Leaving Town...

May 23, 2013

Dear Family & Friends,

We have changed our summer plans 3 times but finally I feel confident that our plans won't change (much).  So here it is!

June, July & August we have rented a house in Petersburg, Alaska. The plan is to go fishing, catch up with friends, enjoy 4th of July weekend's FISHERMAN'S GAMES and shop for a property to buy. We are taking our beloved RV, that we named Big O', on the ferry from Bellingham, WA May 31st and arriving in Petersburg 49 hours later. 

Today we finished packing Big O' and we hit the road at 1 PM.  The plan is to drive to Anacortes, Washington over the next 3 - 4 days.  Once we are there we hope so see a few friends and family, get our boating stuff out of storage (in case you haven't heard we sold our boat last November), stock up on basics at Cotsco before catching the Ferry at 7pm May 31st. Then it is a 2 day and one hour ferry ride up to Petersburg, Alaska. Cabins for the ferry were sold out so we are planning on overtaking a bench or something...?

You may not know but two years ago when we visited Petersburg we made an offer on a piece of waterfront land but things didn't work out.  We hope to find a property we like and purchase it this summer while we are there.  If all goes well it will be our summer house and it will have a few extra rooms so we could run a little bed & breakfast...

If you want to visit us this summer, we would love to see you and show you around.  Let us know if you are coming and we can recommend our favorite bed & breakfasts.

Before leaving NM, Gage leaned into some wet paint on a door jam.

Rob not wanting to be outdone went blue.  He was sawing on my blue yoga brick. (Smurf or Braveheart?)

Can you guess what he did with my Yoga brick?  Also notice the footrest he made to protect Gage from the exhaust!

Yes! He made a seat and foot rests for both our Trials Bikes.

Gage was being so patient waiting for us to finish packing...
