Moving!

It's something out of a tv show but we did it! The next chapter of our lives started this week in Juno beach Florida! Not far from where john and I got married and began our life together almost 17 years ago to the day.

This last week we packed our Rv ( the beach bus) from floor to ceiling with our favorite belongings. If it measured over 24 inches it wouldn't make it thru the front door and we either sold it or left it behind.

We departed our 1200 mile adventure south on Sunday morning June 15th:)

Happy Father's Day Jb. How does retirement in south Florida sound?

So packed Rv, a Rottweiler and two Chinese kids we go. About an hour from our home in Ohio we stopped for lunch. Yup! That's right we got a flat tire at the rest stop in piqua:( new tires on the car and truck were taken care of but we didn't think of our camper! 3 hour delay at Walmart getting new tires and we were back at the 2nd leg of our adventure. First night we only made it to Kentucky and we were greeted with one crappy hotel. Can you say torture? Tired and aggravated from following a camper all day at 55 mph when you know you could have been going 70-80. Ugh!!

Day 2 we noticed our dog Abby had an abscess and a fever and needed medical attention. A week prior to our trip we had her groomed and we believe she got a small cut from it causing an infection.  So another stressful delay to a veterinarians office for some antibiotics. Note that we were a hot mess and the vet was a tall attractive cowboy with boots and a buckle. That office had to think we were the Griswalds on our summer vacation. Did I mention that Lucy accidentally hit Wyatt in the head causing a big bad ugly bloody nose? Yup blood everywhere. Jb dismissing it as no big deal we completed day 2 with a messy shirt and dry blood in the back seat! 

Day 3 was a success. We only had a few close crap in a pants attacks a few emotional breakdowns during the 12 hour driving day. The only excitement we had was making a bad last minute decision to take an exit in the hood for another emergency potty break. you know your in a bad neighborhood in Jacksonville when there is a swat team of police in the gas station parking lot with helmets and body armour. While jb was haggled for money we nearly ran over a homeless lady by 2 inches. Phew, close call!  all in all we arrived in paradise Tuesday night 8pm. Wahoo!!!

Wednesday morning we unloaded our belongings into a storage shed and checked into a 4 star camp ground on the beach. Life is good! 

Stay tuned for more Brown family fun:)
