  • what tiktok didn’t tell us: everyone does launch on sundays! try to find a random time during the week/workday if you can
  • zoomies tip jar: become a rookie meteorologist and always be prepared for rain (stake things down, cover things up, or be ready to move things into a dry area before it starts raining. And keep your awning pitched or pulled in!)
    • use a silicon cover like this on your blackstone grill: https://amzn.to/48ld3pJ 
  • 10 weeks in- what do we know now that we wish we’d known then? 
    • 🏎️ It will go by so fast!
    • 📋 Don’t wait for it to feel “settled” or “normal”
    • 😱 The things you worry about aren’t the things that will actually be the problem, so be prepared but also be adaptible and ready to roll with the punches
    • 🐢 Slow is smooth and smooth is fast (stop trying to beat your time and do everything fast)
    • 🧹 You’ll have more daily chores than you think.
    • 👯 It’s not as easy to make neighbor/campground friends as you’d think
    • 💰 More stuff you’ll need to buy for the camper - you never run out of things to buy (winter stuff, catio, internet options)
    • 🧰 You’ll find a good mechanic, and a close one!
    • 🍿 You’ll eat out less than you think!
    • 😂 Don’t overestimate the size of space in your car for packing things 
    • 💍 Brittany is more ready for marriage than you think! 
  • Pet Drama Report: Levi has rough tummy issues, and Britt is not equipped to wake up in the middle of the night, even for five minutes. Shout out to all the parents in the world.

•Random Question of the week: Vehicle names? (Rory - the truck, and Lorelai- the camper!)
