Two Weeks at Home

 

And have they ever been busy, fun things like visiting with family, we had lunch with my brother Rod and SIL Kathy, Edd,our oldest son drove up from Victoria for an afternoon (Megan was sick), Corey the youngest son  brought granddaughter Rylin for a visit. Grandson Colton came and stayed for a few days.We went to Gabriola Island for dinner with our middle son, Stuart and his girl friend Tanya.

The weather hasn’t been very good, Saturday and Sunday were lovely, but we are back to rain showers again this week. We did mange to get out in the garden a couple of days, but we have hardly made a dent in our overgrown weedy garden.  I cleaned the  inside of the motorhome so we are ready to go when the mood strikes us.

It seems odd to be home, I guess because of the weather,it is hard to get into a routine.

When we are travelling we don’t keep the exact records that some of our friends do, but we do save our gas receipts and keep track of our mileage and any campground fees .

So after 180 days away from home,   we drove  5,097 miles

We spent  $2308.62 for gas for the motorhome.

                $ 487.93 for  gas for the tracker.

               $ 322.41 for propane        

We boon docked   155 days,

Paid        $325.00 for 25 days in campgrounds.                                 

That is a total of $3443.00  for gas and accommodation. We are so glad we got the solar system last year.

We are already talking about next winter, we’d would  really like to try Mexico, we would stay in Rv parks and we are not sure if that is feasible with three dogs. Lots to think about.
