Our Last Trip as Weekenders

We're back from our Winnebago outing in unbearably hot Chico. Check out Bullwinkle's Travels for details and evidence of the extreme heat.

It was sad saying so long to our fellow Chardonnay Travelers. We all vowed to stay in touch and look forward to seeing them somewhere down the road. They are a great group of people. We're so glad to know them. 

The weekend away was just what we needed. It was a welcome break before the scramble of our final week in our house. We got lots of great sleep, which we desperately needed, and wonderful support from our Winnie friends.

As we packed up and headed home this morning, we were very mindful that this was our last trip as "weekenders". The next time we leave a campground, we won't be headed home. Instead, we'll be leaving for another campground!  As we pulled Bullwinkle into the storage facility for the last time, we smiled at the the thought of never again having to squeeze through the entry gate or drive over countless speed bumps to get to our spot. I stopped in the storage office and got everything set up for us to vacate the place on Friday. We can't wait. 

It's Sunday, and our second to the last trash night. It'll be a big one! We have dinner scheduled with friends, then we'll be filling the extra space in our neighbors' bins. 

I have a feeling our plans for tonight are a precursor to the week: many farewell meals with friends, in between dumping the final loads of our stuff. 

It should be some kind of week. Then, we'll be "weekenders" no more!
