Turkey Swamp with Little Swamp and No Turkeys

Day 2 - 259 miles

I'm half way across the universe! Well, as far as my knitting is concerned. I'm knitting the Northern Hemisphere night sky as a shawl. Why? Because. If I knew how to knit on the last RV trip, all of you reading this blog right now would be wearing a hat and scarf set from me.

Anyway, about our trip...

We woke up at 6:00am because our boys do not know the meaning of 'vacation' or 'sleeping in' or 'whisper so everyone else sleeping will not wake up.' Having woken up so early, we had second breakfast which consisted of ice cream and beef jerky. You should try it sometime.

The highlight of our day was a trip to the Pez Museum and Factory in Connecticut. Don't let the name museum fool you. It was more of a really cool Pez store. But it is the only Pez factory in North America and we got the low down on the history of Pez and how they're made. We also walked out with $25 of Pez for $9. I love a good bargain.

Where were these when we were in Japan, Dan & Ken?

We're in Turkey Swamp State Park in New Jersey for the night. I forgot to pack bowls for the soup we're suppose to eat tonight and the water hook up is 20 feet from the electric hook up. This means we can either have running water (good for drinking, flushing the toilet, etc.) or electricity (good for lights and charging iPods and computers) but not both. We chose electric because really, who needs to drink? But making sure you have your tunes is critical. Does this qualify for roughing it? No? Well, because we didn't check our water levels before leaving, Princess Git Er Done and Bo are having to fill up the water tank manually with a blender carafe and a ziploc bag as a funnel. How about now?

The night ended well anyway with a dinner of tacos in a bag. The family thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of eating out of a bag. I'm not sure what this says about us.

On the way to the camp site we passed a Wegmans so already I'm excited for tomorrow's leg of the trip. I might even score a bubble tea.
