~ Our new 'Little Home' ~

Today, I'd like to show you our new 'little home'. 
Not to confused with the trendy 'tiny houses'.
As many of you know, we are gearing up for retirement.
I have to smile because some of my dearest friends have confused our 'retirement' with us slowing down.
Nothing like that will be happening to us.
We have no intention of 'slowing down'.

Simply, we are changing gears. 
Entering a new season of our lives.

Our desire is to take blocks of time throughout the year, plan trips and have adventures in new places, and see new things; learn new things, hike new trails, walk new paths.
Fish new lakes, photograph new landscapes...
 The above picture is when the dealership was putting the new hitch, sway bar, etc. on our Yukon, and leveling the trailer.
This is not our first RV.
We've had several travel trailers in the past, and even a motorhome.
It's been a few years now since we've had a travel trailer though, and boy have things changed... for the better!
 Slide outs are awesome and sure increase the usable interior space. We have two slide outs. 
One is for the dining area, and the other is for the Master Bedroom wardrobe closets.
 Intentionally, we bought a travel trailer for a couple. We certainly didn't need nor want a bunkhouse, as it will be just the two of us traveling together.
We looked for a floor plan that had a separate large Master Bedroom. 
Although we have one large bedroom, the dining table will make into an extra bed, if we take our Grand with us :)
 It even has a heated mattress... what a comfy bonus!!
 Large flat screen, sound bar, blue tooth, and indoor speakers, as well as outdoor speakers, will make things very comfortable and enjoyable when we're on the road.

It's the first RV we've ever had that also has a microwave.. yay!
The bathroom is massive (for an RV) and has a double shower, though I neglected to get a picture of that for this posting.
The trailer has A/C and is WIFI ready and also is wired for solar panels.
It's the fanciest travel trailer that we've ever owned and we are humbled by this blessing and opportunity we have in this season of our lives.
We may end up living in our travel trailer for a bit, as we sell our home, and transition to a new home, so the fact that this travel trailer is very comfortably equipped will make that experience that much nicer and a smoother transition for us.
 Our travel trailer is made by Forest River, and it is a Rockwood Mini Lite model.
I think it's just 25 feet long and weighs under 5 thousand pounds. 
My sweet husband reports that it is very easy to tow.
