And here we are one year later! Yikes! This past year got kind of busy and so while there were a few small weekend trips we ended up winterizing the RV and parking it. I had to finish my degree (psychology) and the hubby got slammed with overtime at work on a huge project. Between work there was ferrying kids from one activity to another and so our love of rv'ing was put on hold....
But we are back! The rv has been de-winterized and we are off and running! This upcoming long Memorial Day weekend will see us back at Kitsap Memorial State park. Our reasons for choosing this park for our first 'camp' are many fold. First, it is close, so we can work out all the kinks that one usually finds in a first camp (this past fall/winter our rv was in the shop for quite a few small fixes - new tv, venting issues etc) so keeping a first camp 'local' allows one to not run into a situation where one has to have an rv fixed or towed far from home - keep that in mind for your first camp of the year!
Secondly, it is just a wonderful park! I know I have blogged about it before, but it truly is gorgeous! It sits in a small, wooded park so there are never a lot of rv's which keeps the ambiance of it being a more intimate community. We find people are friendlier and more open - we've made a lot of good friends camping at this park. It also offers a great variety given its spot - it sits on a hill overlooking the ocean so you have the beach to play on and fish from, the forest offers great trails to walk on, and the park itself is on a nice even plot so the kids can ride bikes easily.
So this week I will get back into 'camping routine' - I will get our menu set, make sure the rv is all kitted out with things we need.
We have several big trips planned for this summer (a four day Fourth of July beach camp, and a 10 day Eastern Washington camp!) and of course there will be plenty of weekend getaways!
So happy to be back RV'ing! :)
Happy Camping!
