It's been an adventure thus far. Yesterday Ken ran into a tree branch and broke off the passenger side mirror which is as big as Oprah's butt. That should cost several race entries.
Last night we slept by the gorgeous Arkansas River in Salida, Colorado.
This morning I emptied the toilet. I laid a few good ones in there:
This morning I also took a beautiful six mile run from the RV park into town. Running cures all.
We drove and drove today until we got to the amazingly scenic town of Ouray. We are at 7,600 feet, surrounded by towering peaks and other RVers. Quite an interesting yet friendly and colorful crowd. We went to dinner tonight in town at a Mexican restaurant. Sam dripped fajita juice on his Bolder Boulder race shirt. Ken said, "Wow, looks like when mom gets the shits while running":
Tomorrow we are off to Gunnison, CO. It is close quarters, but there is something very sweet about having your whole family within an arm's reach.
HAH! I figured out you could fit half a bottle of white in the Solo Red Cup on my last vacation. I think the red cup adds classiness + a hint of awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteLOL - the shirt is too funny. Your RV'ing vacation sounds like fun. It might not be something you will do every year - but you are making some fun memories for the kids.
ReplyDeleteHeading out for 8 x 400's.
Enjoy
sounds like its quite the adventure...keep on RV'ing!!
ReplyDeleteCLASSIC stainage on the shirt. I don't think I could handle emptying the toilet... I guess you got that job since you're the one who filled it up. ;)
ReplyDeleteDid you eat at Buen Tiempo?? That's one of my favorite places in Ouray. Did you know that there is a bathing suit optional hot springs just outside of Ouray? It's called Orvis. My mom's friend took me there when I was little. I pointed and laughed at every naked man I saw. Noone has ever brought me back...
ReplyDeleteFirst thing that comes to mind when I think of an RV vacation is Griswold Family Christmas. haha. "Shitter is full"
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having a wonderful time with your fam!
I love Ouray! Did you go swimming??
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I love camping.
ReplyDeletethat location looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWish I enjoyed camping/rv-ing.
Looks fantastic! Much jealous.
ReplyDeleteThe RV taking a dump. The t-shirt taking a dump. I see a theme here. It's no wonder I was thinking of you on Sunday when I got caught out on a run with no loos in sight.
ReplyDeletediscussing the hefty dump you left in your rv made my day. you rock
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you can do it. I am not a camper or an RV'r. When my daughter asks why we don't camp I say because mommy can make reservations ;) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteoh, i never thought about having to empty the toilet. maybe i don't want an RV.
ReplyDeleteI got beat to it...but the first thing I thought of was "Shitters Full" from Christmas Vaca!
ReplyDeleteYou're excited enough for both of your kids in that first picture.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having fun in the RV.
I think I'm going to start using race entries as a form of monetary measurement. "how much did that case of beer cost?" "just a 5K, not too bad"
ive spent years of my life in an RV! BY FAR my best childhoos memories were traveling in the Mottie (my slang for motor home) with my mom, dad and sis. how nice you all got to do that together! oh i miss those days!!
