Day #1 Recap
Today we left home and headed to Lebanon, PA (not far from Hershey PA). We got out a tiny bit later than we wanted, but when you are leaving home for 2 weeks, you can't just rush out. Clothing needs to be packed, food needs to be prepared, sporting equipment needs to be chosen etc etc. 6 people for 10 days = 60 pairs of underpants. That's a lot of underpants. Ilana quarterbacked the packing effort, and did an amazing job. The only thing we seem to have forgotten are plastic table cloths, so all in all I'd say she did really well.Driving the RV was pretty easy once I got off local streets. On the highway, changing lanes was a bit of a challenge, but I got the hang of it once we spent a little more time on the highway. The drive is also pretty smooth. Ilana was tired, so she actually went into the master bedroom for a nap while I pounded out 100 miles.
We got to the RV park a little later than we wanted and it was after dark, so honestly I have no idea what the outside looks like. We'll try to get some pictures in the morning. I had a bit of trouble with the water hookup (no poop cleaning just yet), but got it sorted out pretty quickly. Apparently, the Fetzer valve doesn't connect to the Johnson rod as would typically be expected, or else I would have gotten it right the first time.
The RV is really nice. It's pretty spacious, has central air, 4 satellite TVs, shower, bathroom and sleeps 11. It's designed really well, and we're eating and sleeping really comfortably.
So far no meltdowns (kids or adult).
One of Ilanas favorite parts of the RV is that once something is in the RV, it's in. We don't have to pack and repack.
We're exhausted, and going to sleep.

Going upstate for Visiting Day...I wonder if I can rent an RV for the trip...you sure make it look tempting!
Super enjoyable watching you unload the toilet waste. Good job
Awesome website! Great Posts!
Did you already sell the rights to your reality tv show? Looking forward to the next episode...
Your trip looks a lot more exciting than mine.
What fun!
I'm not sure who is having more fun - your web site has me laughing out
loud! That pool sure looks inviting - it's in the mid 90's here.
Can't wait for more.
Love, Aunt Chana

Mo,
So tell me how much coffee & gas cost over there,
Do you want Coffee I’m going to the store.
Uncle Mordechai...I was hoping for some good spilling as you were unloading the "waste"...I just have one question...where are the cards?

Good Shabbos!
Where are you!
We waited and waited and you and the dear grandchildren didn't show! We were so disappointed!I never knew that there are frum balbatish people in Cincinnati, Cleveland yes, but who do we know in Cincinnati?Did they serve chicken soup with kneidlach or (feh) vegetable soup on shabbos?Chulent or (feh) baked beans?I don't know why you don't come home! Love mommy

1. You guys should do this more often- it gives the Feldmans something to talk about with our Shabbos guests
2. I look forward to a thorough review of all the Walmarts from here to Illinois
3. Your backyard is doing just fine

Mo,
Here your coffee.
