Well he IS grinning! I thought he would, but there was a little underlying anxiety nonetheless. Hope you two enjoy your first trip a whole lot, and that it's just the beginning of a terrific long term camp-o-rama! 
Best wishes, Paula

Wow - it has taken all this time for Peter to get caught up on this thread...he is still in total shock and keeps saying Holy Moly - Holy crap man do and many other little sayings he says when he is somewhat speechless.
Thanks Annie and Marvin, Carol, Paula and Shari and well just everyone wishing us well on our Anniversary.....This day certainly compares to the Wedding Day!!!!

....and a little later he starts to realize that he can go camping and has nothing to do but bring his pillow - and the anxiety starts to lift....but he could not wait until we were alone to say....I was just wondering how did you pull this off financially - my response - I didn't you did - LOL

...So then it was hook up time and a little time on our own to reflect....
Peter had the pleasure of his first gas up - but I still had the helm - he was in too much shock to take her into town yet - besides I had not got her officially home yet and that would be bad luck if I did not pull her the rest of the way home get her parked and ready for Peter to take out...
Which we have now decided since our day has taken so long we are going to driveway camp - play house and "Doctor" on the Driveway and head out first thing in the morning.
We had a bit of a tight squeeze so that we did not have to turn her around - so Peter had some raking to do and then it was a really tricky pull around the outside of the LadyBug cause the Tracker was in the way - once that was moved we had lots of room.
And now we will pack her up and just sit and admire and probably get "pennied" in the POD...
Ladies - I have now secured my lovin' for the next 25 years!!!
Although at times I was really worried at what his reaction was going to be....I have been assured that I do not have to go out and get a job - but if I would like to it would help ROFL....

......and how long does the dumbfounded affect last???
Did not take long before Peter got his tool(s) out (come on get those minds out of the gutter )
Seems we have a slit in the fresh water hose - not a big issue and very repairable but as usual with an airstream you have to be a HH to get into the spot. 
Steph the smell I smelled is wet particle board. - No damage and will probably dry over night. For now - we will just let out a few gallons of water so that it is not filled right up. Just need to pop the hose off and do a repair tape job - but not now.
Paula they would not have picked up on it because of the Hot water valve not being tightened - and I am sure they would not have filled it to the brim either like Peter did . Check out that smile girl - he loves this already!!
Anything that allows him to bring out his tools - and at least he can find a screw driver right now - which is a real bonus  (for those who don't know - we are in a chaotic mess from the winter disaster of the roof cave in of our garage. And presently building a new one - so Peter can not find any of his real tools they are all still packed away in the emergency removal boxes from the winter.
Safely on the Driveway 
Must be a man thing caught him trying to put the blind back up and almost had it all the way out to try and get it back in  
Next caught him at the desk pretending - not sure what he was pretending but it involved a nice smile 
Helium still holding strong on the aluminum balloons but the rubber ones are now long spent 
And Paula we fit just nicely even with all the curves in the mattress!!! 
OH ps - Brad Peter's first test was the Stereo!!! but I was surprised I did not hear any Queen rocking that Baby - guess I had a Cranberries CD in it still from my lunch break yesterday...
Have asked Peter to come on and post something - he is thinking still

Wow Congratulations - our Actual date is September 10th - but Peter is firing up the Arenas that week - so we usually celebrate a few weeks earlier. In fact we did have August slated to get married but then thought it would be too hot - so we pushed it back to the 10th - on the day we got married it was 106F - so much for that idea eh? We got engaged on the 9th a year earlier - did that so we could remember the Anniversaries a year in advance so that when we get to 's age we would have no worries.
