Winter Excursion 10, Day 24

We got back to the camper this morning around 0930. Grabbed showers and headed to the commissary for some supplies. The Kiddos are spending the weekend with us! 
Around 1600 we drove back to Mt Pleasant for Wesley's basketball game. It was a good game, but they lost in the last few minutes.
After the game we all headed to the pizza joint, then we headed back to camp with the Kiddos.
We had not told the Kids or Kiddos that we have a new camper. I wish I had a pic of the look on their faces when they walked inside. It even took a minute for them to realize it was a new camper.
We watched a movie and everyone finally fell asleep around 2330.
It's been a long fun day.
BTW: here's the first pic of the camper for this year's blog! I had not posted any before in case the Kids or Kiddos saw it on the blog.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 23

We got all the windows in the camper cleaned inside and out. Some of the smears and smudges had been there for awhile. We also got all the bugs off the front cap that had accumulated during our drive down south.
We left for the Kids and Kiddo's house around 1500.
We had another nice dinner with them and then watched the Thursday night football game. The Bills lost, so Wesley is in mourning!
We are spending the night and will head back to camp in the morning.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 22

We once again spent the morning in camp. Cath did some inside maintenance and I cleaned the inside of the truck.
We left for the Kid's house around 1300.
Around 1500 I became an Uber Driver! Picked-up Kennedy at school and delivered her to tennis practice. Then took Wes to basketball practice. I was on standby to pickup Kennedy, but another Uber Driver got there first. Lastly, picked-up up Wes and brought him back home. By then it was dinner time and I got "off duty"!
We had a nice dinner with the Kids and Kiddos and then headed back to camp.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 21

We spent the morning at camp, but left around lunch time. Then the craziness began!
At the Kid's house we got to tour all the new renovations. The house looks great with a nice open floor plan.
I spent a few hours washing the truck. It was filthy after the trip to here.
Kennedy and Wesley got home from school and did their chores. Kennedy has tennis coaching and Wes has a football game to go to.
Brian and Nicole arrived to the game from work. The game was a close one 14 - 7, but we were on the losing side. I got to "run the chains", so I had a birds eye view of the game. This game was for the league championship!
After the game we hit a great Hamburger Joint and had dinner. 
Cath and I got home around 2100. Sleep will come fast.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 20

We spent the entire day at camp, although we did hit the commissary for a few supplies. The commissary is less than a mile away.
We spent a lot of the day outside as the weather is great, low 70s and sunny. It is forecast to stay this way for a least the next ten days!
Spent some time yakking and trading lies with our neighbors. 
The Camp Host (Frank) is right across from us. He has a cat named Willow that visits all the campers throughout the day. She spends lots of time by us!
It was nice to spend the early evening outside relaxing and enjoying an AB!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 19

We left Sesqui State Park around 0930 and made the short (125 miles) drive to Foster Creek Campground at the Goose Creek Naval Weapons Station. We will be here until 31 Dec. We arrived around 1230 and spent the afternoon setting up. It was nice to get all of our stuff out rather than just the essentials for a few days stay.
The neighbors invited the entire campground over to their site for a "meet n' greet". We learned that they do this every Sunday. Next week we will contribute some snacks to the event. We had a good time and met some new camping friends.
We had a small issue with the camper. The oven pilot light igniter is not working. While we were at the "meet n' greet" we learned that our next door neighbor is a Mobile RV Tech! He has offered to help us with the oven issue.
We left camp and drove to James Island for Wesley's basketball game. After that we all went to Lewis Barbecue in Charleston. It was probably the best BBQ we've ever had! The brisket was fork tender!
After a long day we hit the hay. We will sleep good tonight!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 18

We spent the day in camp watching the comings and goings of all the other campers.
The highlight of the day was slowly packing up for our drive tomorrow. We played some cards in the afternoon outside! The weather is perfect.
We are looking forward to Charleston as we will be in one place for six weeks. Hurrah!
