The BIG city!

Folks, life is good!  I miss the scenery of the desert, but I welcome the proximity of services.  

One of our favorite places from way back - during our undergraduate days at ASU - is Haji Baba - please don't judge them by their website - they are a local treasure.  First day list of things to do...#1 - eat at Haji Baba.  They have a great little grocery store as well.  Go there if you are in Tempe, AZ. You will be happy because it is awesome...and don't forget to try the baklava.  

Here is our spot - you will notice the severe lack of shade...

We are close to the pool!  The kids love it and we are happy to have an outdoor activity close at hand.


I did laundry last night, it was poorly lit so no pictures, but the facility was very clean and close!


The logo for the Apache Palms RV Park includes two palm trees...maybe it's those..?  There may be a third or fourth tree among the RVs, but lack of shade is my main criticism.  My second criticism is that they advertise free WiFi, but it is not nearly sufficient to meet our demand.  We have been unable to stream anything for the past three days.  I am using it now, but it is spotty and keeps losing connection.  

On the plus side there is a light rail station immediately in front of the park and we are in the middle of Tempe close to everything.  As an example, we had many choices regarding schools for brother.  We are happy with our choice.  Today was his first day of third grade and he had a very positive experience!  We did try a distance learning program at the end of second grade, but with both of us working we needed to return to the traditional setting.  Also, it's a great way to make friends in a new place.  

Our spot here is only available until mid November so I have been looking for other options to get us through the academic year.  When school is out, our cross-country adventure begins...more on that later!
