Aug 3rd - We SOLD OUR RV!! We decided to sell the RV to a dealer - Campers World. Since it did not sell on the private market, after several months, and since the price of gas was going up significantly, and since we didn't want to store it again over the winter, we took a lower price and sold it to the dealer. $102,000 wasn't bad. We still owed $80,000 on it. And after owning it for 4 years, going to 163 RV camps and 516 travel nights, 46 States, 27 National Parks, and numerous State Parks, we decided that it was time to sell the RV and explore other types of travelling. We did travel around the US --across the north, down the west coast, the southwest coast, the southern coasts and the eastern coasts--north and south, and a lot of the area along those routes. Then we also did a trip straight across the center of the US (sort of) ending in Utah, and circling back again along a southerly route. So, we have seen al of of the US. It doesn't mean we are done with traveling -- just on long trips with the RV. We loved our travels in the RV, and now its time to move on. Still - it was a hard decision.
Aug 6th - Sturbridge Village was having their annual Revolutionary War re-enactment weekend. Peter wanted to go and do some Lafayette tour networking, so we went for the day. The village is a living museum of the 1834 era, with ongoing trades people. The history is very interesting, but the war re-enactment is not my thing.
Aug 13th - Anica's birthday celebration--Tamara's family, Claire & Ian, Anica's family and Scott & Amy & Adelle came to our condo to celebrate. It was really nice having us all get together again (even though we just saw them all at Tamara's wedding, a mere month ago). We went golf-ball hunting in our field across from the golf course (they found 10 balls --some of which were planted by their hosts, who had collected them over the past few months). The kids loved it. We played board games, and had a nice birthday dinner, with fresh corn on the cob. Yum.
Aug 14th - For our daily walk, we decided to go back over to the Westville Dam trail. Nice day, and a nice 2 mile hike around the dammed up lake.
Aug 27 - We met up at Claire's house, along with Anica and Mike with his dump truck, to clean out Claire's basement. It had flooded a couple times, due to a problem with the sump pump. So all of the stuff in the basement was moldy and smelled. So we dumped all of it (actually, we put it in Mike's dump truck, who then took it to the dump). We sanitized and cleaned the basement --what a difference. We took the scenic route home, and stopped for ice cream in Barre, and at the lake at Rutland State Park.
