The Beast

June 27, 2010. On the Road - finally. After receiving instruction on our new RV and moving from our travel trailer over to the RV on Saturday, we were finally ready to get on the road on Sunday. Somehow last minute tasks like laundry and getting some food and learning to hook up the car took longer than we had thought and it was after 2:00 before we knew it. We were anxious to hit the road, however, so decided to just drive down to Sarasota, just an hour or so away. Just as we were ready to pull out, however, huge thunder storms and torrential rains began. I was a bit nervous about my first drive being in storms and rain, and we almost chickened out, but eventually decided to go for it. So, at about 3:00, nine days late, we pulled out of Lazydays in a new Winnebego Sightseer (now named "The Beast" by our family), with a 2007 Honda CRV in tow. It was the right decision! This thing is a house on wheels! Anyways, the rains continued and it was a little hairy but we made it to Sarasota and spent our first night in The Beast at a nice little RV park not too far off the 75.
