Vacation
This was our first trip with our new RV. (new to us) We love it.; Taking it on this first trip, though, was an adventure. First, it cost us $400 for a hitch to pull it behind the SUV. Then, after we left Tyler, we had a flat on the car (a screw). Got that fixed. After crossing the Ark line, on the interstate, we had a flat on the RV and Randy discovered the new-looking tires were weather cracked. By the time he had the flat fixed and we were ready to go, the battery on the car was dead. There we were, broken down on the interstate shoulder, miles from nowhere. Finally, someone stopped and jumped us off, but before we could get to a tire place, we had another flat. This time we limped to a gas station and unhooked.
We zoomed to Walmart, but their repair department was closed. Randy explained our situation and begged for them to help. They sold and mounted us two tires. We were so thankful. (First, thing the next day Randy drove to Hot Springs and replaced all the tires and a spare.) After the tires were mounted, we drove to the RV park. It was wonderful. We headed straight for the pool.l After that, we drove back to town and ate.
The part was so nice. We spent the next day at Magic Springs. (Mostly the water park) The next day we rode go-carts, and bumper boats. The high-light of the day was a fabulous steak house. The food was to die for. The park had a train-ride for the boys around the camp and a candy hunt with flashlights in the dark. We swam every night in the pool, roasted weinners and ate smores, played farkle by lantern, and watched DVDs in the camper.
