We remember well what it was like moving with all of our things in pretty much one place. Only now, all of our things are in one place and they're moving all the time!
When we checked into the Capital City KOA in Topeka, one of the events was fireworks on June 29th and 30th. Got to the 29th and scratch the "and 30th" part, so we went 'over the hill' and watched the festivities. It was something. Basically, the camp had given one of the locals who sold fireworks in town a place to shoot off his wares to a captive audience. Everyone got a "shoot sheet", and our host introduced each rocket that went off. "That was Spunky Monkey. Next, we're going to do some Sparkling Twirlers. Remember, bring in your shoot sheet for 10% off your order of anything you see here tonight...." It was kind of similar to waiting for the community's fireworks to go off, and you're looking at the neighborhood's personal fireworks display in the meantime.
Saturday was the longest packing day ever. It was so blazing hot, we set records the last 5 days we were in Topeka for heat. Awful. But, we got things taken care of and were on the road Sunday (early for us) headed for Iowa. Enjoyed our time there, can't see us spending a month there again.
