Beautiful Sunset




 To all my blogger friends, for some reason on the wifi I'm using its not letting me pick a profile to make comments. I've been replying to some on FB but not sure what thats all about. Rick, we don't have a phone that has a hotspot feature yet but that jogged my memory about a free tethering program my son has used on his android so went out and downloaded pdanet and we'll see if we an make that work for awhile. It won't be that long and we'll have our own connection going again. We waited because we do know that we may not have a signal when we go to Heceta Lighthouse so we decided to put it off for just a little while longer.




Yesterday we took our chairs and planted ourselves in the beautiful sunshine and read until sunset. It was fun to have such a beautiful sunset to photograph. Tonight we are going to do the same but down on the beach. We have decided that our Valentines will be finding a spot to watch the sunset and enjoy a bottle of wine so we are checking to see which site we like better, and no better way to end any day than a beautiful ocean sunset. The weather has continued to be beautiful though I think a change is coming this weekend. So enjoy the sunset. :)

The Urban Life

The view from our balcony I have been thinking about this post for awhile. When we are not traveling I find it hard to sit down and write but I have wanted to tell you about our new digs and what living downtown has been like for us. Another balcony view We moved into a one bedroom apartment on the west side of the river in the downtown Cedar Rapids area. This is a brand new building that actually they are still working on. The first floor is businesses, floors 2 and 3 are apartments and floors 4, 5, & 6 are condos. We love the building. Every apartment and condo has a balcony that looks out over the river and the McGrath Amphitheatre. Our little apartment in this building is 767 sq. which, after living in our 5th Wheel for 7 years, seems huge. We feel these apartments were well thought out. The kitchen is wonderful. It has a large island (all  solid countertops - quartz I think) with a large sink and plenty of seating room . We started by buying 3 barstools but found

Time for me to learn to drive this rig.

Trail at Squaw Creek park Yesterday we moved back to Morgan Creek park (about a 15 mile drive) and I drove the rig! We have always said that I needed to start doing this but I never seem to do it. The first year I think John just felt he needed to get proficient at all the driving & parking things before he had me do it and then we just got lazy. It was just easier for him to do it. Recently friends of our that we met in Tucson, John and Terri had a very harrowing experience that reminded us why we both need to be able to drive this rig. John they think had a seizure while driving, luckily not towing but still it is amazing that they survived it. What this meant is that now Terri had to do the driving back to their former home town Sacramento and like me she had not done much driving. She did great and they are now coming off the road and starting a new phase of life. All of John's test look good so far and we wish him the best and hope that it was just a one time isolated

Three plus years of full timing....what have we learned

Image
Zion National Park,  Utah, December 2010 Harris Hawk at Sonoran Desert Museum, Tuscon Feb. 2011 When we left Cedar Rapids it began our 4th year of living and traveling in our RV. The last three years have flown by and we are still not ready to go back to a sticks and bricks life. We have traveled a lot of the western US but even with time out there all three years there are so many places we have yet to discover. This year will be our first going south and east, all new places for me and many new ones for John. I think one of the things that I learn every time we find somewhere new is how beautiful this country is. If you slow down and take the time you will find amazing things everywhere. I think the thing I appreciate the most about this lifestyle is that freedom to take it slow.
