The first day of a trip is always a bit hectic. Making sure you have everything you need (That was a bit tricky for this trip!), getting out of the house on time and oh by the way don't forget your passport (Canada, eh) and yesterday was no exception! Searched for over 45 minutes for mine, I just had it for Geneva, where could it be? Turns out I packed it weeks ago with the important stuff and we already had it in the RV, thanks for finding it Troy!
Troy's goal was to have us leave the house at 10:30 AM and make it to Louisville Kentucky to camp for the night. Well we pulled out of the driveway at 1:15 PM (Took me a bit to pack up my scrapbook supplies, not that Troy or my brother understands this since "it is just paper and stickers", how dare they! We pull out of the drive and it seemed like we were dragging the Jeep instead of pulling the Jeep, sure thing, we pulled over in a near by parking lot and the steering wheel was locked, oops! So we fixed that and we were finally truly ready to hit the road. The dogs had a bit of a rough time adjusting to the RV (they are doing much better today) and honestly we did too, not as easy as driving our Jeep!
We made it 317 miles on day 1 to Carrollton, Kentucky, the Wal-Mart parking lot to be exact. Might as well start the trip out in true RV Style - Thank you Wal-Mart!
Tomorrow: Graceland and Heartbreak Hotel RV Park
