INTRODUCING: The Bees' RV

We are Mr. & Mrs. B, but most folks know us as Denise & Chuck Bennorth. We are photographers who fell in love a few years back, and are looking forward to retirement, now that Chuck has given his notice at work. 

Chuck has about a month left at his job as an IT business analyst, and I have been retired from teaching elementary school for six years now. Photography is our shared passion, and sometimes we get paid to do what we love. Mostly, we just have fun taking pictures of friends, family, flora, and fauna. 

Chuck and I  just sold our home, and nearly everything we own, to live full-time in an RV (a 2020 Coachmen Brookstone 310rl, to be specific). 2020/2021 have been interesting times to be trying to get a house on the market, and move into an RV. Between the global pandemic (COVID-19), quarantining at home, fixing up the house, working with our realtor, Chuck's working from home, and currently, experiencing a polar vortex, it's been stressful, to say the least. 

Chuck and I met on Facebook, in one of those "silver singles" groups, and got married a couple of months after that. While living in Chicagoland, we've spent our time between Illinois and Utah because that's where our kids and grandkids are. Utah will be our home base, where we plan to boondock (camp in free areas, like Bureau of Land Management land), visit national parks (Utah boasts FIVE of them), and see our kids and family.

This was the bitter cold day Aunt Bee made her maiden journey home. 

My blog was known as Randomocity for a long time, but with this big change, I've rebranded it; The Bees' RV. We have a truck named Bumble, and our RV is Aunt Bee, and my dog is Bristol. Lots of bees buzzing around here! 

Here's the Bees: Chuck, Sami, Bristol, and Denise

Are we crazy? The jury is still out, but if you are considering  the full-time RV life, you may want to avoid doing it during a polar vortex, while trying to sell your house, and trying to work from home. Life is hectic and busy for everyone; there's just no sense in trying to set any records for making it any more crazy than it has to be.
