PACKING UP AND HEADING OUT

Well we are almost at the end of our season here at the Parks - the gates close Saturday Oct 1 at 11:00 am. Whoo. Behind us are 160 days straight days of working between the two of us. So now we have the task of packing up - moving from 400 sq ft into 135 sq ft which I know sounds like moving from small to smaller. It is!

One thing about the way we live is that we have learned to live efficiently! Derek and I are good with that but a 2 1/2 year old toddler? - not so much. It is not just what she needs - or will want now - but what to bring for the next 6 months! And really - how did someone so young accumulate so so many stuffed animals!

Here is our trailer now! It won't look like this for long. Over the years I have certainly learned a lot about packing our travel trailer - I always always bring too much! Not this year - I am making a real effort to make sure we have just enough but not too much.

Thankfully our trailer is quite roomy for it's length and has a lot of storage. Living in a small space like this means that everything has to have a place behind a door. It is the only way to make it feel as large as possible. I have no idea why but we spend a lot of our time everyday cleaning the trailer.


Last year - having given up my closest - the best closet - to Cassia (the things a mother will do for her child knows no bounds) I took the worst closet for myself. Well - not this year. I figure that since Derek wears two outfits the whole time we are gone that he should have to be in the 8" wide space.

On that note I bid adieu to you and you and you. It is late and I must to go to bed. We lose our internet tomorrow which is a good thing with so much packing and cleaning to do. I will pick this blog up again once we are on the road and can get wifi or OPI.
