Our Camper Home

Note: This was drafted in mid-December and I never posted it.  So, it is not current but I decided to go ahead and post it anyway!  More recent news soon ...
Here is finally a glimpse into life in our camper ... that's right, our camper.  We are currently staying in a fifth wheel camper at a campground in Gloucester Point, Virginia.  We are still hoping to buy a nine acre piece of property here in Gloucester but it won't be finalized until mid-January.  So here we are in the mean time!  It's small for two adults and two young kids, but do-able, with only brief moments of extreme frustration!  It's helped the weather has been nice enough to let us go outside most days.  Hopefully by the time we get really done with this, we will be ready to move!

Our camper has a small living area, which includes a pull-out couch (where Tyler and I sleep), a small cabinet, and currently a Christmas tree!  There is a dining area with a small built-in bench and table, and a kitchen area with a small fridge/freezer, stove, microwave, sink, and cabinets.  There is a bathroom with toilet, shower, and sink - although very small!  And a separate bedroom.  This used to have a queen bed in it, but we took that out to make room for Esther's toddler mattress and Jesse's pack and play.  Not too bad.  The hardest thing, I think, is that the bathroom is right by where the kids sleep.  So all early morning trips wake up Jesse, who wakes up Esther.  ; ) 

Here are some pictures of the camper, and of us playing outside on the campground.  I will say, being stuck in a camper is made better by being on a campground with a park, laundry facility, river, etc ...
