Winter Excursion 10, Day 40

No breakfast sandwiches this morning. Instead We just had eggs, sausage, and hash browns thanks to me!
We spent the morning cleaning up the camper and putting stuff away. We left camp around 1130 and headed to the Kid's house. Wesley wanted to be back home before the Bills game starts.
Brian and I finished up the Holiday decorations. Here's a few pics I took after dark.


After dinner Cath and I headed back to camp. If's been a fun weekend, but we are taking the day off tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 39

We were super happy this morning that Wesley is here. He made his World Famous Breakfast Sandwiches for us this morning.

As usual they were fantastic or as the saying goes nowadays, they were Fabuloso with Lysol!
Wesley shared his golf course designing skills with me.
He has a few more holes to complete, but so far he could be the next Seth Raynor.
We were camper bound all day as the weather is terrible. Cribbage was the happening thing all afternoon. Cath Won!
We did sneak out to EVO Pizzeria for dinner. It was fantastic as usual.
Wes and I watched a great College Football game until almost midnight. Then is was bedtime. It's been a fun day!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 38

We spent the morning in camp cleaning up and doing a few camp maintenance chores.
Around noon we left camp for the Kid's house. Cath got started on her cookies!
The Kiddos got home from school around 1530. We left with Wesley around 1700 and drove back to camp. Wes is spending the weekend with us. Kennedy is busy with baby sitting and Girl Scouts. We will take Wes back on Sunday.
The weather is lousy, rainy, foggy, and temps in the 50s. YUK! Looks like we will be camper bound all weekend!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 37

This morning we shopped for the supplies Cath needs for her Christmas Cookies. She plans on making 10 different cookies. I'll do my best to get some pics once she starts.
We dropped off the supplies at the Kid's house and then took the long way back to the camper. We drove up to Buck Hall (one of our favorite CGs) and then through Francis Marion National Forest to RT 41. We were amazed at how built up RT 41 is. Last year many of the stores, apartments, and businesses were not even there!
Back at camp we had a nice dinner, watched some TV, and buttoned down the hatches as rain is forecast for the next three days.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 36

We drove to Edisto Beach this morning to visit our friends Jerry & Carolyn. They are camped in the forest side of the State Park. We all yakked it up for awhile and then headed to McConkey's Jungle Shack. The food was great!
We all took a drive to some of our favorite locations. We picked up some shrimp dip and scored some apple butter at Kink's Farm.
Our friends will be leaving the area in a few days. We will see them again in April at Dames Ferry.
Got a few pics along the way of some of the painted turtles. They are all over the area.

I even got one of this copper frog!
We left for our camper around 1530 and got home by 1700. We beat the traffic, it was all going the other way.
We had a nice dinner, watched some TV, and did a little online shopping.
All is well in the Boss Camp.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 35

We woke up to a steady rain and our campsite was flooded with close to two inches of standing water. It finally stopped raining around 1300. 
We headed to the Kids and Kiddos' house around 1400 and released the hounds from their kennel when we arrived. They were happy.
Wesley got home at 1530 and asked if I was ready to take him to his game at 1700. I told him the game was not until 1900! He was a little upset because he would have stayed at school for his newspaper club if he had remembered when the game was!
We all went to the game around 1845. It was a blowout, but on the wrong side.
Cath and I got back to the camper around 2100 and crawled into bed shortly thereafter.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 34

We left the Kid's house this morning at 0630 as the cleaning team is showing up at 0700.
After five nights away from the camper all was well except the propane tank had emptied keeping the heater on! We switched over to the other tank and got the place warmed up again. We did crawl back into bed and slept until almost 1000!
We spent the rest of the day doing a few projects in the camper. Our kitchen island was turned into our magnet location.
Those two squares on the island are exactly 24 X 24 inches. I found a couple of magnet boards on Amazon and they fit perfectly. We have been collecting the magnets since we started our Winter Trips 10 years ago and use to display in our other camper. It was fun to try to remember all the places and campgrounds we have visited. There is even a little room at the bottom for more magnet adventures!
I forgot to mention that during this past holiday weekend Wesley has become quite the cribbage player. He is having tournaments with Cath, Brian, and I and gives us a run for our money.
