Day 150. January 3, 2014. New camper!

It was really cold in the morning.  I had left my dirty dishes outside, soaking in soapy water overnight.  I found the dishpan frozen with ice!  I can't complain, though, as we talked with friends in Rochester who told us that the high for Monday is 13 below and they have already canceled school there.

We drove westward through Mobile, then Pascagoula, MS.  Big shipyards and ports.  We found a lovely place to eat lunch in a cute little town called Ocean Springs.  

We arrived in Gulfport, MS where we had planned to stay.  We stopped at an RV store that we had seen online, with an intent to just look.  BUT.... We ended up buying a new camper!!  It is so cute.  It is a 2012 Airlstream  22 foot Bambi ( in case you want to look at pics online).  We will trade in our Aliner.  It was such a whirlwind.  We will stay here a few days while they prepare it, and to mount a new bike rack on it.  We are staying in a national forest.  By the time we got to the campsite, it was pitch black and hard to park the camper.  People seem very friendly.  Two different couples came over to help us by shining flashlights and directing George when he backed up.  

Photos of new camper tomorrow!
