Day Whatever


After Disney, we were on the road for two days. The first night we were in Savannah, GA.  We decided to borrow a DVD and watch a movie that night. When we turned on the lights, the camper was swarming with tiny gnats. Then the campsite lost power so we couldn't use the air conditioning. It was almost enough to send us to a hotel room. But we killed the gnats with windex, stuffed toilet paper in the screen gaps and made the best of it.

The second night, we ended up at a KOA in Charlotte, NC. Since it was close to a residential neighborhood, the next morning, we unhitched the van and spent the morning hitting some yard sales. We scored a couple of cd's for the road: the Eagles, Tom Petty and Elton John. After loading up the RV, we moved on to our next stop.

We stopped for two days at Camp Uncle Danny near Winston-Salem, NC. This was a fun stop as we had a bonfire, a marshmallow roast, grilled pizzas, sleeping out in tents and a fun excursion to a Greek festival. And we got to hang with some cool people too! We really liked this camp and it was not just because they fed us cheesecake.

We got on our way early Monday morning, taking one of my favorite routes north - through the Shenandoah Valley. It is really just some gorgeous country out there.

Here are some pictures we took. Please excuse the iPod photography.

Which of these is not like the other?

Tonight we are at a KOA in Luray, VA up in the mountains eating grilled cheese on Aunt Michele's English muffin bread. It's beautiful and quiet here. Well, except for our free-range boys.
