    We removed the dinette that was here, a and put in an inexpensive desk and chair combo for my office, much like what we did in our winter rig. I’ll probably end up replacing the chair soon, but the desk is pretty good.

    A monitor, stand, and a few other things are coming this week, which will make this a lot more comfortable. Either way, this is already a big step up from sitting at the dinette in the travel camper!

    Welp, we just bought a third camper. It will remain on our seasonal lot in Vermont. It’s a 2014, 32′ with a slide. It will be a better fit for the summer months when we are not traveling so much.

    We now have a big summer camper in VT, a huge Winter camper in TX, and a small travel camper for the shoulder seasons when we tend to do most of our travel.

    Blog post with a detailed breakdown coming soon!

    The deck is technically assembled now. It will look a bit less trashy when we paint it all a uniform color, and somehow finish the edges.

    Made some progress on the deck setup today. The campground had a couple spare decks sitting around, so we ended up using those, and the palettes for support. Picking up some things to make it nicer, such as paint, now.

    Chilling in Vergennes this morning. Love these little towns.

    Our spot in Vermont is nice, but our lot is in…rough shape. The last owner had a deck on this spot for decades and as a result our lot is mostly raw mud.

    Going to build up a cheap little deck to get us up to level with our camper and place some gravel to cover up the mud, I think.

    10 miles from today’s stop, and we realized that it was just another 200 to our destination in Vermont. We said screw it, let’s go today. And so we went. Vermont, here I come!

    We leave for Vermont this weekend. I’m both excited to move on and still somehow thinking “it’s too soon” to leave OBX. It’s been 6 weeks now. I think it will never be enough time.

    But, we have lots of fun travel ahead – we’re going all the way up into Newfoundland and Labrador next month(!!)

    Welp, our land offer was not good enough, apparently. we lost on terms (again). I hate this feeling so much, and it keeps happening. You spend so much time and energy just…choosing the place, only to have it ripped away by a cash buyer. I hate purchasing real-estate so, so much.

    At least we’re starting to see new options crop up. Maybe we’ll have more luck in the future.

    Today’s a travel day. We’re leaving Virginia Beach and going south again for a bit. We discovered that our seasonal in Vermont wasn’t going to be available for another month so we decided to buy some time on the outer banks ????.
