China doesn’t travel well in an RV. It’s kind of like a bouncy castle back there whilst hauling.
There are a whole lot of plastic and what we used to have for camping (I'm thinking Melmac that was lightweight, unbreakable and lasted forever). I don't know if they still exist but there must be something equivalent. No one brings fine china camping but unless it is simply not wanting to wash dishes one doesn't have to get so far down on the social list as to use paper. Using paper for some things is fine but steak? Not cool! If anyone finds out, you might be banned from the elite camping groups.

We have melamine dishes that look like enamel on steel campfire ware, but our steak knives are very sharp Cutco knives and would destroy the dishware.

We use the “nicer” dishes all the time (I wash at least three sinkfuls of dishes daily) but I’m not willing to wreck my cool looking dishes.

C’mon, how cool are these?

Jays have an off day. We may or may not have time to swim.

Might be a good time to start watching The Flight Attendant Season 2.
Quoting myself here.

Nope, we met a lovely couple who were out walking their cairn terrier. They stopped to chat for almost an hour.

Daisy acted like the big old scaredy cat that she is. Poor Maggie so wanted to just play for a few minutes.

Did you? Mets were off. I started and watched the first 5 episodes of Only Murders in the Building Season 2. Grand old fun. Mets play the Yankees the next two nights though so I will probably finish on Thursday.

This thing has been a Godsend. We fill it each morning with spring water and ice and fill our cups all day long.

No need to open and close the fridge. No wasted water bottles. Aside from using paper plates once in a while, we really do do our best to reduce our waste.

One of our grey tank valves is stuck, so we went to an RV repair place. We may need them to come out, assuming the warranty will cover it. If not, we’ll let the dealership fix it when we get back. We have two grey tanks, so it’s not situation critical … it’s situation PITA.

While we were out, we hit the Tanger Outlets. It was a ZOO! Mike got a pair of flip flops for the shower house, and I bought a sundress at Old Navy and some mini cookies for Mike. I’ve tried no less than 20 times to get the pic to load, and it just will not, so you’ll have to take my word for it. Cupcake flavour (looks like birthday cake) and PB Choc. Chip.

I thought all of the Disney Stores closed. Maybe just in Canada. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey Bestie, remember these? 60% off.
They only had fluffy sizes, so I didn’t get one.

Also, apropos of nothing, Old Navy sizing is totally different down here. At home, I am a Small; occasionally a Medium.

Here, I am an Extra Small; Small if it’s too short, or that’s all they have … which begs the question - what do legitimate Small and Extra Small women wear?!?

So when the Queen stops by for lunch you have to have that set scratch free. Seem to me that those things took a lot of beating when my parents used them. What did you do buy the cheaper line?;)

Girls department.

My mom in her last several years was very tiny. When she needed new clothes (by this time she was wearing only “comfy” things like tshirts, fleece jackets and sweatpants), I took her to the kids department and bought size 14 or XL
