Our first official day as full timers

Today is our first official day as full-time RVers.  Although we have been staying in the coach for the last two weeks while we packed up the house, it really didn't feel official until last night when we turned in the keys and left with the last two car-loads of 'stuff'. Those days of working all day and packing the house at night and heading to the coach just to sleep are thankfully behind us.

Are we crazy to give up 2000 sq feet for a 40ft motorhome with 2 slides?  We'll let you know.  We both still have our full time jobs, so we aren't traditional full-timers in the sense that we can't just go exploring as we would like.   What we realized however, was that when we were in the RV, we hated to go home.  The only parts of the house were were using was the kitchen, family room and bedroom.  We had all that in the coach.  Our lease was up, and we couldn't another house we really liked, so we decided to just go for it.  If we hate it, we'll find another house, but not really worried about that.

All I can tell you is that today has been soooooo relaxing.  We're on a beautiful private lot.  It's quiet and peaceful and it has been a great day doing all the 'setltling in' things and putting the last of things away.  The best part is, we didn't have to go home after a great Sunday in the RV.  We were already home!
