Not just any toy box, but a big boy's toy box. As you can see by the picture, my 34' trailer looks small in the doorway. What you can't see is that there is another large travel trailer, a back hoe, and 3 big sailboats inside as well. A grown man's dream!
It's been a great place to wait out our time on the Canadian side. We have fields around us and a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. It is so close to shopping areas (ie Costco and Home Depot) and near to my siblings. We've spent the time here doing maintenance on the trailer and visiting family.
I had the pleasure of rust-painting the front hitch, propane beds and all. And parts of me as well. Hubby has been fixing and caulking and packing.
Figuring out where everything goes is the toughest part. We seem to have lots of cupboard space, thank goodness, but not much outside storage. This means tools and cleaning equipment for the exterior need to be stored alongside the blankets and dishes.
And we still have camping equipment to put somewhere. We are planning to find places to go hiking and canoeing, and of course, fishing. What? Sit on the beach beside the ocean? No, not us! We gotta go find aligators (no grizzly bears down south, I'm told) and mountains and wild places to visit. In this, our mid-life crisis adventure, I made the mistake telling my hubby to take me "out of my comfort zone". Silly man does take me literally. Wouldn't mind the odd time IN the comfort zone.
Actually, I really can't complain. We do have tickets to see the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasedena, and are making plans to see real touristy stuff like Graceland in Memphis. We will be leaving on our second phase of travels the middle of November. Good thing the furnace works like a charm. Fingers are crossed that we don't get much in the way of snow before then.
