Here we are on it's maiden journey with Graham pulling forward so we could see it "set" as the tow equipment fell into proper place. Test drive completed and towed the car to the RV park and unhitched!
Whew! Another item on the checklist complete!!

The next big step - check!
We feel so official now! Not only do we have our tow car but now it's connected!!! Thanks to Graham and his superior tow equipment selection and installation. This is a whole new world for us as we have never towed a car. So much to remember and scared we'll mess something up! Hopefully we'll be pros in no time!

It's FINALLY here!!! For one of us at least!
Today is Pat's last day at the Post Office and we're so excited! Can't believe how long we've been dreaming of this day and it's finally here! Time to celebrate!
I went down to Pat's work where he was presented with a certificate and his co-workers went all out with a cute cake and a mickey chair and "cooler" with drinks so he could sit and watch them case the mail (as he was often teasing them he would!).
Great group of folks that he will miss (but not the work!!).

It was meant to be!!!
We FINALLY have our tow car! And it's the perfect color - maroon to match one of the swirls on the motorhome!
Low miles (28k) and the last year that Honda CRV's can be flat towed (2014). We got it last Friday and we are thoroughly enjoying it! Next step: getting it ready to tow!

| My sis said it's hitched up backwards... :) |
We are waiting, waiting...
We were having trouble posting this back awhile so here it is finally (was originally for the weekend of Oct 14-15)...
We are still at Tri-Mountain RV Park in Ridgefield, WA waiting for our retirement date(s)!
Today was our first windstorm in the motorhome. But it wasn't a big storm (here at least) - a lot of wind and rain (and a little shakin' goin' on).
We are fighting fruit flies (we think that's what they are)! Can't seem to get rid of them. We just read about sewer flies (ewww, really?). Just in case we did the boiling water down the drains trick. And fruit fly traps. But they are still here. Dag nab annoying.
Still looking for the tow car. Haven't found that magic combination of year, mileage, model, price and NOT BLACK!! Currently top on our list is 2014 Honda CRV EX-L with low miles.
