Off Grid!

We've spent the last 2 weeks in a little campground up the St. Joe River. We don't have any hook-ups, no cell service, and obviously no Internet. It's been pretty interesting! We are loving the quiet (we're currently the only people there except for the camp hosts), and we have the perfect campsite - full sun for our solar panel but a big shade tree for the rest of the site. There are lots of biting bugs unfortunately, but we have a screen room set up with the boys' pool inside. The days where the temps have been high 90's are a little rough, but we are loving it (and the $6/day rate is pretty nice too!).

We had planned to leave last Monday but decided to stay another week and use up our "14 day max stay" but today they told us we could stay as long as we want since they haven't been busy at all...we might just stay for a while longer!

On the house situation...the inspection wasn't great (siding needs to be replaced, some plumbing issues, and LOTS of minor issues that we will need to address), so we submitted an addendum asking for a lower purchase price + the bank paying for our closing costs. We just heard today that they will accept $1k over what we offered in the addendum so we're happy with that! Still hoping to close on the 24th but we're not sure if that will be possible or not.

So, since I currently have Internet, massive photo dump coming up!
