Christmas time is here!

I do love Christmas!  The music, the decorations, the lights, the warmth of people.  Celebrating our Savior's birth!

I know it will be a pain to put these away
every time we move but it's worth it!
We did save some decorations when we downsized (the little ones?!) to possibly use in the motorhome.  So we're having fun putting those out (singing carols while doing it of course!).  We are at South Jetty TT near Florence.  Another great Thousand Trails and we managed a spot with all our home amenities (wifi, 4g, satellite, and over-the-air channels).  In a beautiful setting with not too much rain!

We gave our big baby a bath yesterday (for the first time - long over due!).  We're figuring this out but I think the baby shampoo to vinegar to water ratio was a bit off (too much shampoo!).  It looks better but, well, next time we'll do better!

I have been complaining that our RV GPS is "stupid".  Meaning it routes us in weird ways that make no sense.  Yesterday it wanted us to drive back to I5, head south, then come back to the coast instead of going south on 101 which is what we planned to do (it's only an hour south!).  But it wanted us to take 3-4 hours instead!  We discovered about 50 minutes into our drive why it wanted to do that.  It thought there was an 11.5' tunnel clearance and we started to panic when it finally told us what was ahead.  We are 12.5' tall!  So we pulled over, unhooked the car and drove ahead to discover the tunnel was actually 14.5' tall (but to be fair, the sides, were 11.5!).

Highlights:  Getting things done!  Video published, Trimetric battery monitor installed, November finances recapped, Christmas decor, more route planning, laundry.  Been a busy day!

Lowlights:   GPS stress!!

What we're wondering:  Should we pick up the pace to get south faster?  Four nights at a place?  or Two?  We decided on two this time because it's supposed to rain Sunday so we'll leave when it's nicer on Saturday!
