The next adventure.....

This is what adventure looks like to the Johnson girls.  :)  Notice Gabi in the background.....

Getting ready to go on vacation is just exhausting, even for retirees and their furry kids.

We picked up the fifth wheel on Wednesday and started the loading process.  That is a tiring process, even in the best of weather..... but the last couple of days have hovered just over 100 degrees.  And humid!  UGH.  Of course, all of that hot weather brewed up a pretty intense line of thunderstorms yesterday afternoon.  Now normally, storms don't bother me much, but when there is a very expensive truck and fifth wheel sitting in the driveway, I start to fret a bit.

So Max jockeyed the Terrain around in our two car garage, to move it to the side of the garage behind where the trailer is parked.  He moved it around INSIDE the garage, NOT by backing it into the driveway (as it was occupied!) and then pulling back in the other stall.  You would realize what a feat that was if you could see our garage.  It isn't one big opening, but two smaller openings.

Anyway, once he got the Terrain moved over, we were able to diagonally park the truck on the "small side" of the garage.  Whew!  Of course, we only got a little bit of the rain and no hail after all that, but better safe and dent free!  :)

So after a day and half of loading, we set the alarm at 5am to get started this morning.  Sheesh.  I'm here to tell you that retired people should NOT have to get up to a 5am alarm clock.  It is just wrong.  :)

We were hooked up and on the road by 6:30 this morning.... meeting up with our friends in Augusta for the drive.  So where are we headed?  To Table Rock Lake, of course!  Gotta get in some floating time over the next week or so.

So now you know why the girls are so worn out.......
