I just have a hard time finding things to do after about 4 days parked in one spot and we are not full timers.
Thanks

This is not the "GOLDEN-YEARS", it is the "RUSTY-YEARS" !
We work about 10 hours each in the campground and volunteer two days a week at the local VA hospital while spending the winter in TX. That gives us plenty of time to be retired!

Do household chores, quilt, go sightseeing, watch a DVD, read, work on the computer, pet the cats, go for a walk.. What do you do in your house? Same stuff in the RV, with the addition of the sightseeing.
We're part-timing now, loving our cabin (fifthwheel) on the lake/at the beach/in the mountains/close to the city.
Are you retired? What do you do at home? We full time for 5 months and at home for 7 months. Our plans are to sell s & b home and full time starting May 2010 after we help son build a house.
We both exercise at home daily and while on the road. We like to ride bikes, walk and hike. DH is learning to play guitar, I do needle work. We are avid readers, country western dancers, internet junkies. We do what we do at home but in beautiful settings. We find areas that we like and stay longer (month or more). We plan on traveling more as fulltimers. Twelve months to wander and discover new areas.
Life is so enjoyable when your not spending time cleaning and doing yardwork.

What do you folks do to during the day/evening?

Well, get out of the park!!!!
We never spend much time in a park - that's where we sleep, have breakfast and/or dinner, do laundry, housework (all 30 minutes a week) and then we leave. We spend the time SEEING the area. We geocache, so we really get to see a lot of an area by finding geocaches that local people put out in there favorite spots. We also visit local museums, parks, etc. When in an area with one, we spend a lot of time in the National Parks - a real treasure of this country that are free to those over 62 (once you get your $10 (for life) senior pass).
If all we did is sit in a park, then you're correct, we'd be bored, but that isn't the case.

Tell us more about what you do when you are at home and we'll have a better idea what YOU would do on the road. If you aren't retired already that takes alittle adjusting too.
We don't sightsee every day, sometimes we just do regular day to day stuff like watch TV, pay bills online, email friends, plan future activities, routine maintenance, exercise, call friends and family, wash and wax the motorhome and car, talk to the cats, go for a walk, the list is literally endless.

Before you give someone a piece of your mind, make sure you can get by with what's left.
It sounds like you're having a little of the same problem we have and that's making the transition to LIVING in the RV from VACATIONING in the RV. We tend to treat our several month long trips as vacations where you want to do touristy type things every day instead of LIVE in general where you don't always do touristy type things. We tend to get bored after a week or so in the same location which is why we don't STAY in one place for much longer than that. When we head south for the winter we have a kind of "route" that we take which encompasses a bunch of our favorite places and we stay a week or so in each one rather than making a bee-line for one spot to sit out the winter. I guess it's all in how you TREAT it

We have enough YOUTH...how about a fountain of SMART
Maybe you're parking in the wrong places We like to hike, geocache, visit museums, old ghost towns, jeep and forest roads and really old Churches/Cemeteries/Monasteries, we also do the country/western dance thing etc. (just a few examples of things to do)
When we're not doing those type things, we do normal things that people in a stick/brick would do, i.e., laundry, grocery shopping, reading etc., we're just doing it in really nice places not in a subdivision looking at the boob tube or other boring neighbors caught up in a rut doing the same things day in and day out.
Get out and do some exploring. Think of fun things to do.
I think sometimes we forget that the freedoms we have are freedoms not because of celebrities. The freedoms are because of ordinary people who did extraordinary things, who loved this country more than life itself.
