, or at least, not nearly as much as we want to. So the plan now, if the Lord is willing and our health is good, is to buy a small motor home or small trailer and light truck next spring and hit the road west. We haven't seen Glacier National Park, or Yosemite, or the redwoods yet, and so much more.

We have mixed emotions about saying goodbye to our baby, but as always, we're looking forward to whatever the future may hold.
