Dewbus Adventures… Take 2

This trip has been completely different from our first Adventures of the Dewbus, for those of you who followed that web site.  Our baby girl and blind dog both tend to slow us down a little… ok, a lot.  It is comical (and sad) to watch Little Dog attack the couch.   Kenzie tries to walk a little more each day, when she is not tormenting the dogs or us.  She has started shaking her head “no” quite a bit.  Makes me a little sad as I am sure she picked that up from me (same as the “what” comments).  Also, it turns out, she takes after Aunt Shelly and hates green beans.  However, I will not give up (on Shelly or Kenzie).

Kenzie sleeps in her play pen each night in between our room and the living area.  Her schedule is no longer existent.  She sleeps very little while Craig drives and to no shock, does not like being in a car seat for 5 plus hours a day.  We broke down and bought her a personal dvd player today and are hoping that helps.  Though, Dad – I am not sure the Barney dvds you bought her will help our sanity.   Her bath is in an inflatable bath tub inside our shower.  Just big enough to bathe her yet small enough to fit in shower.

We left 1 week ago from St Augustine and have stopped in Charlotte (NC), Myrtle Beach (SC), Cape Charles (VA), Clarksboro (NJ) and are currently in Newburg (NY – South of Albany).

Our second day on the road, Craig had to pull into Lowe’s and buy a piece of wood to cover the stair well.  Little Dog fell down in three or four times.  Yes, you would think he would learn but, no he is not that smart.  He is really cute, if that makes it better. In Myrtle Beach, Kenzie played in the sand – walking a little.  The ocean was full of flounder and sting rays. The NJ stay was right outside Philadelphia, PA and allowed us to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.  Not to insult any NJ friends, but most of the people were not very friendly and I was happy to be moving along. However, we are cool enough at night now to enjoy a nice fire.

While we have yet to see the famous hot pink Lipstick Bail Bonds RV we found in CA; we were able to spot a few unique ones.  The first is a semi truck front that has two slide outs.  The second is called the Rotel Tour Bus from NY (carrying a German group).  One side is full of bunk beds (had to have 20-30 people that got off and ate dinner at our campground.  The other side has a tent like cover that pops out some.  I could not get better pictures as we looked odd trying to and had our two dogs plus baby so not the easiest to go up and just talk with them.

Two of the parks we stayed in had lazy rivers.  Craig and I also took turns going down some big water park slides – reminded me of being a kid and going to Wild Waters every summer with my brothers baseball teams. Craig loved it, I think he must have gone three times.  He tried to take Kenzie down a small slide but the lifeguard would not allow him.  They said she can go by herself but not with Craig.  We just laughed.  She will have to experience it another day.  Another place we took a cab to eat at Greg Norman’s Australian Grill and walked along the water. Kenzie caught a really big catch that day.


Week 1 went well as we wrapped it up with 1200 miles and still having 2 adults, 1 baby, 2 dogs and a Dewbus,.  Amazingly, all parties mentioned were the same exact as the starting ones.  Impressive, if I do say so myself.   We will do another count next week as numbers are subject to change at any time…

And we are on to the next place… Orchard Beach, Maine to meet up with Dave & Terri McBroom from Jax, FL who are there in their motorhome.  Amazingly, they left 4 days after us and are arriving same day as us.  What a difference a child makes haha.
