Flag located beside our motorhome
The time is drawing near. The long wait is about over. We are in the final stretch. In 4 days we will be leaving the Asheville area with hopes of not having to return until around December.
Over the past week we have spent continuing to finish up details with our personal stuff and office. This past Saturday I sold my Nissan Titan truck to a guy that lived outside of Washington, DC. Last Friday night we met with the nice couple that is purchasing our home. The scheduled closing date is June 3rd. YEAHH!! We have finished all the repairs that were needed and everyone appears to be happy. We have spent this holiday weekend going through everything in the motorhome to make sure we have what we need and get rid of things we don’t.
The next couple days are full of school activities. We have field trips and class parties every day. Wednesday afternoon we are inviting all the kids in Zachary and Carson’s class to the local park for a Pizza party. Kind of a farewell party. We are planning Thursday to be our last day going to our office.
Our plans for now are to leave this Friday after the awards ceremonies at school. This should be around 12:00 or so. We will drive to my moms were we will leave Saturday for a week at Myrtle Beach. We will not carry the motorhome with us as we have a condo rented:) We do this trip every year with mom.
After the Myrtle Beach trip we are still not sure were we are going first. We may drive straight up to Washington, DC or we may head up the coast through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel up into Delaware (assuming you can take a motorhome in the tunnel). We are trying to hit each state so we have to plan the best path so we don’t do a lot of backtracking. Some of our first stops will be Washington DC, Gettysburg PA and Lancaster PA. We have no idea after that other than we will continue to head north.
Once we hit the road we will start posting to our blog more often with what we are doing and pictures from the road. Please be sure to subscribe to our blog to follow our adventures.
