Seyenna Vistas

So we moved to Seyenna Vistas today.  It was our best move yet in terms of how efficient we were at packing it all up and leaving.  It took us about 1.5 hours to hit the road this AM.  It's a gated mobile home community and it has separate facilities for the RV'ers and manufactured home residents which is interesting.  We have access to a pool, club house, fitness center with showers, and a very nice laundry room (I'll post pictures after I use it for the first time).  Our spot is huge and we back up to a green belt.  We have to park far back in the lot for the water, electric, and sewer connections.

There is a small playground that is not up AZ's usual standards but looks like the playgrounds I grew up with in MI.  Still in operation are a swing set and some slides.  There is a place for a tire swing with no tire...despite the elderly quality of the place there were other kids and Brother and Sister had a good time.  The playground is also located at the end of the dirt path pictured above, so we don't have to walk on the road to get there.  A playground is pretty rare amenity for RV parks in AZ, so I feel pretty fortunate to have found this one at a reasonable price.

Speaking of price we paid $3050 to lease the spot for a year, that works out to about $250/month year-round or $300 for the 9 months we will be using it.  I was uncomfortable at M & M in March and was glad to leave early.  Our official lease here begins in April and they gave us the rest of March free.  Also, the front desk staff are so friendly and helpful, which is a very nice change from our previous parks.  Thankfully I had called the electric company well ahead of time and had our power turned on.  That worked out well because we had to run the A/C during the middle of the day.  In the evening it cooled off and I realized we have shade on our outdoor space so I grilled out and we had a picnic.  Finally the kids have lots of room to run around without having to worry about traffic.  They had a blast kicking a ball and chasing each other while I set up our outdoor space.

In the evening we went for a nice walk to check out the neighborhood and figure out where the closest dumpster is.  There are some very nice RVs here, there are also some older ones.  We saw many kids. I saw a cool tiny house too.  On the downside we are in the path of the airport and the jets fly over regularly.  On the other hand, the sunsets are beautiful with the jet streams.

Tomorrow we will explore the club house and laundry a bit more and maybe even use the fitness center!  Because we know this is where we will be for a while we can also get our mail here, which will be convenient as we have been using a PO Box.  Finally, we are thinking of getting high-speed internet which would be absolutely wonderful - the hotspot internet is working, but slowly and not always reliably (though we do manage to keep up with our Netflix shows).  All in all it is a good feeling to know where we will be parked and where we will return to after our adventure.
