After driving almost 1,000 miles and listening to Roark fuss for about 750 of them, we finally arrived at one of the biggest waterfalls on earth. That’s right, Niagara Falls. We actually stayed in northern New York because we didn’t want to drive the motorhome over the border. Oh I’m sure real RVer’s do it all the time, but for this trip, that was not on the agenda. After all, putting on a Maid of the Mist poncho in that wind was enough of a feat for one day without inviting customs in to tour our motel on wheels.
In rained most of the morning, so we were RV bound for a good part of the day, but eventually the sun came out. And so did we. Since we towed a car, we were able to drive into Canada in the afternoon and spent the evening in one of the biggest tourist traps known to man. To read more about our day at the falls, go here. To watch a video of our day…well, you know what to do. Enjoy!
This past weekend we took my folk’s RV for another trial run. Once again, Ken passed the next test: driving while towing a vehicle. So now there is nothing standing in the way of the McKibben Cross-country Vacation planned for next month.
We went up to Huntsville again for more campaigning over the holiday. I told Ken the next guy we support needs to be located in Birmingham. While it does get me out of the house and change up the routine, packing for two kids every week is a hassle.
We spent most of the weekend just lounging around the campground, playing tag, and swinging. We are very quickly becoming sucked into the whole RVing lifestyle. On the ride home, there was even a discussion about how cool it would be to pack up for three months and take off.
Here are the pictures Ken took from the weekend:
Swan Creek Campground Tanner, AL
Pictured: Me with no make up and Edie who’s head hasn’t seen a hairbrush the entire trip. That’s roughin’ it!
Our campsite was across the street from the playground. Something experience has taught us to request. If you look past the slide and trees, you can spot the RV in the background. It’s a monster. I think there is actually more square footage in the RV than there was in mine and Ken’s first house.
This barn was a couple of miles down the road from the campground. It was located in a beautiful area surrounded by farm land. In fact, on the other side of the playground there were corn fields as far as the eye could see.
