A quick weekend get away

Hi there everyone,

Well, I thought it would be nice to be somewhat spontaneous and surprise Carol with a weekend getaway for the two of us. Of course, because Carol and I are both 'Gainfully' employed, being spontaneous is a little hard to do. So, I have to plan and try to make the outing as spontaneous as possible. I started by making reservations at the West Sacramento KOA for the weekend. I got the Ok from my boss to come in early and leave early on Friday. I left work at noon and headed to Safeway to do some grocery shopping.

When I got home, I found that Rosie had re-decorated the house once again. It's becoming a daily ritual to find 'Rosie Fallout' when I get home everyday. Ah the joy of having a new doggie addition in the house-hold. :-)

At any rate, I got the motor home on the road at around 2:30 PM. I arrived at the West Sacramento KOA at 4:00 PM which gave me an hour to get the Motor home set up for Carol's arrival from work around 5:15 PM. We had a very nice evening dining on Bar-b-que'd chicken, Black beans and Cauliflower. We topped the evening off with sitting by the fire outside. A practically perfect evening in every way.

Saturday, we hung out close to camp for the majority of the day. We took the dogs to the KOA park dog park for a couple of runs and then took a walk to the neighborhood Starbucks for a couple of Yummy drinks. We topped off the evening with dinner at Applebee's and getting some 'Pet supplies' at the nearby 'Petsmart'. We're going to try a Kong filled with Peanut butter to see if that keeps Rosie occupied so that she doesn't tear the house apart while we are at work on Monday. Rosie has separation anxiety when we go to work each day. We know she will grow out of this phase, but we want to minimize the damage until she does.

Sunday morning we had to get a much earlier start than I had thought we initially would, but Carol had a lunch date on Sunday, so we had to head for home pretty early.

After we got home, while Carol was gone, I got a couple of loads of laundry done, a modification done to the step ladder on the back of the moho, Worked on cleaning up a neighbors Single wide mobile home for them, I gave our three dogs each baths and now I am getting the blog updated. :-) So, it's a busy Sunday for me.

It's just really nice to know that at the drop of a hat, home doesn't have to be 'At Home' if we don't want it to be. We're both looking forward to our next trip which will be later this month. Carol hasn't told me what the plan is yet, but I'm game for what ever she has planned. :-)

Happy camping! - Eric and Carol Anderson -
