Winter Excursion 10, Day 54

We left the Kid's house this morning and were back at the camper by noon. It was good to be back "home". We both noticed how quiet it was without the Kiddos and Corgis. 

We just relaxed and watched all the football games in the afternoon.

After dinner it was not long before we hit the hay. I'm sure we will sleep very good!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 53

Everyone slept in a little and after a nice breakfast we got the day started.

Brian and I had a nice long walk with the dogs. Then we spent some time cleaning up the garage and setting up the ping pong table. The Kid's have company coming this evening.

I forgot to mention that Nicole's Mom, Mary, arrived yesterday for the Holidays. It was good to see her again. She was on the cruise with us this past summer.

Nick, Katie, and their kiddos arrived late afternoon. It was good to see Nick again after my time at his folks house for a Bills game.

We had enough food for a small army; pulled pork, cookies, brisket, cookies, salads, cookies, veggies, cookies, mac salad, cookies, and another banana cream pie. Did I mention COOKIES! It was another fun evening. 

After their friends left we watched the first Avatar movie in preparation to see the new Avatar #3 movie next weekend. We still need to watch #2. 

We will sleep good tonight! 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 52

Happy Birthday Brian! Our little boy is 46 today. Time flies!

We went over to the Kid's house to spend the weekend and celebrate Brian's Birthday. We did homemade pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven. Everyone had a good time making the pies and of course eating them. Nicole made a super good banana cream pie (Brian's favorite).

After dinner and a little celebrating we all watched a couple of specials about the Eras Tour. Nicole and Kennedy are huge Swifties.

All in all it's been a fun day.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 51

We had lunch at our favorite Fish n' Chips joint. After that we took a drive to a new to us grocery store. It's called LIDL. It reminded us of an Aldi on steroids. We were especially impressed with the bakery.

From there we drove to the Kid's to pick up our new glasses that finally arrived. I'm happy with mine, but Cath is having some issues with hers. We will wait till after the weekend to go back to the optometrist to have them checked.

The drive from Kid's house back to camp took an hour and a half! The traffic was terrible. 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 50

It was nice to get back to the camper this morning. We did a little camp maintenance, but for the most part we just relaxed.

We did a quick run to the PX for a few things.

We spent most of the afternoon and evening outside. The weather has finally turned nice again.

Our new neighbors came over to say Hi and we yakked with them for awhile. It is their first time in the Charleston area and we gave them a few ideas for places to visit. They are only here for a couple of days. 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 49

Cath has all her Christmas baking done! We were even allowed to sample a few of her creations today!

I drove back to camp again this morning. We needed propane again as the weather has been freezing at night.

Wesley had a Band Concert in the evening. He plays the clarinet! Here's a few pics from the concert.

Here's the band director in his Christmas suit!

Here's Wes.

Once again we styed the night. We are looking forward to sleeping in the camper again!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 48

I took Cath over to the Kid's house to work on her Xmas Cooking Bakeoff. After I dropped her off I drove back to camp.

The RV Tech showed up around noon and we got the new oven installed. It works great! We also got the new sewer hose holder installed. The camper already had one mounted under the belly, but twice on the way down here we needed addition hose to reach the site sewer hookup. Now we have two holders side by side.

After the Tech left I drove back to the Kid's hose. Wesley has another basketball game this evening. It's his last until after the holidays. Unfortunately they lost. The team is now 3 and 1. Wesley did score again, he's doing well.

After the game we watched some Monday Night Football. We are staying the night.
