We decided to go to the warmest place in Arizona since it was January. Tucson it was. They have cool caves that we have wanted to explore. We also decided to just stay in an RV park since it was our first time. We pulled up about 8pm and everything went smoothly. We parked, hooked everything up, and the kids were ecstatic. We celebrated Brooklyn's birthday and had a great night of sleep. The next day, we went exploring in the caves. It was pretty neat! The only problem is that you couldn't touch anything! Any form of human oil or food or liquid could deteriorate the caverns, and these people really wanted to keep it safe! For a 2 year old, that is almost impossible. So Travis took on the task of keeping Isla. He did break the rule, and he snuck in 3 gummy worms. Those worms were life savers. He used every centimeter of them, ripping them apart to keep Isla sane. After the caves, we hung out in the camper and relaxed. Then Avery and I went on a hike. It was fun! Now to the fun part of the story. The camping errors. Remember, we are first time campers over here!
Camping error #1: Musicgate 2017. Remember, we are camping in Tucson in an RV park (old people central). We were really excited to make our first dinner in our kitchen. We had the music playing, we chose Coldplay because its good chill out music. For some reason, it just wasn't playing very loud inside, it almost sounded muffled. Oh well. After about 30 or so minutes, we got a knock on our door. It was the campsite host. When I opened the door, I realized that I could finally here Coldplay loud and clear. Well, we accidentally had the music on the mode where it plays outside instead of inside. We were blasting Coldplay pretty loud. The old people weren't too excited about it, and about 5 different camps complained to the guy. We were the rowdy ones. Oops! But come on people, its not like we were blasting Eminem. And it was like 8pm. Relax!
Camping Error #2: Propane much? After one good night and day camping, Travis realized that the heater wasn't working along with other things in the camper. He played around with everything, but it wasn't going on. We had to sleep that night without heat. It was freezing! Like 30 degrees! I'm so happy we had warm sleeping bags. Apparently we ran out of propane in one of the tanks, and it didn't switch over to the other tank or we didn't switch it over. We seriously don't know what we are doing! But like I said, we all survived! It was almost like we were tent camping vs luxury trailer camping!
Camping Error #3: Guess the liquid. The next morning, after freezing our butts off, we were packing up, getting ready to go. We got another knock on our door. Dreading the visitor, we opened the door to find our trusty camp host again. He said that he got more complaints from our neighbors saying that our camper was leaking something. We are pretty sure it was just water, but you never know! Travis solved the problem, and everything was good. That was our second offense to those around us. Sorry people, we are rookies! Also, you can just come and tell us, you don't have to tattle!
We learned a lot from our first time. We still have a lot to learn. The RV world is a very different world. I almost feel like we need to read RV's for dummies!
After we left, we went to Old Tucson. This is where lots of old west films were filmed. They also had live old western acts. It was pretty cool!
The train conductor
their future for sure
But they will find a way to bust out
