It's a bit chilly, but we are working our way south. Our main goal was to not be below freezing over night. We made it to Black River Falls, WI and stayed at a truck stop. It was a bit cold, but we gained 5 degrees in temperature from home! So that's a plus. Our goal today is to just keep getting farther south. We'll see how far we get.
The kitties are doing great traveling. Curly spends most of the driving time on one of our laps. Zoe lays in the middle of the floor somewhere. Lucy walks around, but is often in one of our laps and Pickles hides under the table. We'll see how much that changes when they get more used to it and it gets warmer.

We finally have the patches and fixes done in the RV. Of course in the meantime it decided to not only get very cold for fall, but snow too. We are waiting on a package that should come today, then we'll be basically set to go. We're leaving in the morning tomorrow since we'll have to drive quite a bit in order to get someplace where we won't freeze for the night. Once we're on the road, we'll start updating more frequently.

So, our hope was to leave very soon. Last night we tested the water in the RV. Half filled the tank and ran water through the faucet. The main goal of this was to see if the lights worked (this RV has a gauge that lights up to show us how much water is in the tank) and to see if it was stinky or gross. Instead of this simple test, we ended up finding leaks everywhere. From the piping coming from the hot water heater (which we're now going to take out since we'll never use it anyway) to the hose hookup outside, to the stupid cheapy faucet.
This RV has been nothing but trouble... Hopefully once this is fixed, that will be the end of it. *crosses fingers*

Yep, we're pretty boring. We've mostly been sitting at home working on the game and Joe has been working hard on getting the Toyota RV fixed up and ready to get on the road. We'll even be taking it into town sometime this week to get new tires and the futon mattress for the bed.
The plan is to leave by mid-October. It's later than we wanted to leave since it's getting cold, but there wasn't a way to head out earlier. We haven't been east at all, so the tentative plan is to head east towards Florida. Once we leave we'll start updating the blog on a regular basis again.

We drove down to the Twin Cities on Sunday since Jenny's flight was leaving from there on Monday. We wanted to do something fun for her last day and a half. We ended up going to the Como Zoo. It was packed, but lots of fun. I took a lot of photos. I'll post some here.
We then stayed at the Radisson down there that is by the Mall of America. They have on of the largest indoor water parks. That was loads of fun. Lots of great slides. The next day we had some time before her flight, so we spent time in the Mall, which Jenny enjoyed.
She is now back in Utah and will be heading to San Fransisco for school soon. Hopefully all goes well!
