Winter Excursion 9, Day 22

We hung out at camp this morning and after lunch headed to the Kid's house. Nicole is working late and Brian is also. 
I spent the early afternoon washing the truck after 20 days on the road it sure needed it.
While at the Kid's I tried on my Santa suit. 
I will be playing Santa twice at Brian's Club. The suit fits fine, we just need to do a little fixing on the beard, wig, and hat!
After a nice dinner we drove back to camp. It's been a fun day and the weather is perfect!

Winter Excursion 9, Day 21

We went to La-Z-Boy this morning to check out what they offer for furniture. When we get home we will need a new living room set, so while traveling we've been checking out what's available. We did find some things we liked.
On the way back to camp we did a little grocery shopping as we are going to the Kid's tomorrow and Cath will be making dinner. 
Our neighbors have a Class A motorhome and also have two Corgis. They are usually gone during the day and we keep seeing one of the Corgis looking out his "Corgi Window".
Cath got these pics of the lanterns our friends gave us back home before ewe left.
One is with a flash and the other with the "night sight".

We spent the early evening outside enjoying the weather. It is cooling down and the humidity is decreasing! Hooray!

Winter Excursion 9, Day 20

We stayed in camp this morning and had our first breakfast on the flattop! It's good to have it back in service again. Did a few more camp chores and then headed to the Kiddos' in the afternoon. 
We got our first look at the house renovation plans the Kid's are planning. We will be looking forward to next year to see the finished result.
Wesley and I did a little drone flying in their front yard.


We need to get to a BIG field so he can fly it without trying to hit houses and trees!
Wes had a basketball game in the evening, so we all piled in the car and had a good time at the game. His team will do well with a little more practice. I was amazed at how good these 11 year old's are!
After dinner Cath and I headed back to camp. As usual it's been a fun day with the Kiddos!

Winter Excursion 9, Day 19

We spent the day in camp. After breakfast we started on camp chores and maintenance. 
We got the outside all set up. Here's our "new this year" camp sign.
The patio is ready for some evening wine tasting!
And the new and improved outside kitchen is ready!
The kitchen did get some use. Here's our country rib we had for dinner.
The night before last we had a great sunset, but I didn't get a pic. I was hoping we would have a repeat this evening. It was a nice one, but not as good as the night before.

Winter Excursion 9, Day 18

We pulled out of our site at 0720, dumped the camper and were on the to our new campground by 0730. We decide that early Sunday morning is the time to travel as there was hardly any traffic. We had no problems on the way and arrived at Foster Creek RV Park in Goose Creek, SC. It's a military campground and we have been here many times. I'll post a pic tomorrow. We did manage to get our favorite site (#12) and will be here for 6 weeks.
We arrived around 1330 and by1500 were all set up when the Kids and Kiddos arrived. It was great as always to see them. Our Granddaughter has grown into a young lady!
We did a big batch of wings and the Kids brought our favorite pizza with them. We spent some time catching up and then watched the football game. Wesley would not miss the game and his team did win.
It was a long day for us and we will sleep like bears tonight!

Winter Excursion 9, Day 17

Did a little shopping this morning in preparation of the Kiddos being in the area. Cookies, snacks, M&Ms, and hot chocolate were all on the list.
We spent the afternoon slowly packing up and plan to leave early tomorrow. We have to have the camper all set up before the Bills/Chiefs game starts as the Kids and Kiddos are coming over for the game, pizza, and wings!
As always we've enjoyed our stay at Cedar Point USFS CG and will be back again I'm sure.

Winter Excursion 9, Day 16

After listening to the rain last night we slept in a little. After breakfast we jumped in the truck and drone to Moorhead City to visit the Ashley Furniture Store. We found nothing that we liked!
We drove back to camp via the Emerald Isle. This island is wall to wall summer houses, condos, and apartments. I'm sure in the summer it is a zoo, but today it was not crowded at all.
We stopped at Moore's Olde Tyme Barbeque for some Carolina BBQ. The food was good and the lemonade was great!
Back at camp we played some cribbage. Cath crushed me and I spent the rest of the day in a funk!
