I cooked the jambalaya on the stovetop along with a can of spinach. Everything was wonderful. My wife came out to eat with us.
This evening also gave me a chance to check out the curtains and how well they can be seen through at night. Fortunately, you can't see through them. Nice and private.
After dinner, I got a movie going on the laptop. At some point during this process, my daughter moved into a bunkend and went to sleep.
It's a little hard to see her since the light there was not so good.
My daughter's friend and I pressed on and watched the 2nd Twilight movie. He had to catch me up one who folks were and such throughout the movie but didn't seem to mind.
This is a rotten shot but it's the only one I took.
Another blurry shot of the stove in action. Man, not much cabinet space in these things!
I know it's hard to see but that bottle in the above 2 pics is olive oil, not booze. We finished the movie and got the lights off around 12:15pm. I pushed my daughter over and laid out my sleeping bag on the bunkend. Her friend was on the other side. The temp on the AC read 72 degrees. I tried to take a picture but it came out too blurry to read. As you can see, I stink at taking photos in low light because you have to hold the camera still longer.
All in all a great success!
Lessons learned:
get sheets and light blankets for summer camping. Even with the AC, I thought that the sleeping bag was too much. We'll wait until cooler weather in the fall to break those out again.
get a mat of some type to put under the AC unit. The AC left dirt and black marks on the counter top where it sat.
attach a power strip near the table to plug in laptops easier
turn down the temp in the fridge. The next morning, the water bottles I put in the fridge door the night before were completely frozen.
I made a nice list of supplies that need to be stored in Frostbite all the time like trash bags, paper towels, etc
remember to remove the stupid sink drain so that we can brush teeth, wash dishes, etc.
get DVD software reinstalled on my laptop. I installed a new OS and lost the player I had. We had to use my daughter's laptop to watch the movie.
keep dishrags in the galley to wipe things down when cooking.
get a set of plastic containers to store leftovers in the fridge and keep them in Frostbite all the time
get a mat of some type for the entry way into Frostbite. Even just in the driveway, things kept being tracked in.
