Look Honey, I'm Camping!: October 2016

Anniversary Weekend at Mohegan Sun Casino, Poconos

David was supposed to head to Harrisburg in the RV to meet old friends for a bike trip on our anniversary weekend (Sept 15). I had a few obligations so I was cool with it. Last minute, his plans & my plans cancelled so we hopped in the RV- with Keiki & Paulie this time - and headed to the Poconos. We didn’t make reservations anywhere but we found out we could park in the Casino lot for free. We had such a great time. It was out second trip with the cats. Keiki is doing great but Paulie stays under the seat while we’re in motion. Once we stop moving, he’s back to his old self again. Dave & I had some great meals – Thanks Ruth’s Chris! It turned out to be a wonderful weekend.

Cape May

The weekend of August 12 we went to visit our friends Terry & Anne in Cape May. We parked in their driveway but had our first RV mishap. We opened the gate to the driveway to back in. After a few minutes getting settled in, we realized that the outlet we needed to plug into was closer to the street. I got out of the car to assist in directing David and he started to drive forward. Next thing I know, he gets up to pull the antenna down thinking he’s so smart for remembering. Slight problem… he’s still in drive. My first instinct was to run in front of the RV to try to stop it but fortunately I thought that through and decided against it. Long story short, RV looks fine, gate needs replacing. Luckily our friends really love us! (Dave left some cash on the table as we left; hopefully, it covers it. Woops!).

Dewey / Rehobeth

Our next trip to the beach was terrific. We visited with my in-laws and even took the RV to Broadkill Beach where we were able to park right at the beach entrance and bring my mother-in law’s dog Duncan.

We met up with friends Richard & Susan from Haymarket, VA and watched the sunset off Tower Road.

Next we headed to Bottle & Cork (July 29,2016) where I also ran into my friend Christie who I worked with back in the day. We danced all night to the Legwarmers 80’s cover band – totally RAD!!!

My nephew's son LUKE loved "driving."

4th of July Weekend in Maine

We decided to take a long weekend for the holiday and head back up to Maine to visit our friends. We left the cats home with a friend and started our journey July 1^st.

On the way to Portland, we stopped in Wells for our first Maine lobster roll at Mike’s Clam Shack & Fish Market. Totally YUMMY!

Soon after lunch we hit Kennebunkport where we pulled off to take in the scenery.

Next we hit Portland where we spent time with our friends Paula & Sandy – parked in the driveway of their new home a couple of nights. We went to Scales for dinner where David got his second lobster roll. What can I say? Philly can’t make a Maine roll like Maine can. We went to the park where Paula & Sandy were married. It was a fantastic visit!

From there, we headed further north to see Matt & Karen. They recently bought a home on 4.5 acres of waterfront property. Words can’t begin to describe how perfect the location was. We had such a fantastic time. Talk about a perfect place for Cornhole!
