Park Play RV Park
On Saturday, Jan. 21st, we were all up at 6:30 or soon after. Today was the first day of the RVLife RV Show/2023. 😊 Of course, the first day(s) are crazy, packed with other rv’ers, like us, who just like to get in on the early action. Crowds like this don’t bother us, we have easy exits and our feet on the ground.
We were out before the sun popped up
over the mountain range
The day
started out cool, around 37F/3C, but with a clear blue sky. Since were up
earlier, I caught a different view of the east sky at 7 when I took Gibbs out
for our short walk around the park. We dressed for the weather and were in the
parking lot at 8:10, nice and close to the entrance. After walking through a few Grand Design
Solitudes, we entered the Big Tent at 9 when the ‘gates’ opened.

Bill and
I found a couple of things and Nancy and I picked up a few of the freebies
offered by vendors. The best part was the sampling of the dips at the spice
venue. I accepted 2 packets of pretzels in order to finish them all. I didn’t
buy any but I sure found some that I really liked. I had to follow Nancy’s lead
to take some pictures, I’m usually too busy looking at everything, she was my
reminder.

We left
the tent shortly after 11 and headed for home. By now, the temperature had
improved considerably. Still not shorts and tanks weather but near the
forecasted 55F/13C. 
The decision to buy or not?
He did 😃

Bill and I had lunch, I finished my quesadilla, and I went to the puzzle. Between 1 and 3, Nancy, Adele, Robert, Susan and I had it finished so I walked back for my tea. We read our books until 5:30 when I started preparing supper.

We did buy!

Tonight,
we had boiled potatoes, asparagus for me and corn for Bill. I had liver and 1
pork chop in the freezer so thawed them both. I fried the liver and air fried
the chop for Bill. Supper was good and although it left a lot of pans to hand
wash, it was a good meal. Nancy brought us over some Costco ice cream bars this
afternoon so that was dessert. Yum, they are good! We watched some tv while I
worked on my blog.

The only thing in common tonight was potatoes

Good night!
Another good day and we were happy to visit the show. I’m sure we’ll go back one more time. 😉 Thank you for popping in.
That was a fun trip to the tent. I might have to go back again! LOL
ReplyDeleteI know we will go another day.
DeleteThe table will certainly come in handy in the gazebo. I can see meals taken out there - especially when the weather improves.
ReplyDeleteThe table will come in handy -yes, the weather has to warm up a bit. :)
DeleteGlad you all enjoyed the first day at the Big Tent. Nice to have someone to remind you to take pictures I never think of it either like you I am to busy looking at everything. Nice table for you gazebo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb.
DeleteYou netted a good purchase at the show with that table! I can see you now in the gazebo doing puzzles and painting rocks.

DeleteNice table, I'm sure you will get a lot of use out of it!
