Winter Excursion 10, Day 184

It rained all day and we were house bound for the most part.
Wesley and I had a cribbage match. I won the first two games and he won the next three.
The girls all went to a movie and did some shopping. Cath got a new dress for Emily's wedding.
Wesley and I stayed home. We watched a little of the Derby and had some left over chicken for dinner.
The rain finally stopped around 1800 and we got a little walk in for the dogs.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 183

We had great plans for today, but most of it did not happen.
The AT&T repair man was scheduled to arrive this morning and repair the Kid's new fiber internet hookup. The system was just installed yesterday, but it keeps dropping out. He didn't show up until 1700.
We were going to go to the RiverDog's baseball game this evening, but it got rained out!
So we decided to watch a movie, but the internet continues to keep dropping out. So no movie!
We were going to have baseball food for dinner, but we had some super good chicken thigh fillets on the flattop.
The good news today (besides dinner) was that our new truck has been built and shipped. It will be waiting for us when we get home in June.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 182

We were up at 0700 and started getting ready to move the camper to a "non camping site". It used to be a camping site years ago, but when the State Park system took it over there were a few sites that got closed. The good news is there is power at this non-site so we can run the refrigerator and one of the ACs. That will keep the camper cool and dry! We moved the camper over to that site and by 1100 we were on the road.
We did the 325 mile drive to the Kids and arrived around 1630. Charleston traffic was terrible. It took us an hour to do the last 25 miles!
It was great to see the Kids and Kiddos. We all had a good evening catching up on news.
All is well in the Boss Camp, but will be better we we get our truck back!   

Winter Excursion 10, Day 181

We spent the day finishing packing up and doing camper maintenance.
All the staff stopped by to say goodbye, but we will be seeing everyone again when our truck is fixed and we get it back.
We went out to dinner and got our Italian Fix at Olive Garden. We ordered "Senior Portions". We are starting to realize that we can't eat as much as we use to!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 180

Today was our last day hosting for this year.
We finally got some rain, but not enough to lift the fire bans for this area, Hopefully we will get some more rain soon. The campers are all upset that they cannot have campfires or use charcoal.
The find of the day was this tiny broom. 
I'll leave it in the host cart for the next host. Maybe they could use it to clean a site. That would be an all day job, this broom is only 3 inches long!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 179

It was a super quiet, easy day. We spent the afternoon sitting outside enjoying the cool temps and a light breeze. We only hand a handful of campers leaving and arriving.
We continue to do a little packing up each day in preparation of leaving the camper here and heading to the Kid's house in Charleston.
The find of the day was this button.
I hope nobodys pants fell down!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 178

It was a fairly normal work day, except 5 of the campers leaving decided to wait until after checkout time to leave. This always puts a dent in our routine and schedule. I think it would be fun to be "entitled"! 
The find of the day was this colorful propeller.
I attached it to our cart and was really surprised that it actually makes our cart go faster!
