This past week we traveled here and there blah blah blah:
And then we saw something or other yadda yadda yadda.
Ok, so now that we’re all caught up, the big news of the week is that we got a new (used) RV this weekend. It’s a 2002 32′ Fleetwood Southwind. It’s in excellent shape on the outside and feels inexplicably new on the inside. Only ~18,800 miles. And brand new tires. It was one of those deals that we just couldn’t pass up:
It has a couple slide-outs, so we’ll be able to stretch our long, long legs a bit more:
At 32′ it’s just 3 feet longer than our current RV. Again, more room but still manageable.

We’ll be sad to say goodbye to our trusty Coachman Leprechaun — it’s been a great RV — but we’re pretty excited about moving into the new rig later this week (the dealer is doing one last inspection of all of the systems and giving it a thorough cleaning).
RV’s aside, there were other highlights from the week. Here are a few in no particular order.
We’ve been in Gilroy CA, which as every American knows, is the garlic capitol of the world. When you’re here, you know why: the whole town smells like garlic! Not in a bad way either; this place smells delicious.
Yet another random coffeehouse where I did my work for the day:
As well as another random library. Why did I ever rent an office in Indy when there were perfectly good libraries??
It’s been getting a little chilly in the mornings. Here’s Natalie warming up in front of the vent she affectionately calls “heat-y.”
Feels like Halloween in the Fall, not Christmas in the Winter!
I had to work, but Amy and the girls took a side trip 20 miles away or so to Pinnacles National Monument:
I love the way all of the hills around here look at sunset:
Our 5 star accommodations one night last week: A camping world parking lot.
It was a great week, but between work and RV stuff, it was a total blur — hence this blog post being a little more scattered than usual. My work is winding down for the year, so I’m looking forward to spending even more quality time with my family. The first thing we’re going to do when we move into the new RV is a little Christmas decorating (we made sure we brought some Christmas lights from home! 🙂
