Our last vacation day... returned haRVey bright and early, the kids and I spent the afternoon poolside at the Mandalay Bay while Damon rouletted his way out of some hard earned cash. We had some tasty burgers at The Burger Bar, and let Tyler & Damon ride the roller coaster at New York New York. Finding our way back in to civilization via Las Vegas has been interesting.
In closing, I'd like to leave you with our family generated top ten list from the week:
Top Ten Things we learned about vacationing in an RV
10. Anything that is not tied down, locked away or sitting in the sink while the RV is moving will, at some point, be flying through the RV.
9. (Tyler) When spending more than 5 hours at a time in the man cave I must open the curtains before the funk gets too bad.
8. (Sydney) Sleeping where the dining room table gets set up really sucks around breakfast time
7. Having a bathroom on board means that Damon is hte weak link when we travel.
6. (Tyler) It is harder to pee standing up while moving than I thought.
5. When the manufacturer sayd 8-10 mpg, they mean downhill with the wind at your back.
4. Going down switchbacks with a 14% grade in a 31' RV is very different from doing the same thing in a car. And not in a good way.
3. Driving through the most glorious scenery in the US does not make teenage texting any less important.
2. While the back bedroom is the most comfortable place to be while moving, you spend much more time in the air than on the bed.
1. And the number one thing we learned... getting there truly is half the fun!
