This morning we discussed heading back home tomorrow. After
having been on the road for 9-1/2 weeks and towing the trailer for 2 months
we’ve decided that it makes sense. We’ll park the trailer in our driveway for a
couple of nights and then bring it to the storage facility on July 4th
as planned. This will make it easier to unload, clean and reorganize for the
next trip. The trip has been an adventure and has surpassed our expectations.
After breakfast this morning, we decided to head over to the Oconaluftee
Visitor Center. It was fun walking around a national park visitor center that
we have visited many times in the past. We are very thankful that we can live
so closely to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The campgrounds are
immaculate with cool evening temperatures, the trails are spectacular and the
places to visit are innumerable! We had an enjoyable day reminiscing about all
the great places that we have visited on this trip. But, before we knew it, we
started discussing the next places we will visit! We are so fortunate to have
had the time to pick up and drag this new camper back home. Many of the buyers
on the East Coast, are stuck paying the Escape driver to deliver the trailer to
them. When we look back, we really haven’t spent any more than if we had had
the trailer delivered, but we were able to create so many memories. This was
also a fabulous way to transition between full time work and retirement. There
was no time to feel “the loss” of work due to the energy spent figuring out
where we would stay for the night and where we would go next! Barbara and I
both feel that this time together was a great way to celebrate our 39 years of
marriage – a second honeymoon with best friends!
