Go RV-ing

Don't you love those commercials about seeing the country in an RV? I do. They make it look like such fun. Even to a non-camper, non-outdoorsy chick like me. My husband loves the outdoors. So does my Mom. Maybe that gene skips a generation? I want a hotel. OK, I take that back...I want, at the very least, a campground with hot and cold running water, showers, toilets and built in grills. None of that Coleman lantern and portable stove crap. NO sleeping bags on the ground with the bugs. But an RV or travel trailer would be acceptable. So the 3 of us went to the RV show last weekend. Do you know that you can get a pretty cool travel trailer for under 25k? And a 10 year loan would only make your payments about $230 a month! Ahhhh, but then reality sets in ~ how will tow it, how much are the campgrounds, hook ups, etc. Where will you store it, how much extra $$ in gas will you use, how much is insurance...But if you don't worry about any of those until after the show, it's a lot of fun!

We also went to the new concert hall in town. They had an open house. It's a beautiful building. It only seats 1600 people, it's within walking distance AND we have season tickets to the Great American Songbook series! I can't wait! During the open house, they have different choral groups and bands and the symphony playing on stage, so you could get a feel for the acoustics of the place ~ which were amazing by the way. It was a 2 day event. Who would have thought that THOUSANDS of people would want to check it out?!?!?! I'm glad it's going to be so successful for our little berg, but holy bananas! We went at 3:00 and even though it only seats 1600, there had to have been 3 times that many people there. It was nuts! Now I'm looking forward to the first show even more!

Bill went back to work yesterday. Hallelujah! He's really going to need a hobby when he retires...and a part time job for sure. I love being around him most of the time, just not ALL of the time. Anyway, he was pretty pooped out at the end of the day. I suspect he'll be pretty pooped out all week. But I bet by the end of the week, he'll be glad to be back on the job.

Here's the new Pallidium;
