Fins To The Left

Jimmy Buffett came to town last Saturday for his annual concert @ Verizon Music Center.  We love to go to his concerts and  always have such a good time.  This year his theme was Under The Big Top.

We attended this year with our fellow Parrotthead and friend Debbie.  She was introduced to his concerts last year and could not wait to attend.  (A Parrotthead is is a commonly used nickname for fans of Jimmy Buffett. "Parakeets" is the term used for younger fans)

It's a lot of fun to check out all the folks that attend.  This years concert was much earlier in the season and it was very chilly.  But, it did not seem to stop the fun. Most people party in the parking lot prior to the concert.  It's not unusual to see cheeseburgers being grilled and margarita's whirling in blenders powered by cigarette lighters.  Here are a few parrottheads playing corn hole.

Cars are often decorated for the event.

Parrottheads come in all shapes, sizes, and ages.  Here is our favorite couple in matching coconut bras.

So, if you have not ever attended a Jimmy Buffett concert, be sure to add it to your bucket list. 

Reflections after 14 days as a full-timer

We have now been full-timing for fourteen days.  Here are a few things that we have learned so far about the differences of living in a stick and brick home vs. a motorhome.

• Getting ready in the morning takes more coordination
• You are much more aware of weather
• You have to pay more attention to some services that  you never really thought about before such as running water, flushing toilets, sewer
• Friendships are easier to make in the campground.  It is much more social than in a neighborhood
• The fantastic fan really is fantastic J
• You are a lot more active taking long walks with Jimmy in the campground.  (Jimmy loves all the new smells and attention from other campers)
• Cleaning our home is so much faster
• You have to be more organized and tidy
• You can get your wash done a lot faster at a laundry mat
• I miss the dishwasher
• We still like each other living in 350 square feet
