Winter Excursion 7, Day 49

Left camp and drove to the PX to pick up a few items. From there we headed to the Kid's house so Cath could continue her Christmas Cookie baking (that's the last thing I want to hinder)!

I helped Kennedy build her Ginger Bread House.

She did a really great job. I forgot to get a pic of the finished product. I'll get that tomorrow if the house wasn't eaten.

Played some football with Wes. Kaylee sat on the steps and watched the game.

Cath finished up around 1500 and we drove back to camp. Relaxed for a few hours, had a nice dinner, then off to bed.

 

Winter Excursion 7, Day 48

We left camp and headed to the Kid's house so Cath could resume her baking duties. I can't wait to try all the cookies she's been baking!

I spent the day doing a few errands and getting the truck cleaned up from two weeks at the beach. The inside was the worst with tons of sand everywhere. I think I got all the salt and sand cleaned up. It turned out pretty good. Here's the clean truck and the new e-bike.

We were back at camp by 1700 and enjoyed a peaceful evening.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 47

We were up early and spent the morning packing up to move back to Buck Hall. We were on the road by 1030. On the way the camper TPMS went off. I watched the tire pressure go from 65 to 60, 59, 58, 57....and on down to 50 when I finally found a place to stop. After a few choice words that I can't put in the blog I walked back expecting to see a flat, but all I heard was air hissing. I figured we'd picked up a nail, but as luck world have it the TPMS sensor had come loose on the valve stem. I tightened it, the hissing stopped, and we drove the rest of the way to Buck Hall.

We did a quick setup, had a little lunch and then drove to the kid's house.

Waiting for us in the garage was our new e-bike. It's a Heybike Mars. It's a big improvement over our little one.

We gave the old one to the Kiddos and they are jazzed. Here's Wesley cleaning it up and lubricating it.

Everyone one took the new bike for a ride.

We head out to Baker and Brewer for an early dinner.

After dinner we toured some of the neighborhoods in the area to gawk at the Christmas Lights.

We also stopped at Charleston Center. It was super crowded so we didn't stay long.

This display is around 10 ft. high and made from Legos!

Back at the Kid's house we didn't stay long as it's been a long day for us. Sleep will come fast tonight.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 46

We had a lazy morning and just hung out at camp.

Around 1300 we headed out for lunch at the local Mexican joint. The house special was really good. It had grilled chicken strips. chorizo, and steak strips, all seasoned and in some sort of gravy.

Back at camp we played cribbage all afternoon.

After a few toddies and a light dinner (we are still stuffed from lunch) we caught a movie, then off to bed. Tomorrow is moving day.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 45

We left camp and headed out to do our favorite chore...Laundry (NOT!) The closest laundromat to Edisto is about 1 hour away. It is a little one, so we drove to North Charleston to a huge on we have been to before. Cath had it all done in under 2 hours.

On the way back to camp we spotted this Santa waving in the wind.

I always tease Cath that I want one of these twirly things, but she always says "No", even if it's a Santa. I think one in front of the camper would be 'cool".

The storm was not as bad as forecast, but it rained hard for awhile and the wind has been strong. The sun came out late in the afternoon and we were treated to another beautiful sunset.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 44

We hung out a camp today except for a short drive around Edisto. 

We got most everything put away or covered as we are forecast to get some storms blowing through tonight and tomorrow.

A nice dinner, a movie, then off to bed. It's been a lazy day.

Winter Excursion 7, Day 43

We drove back to Charleston today. I've been having connections issues with the new hotspot we got a few weeks ago. Verizon was great and took the new one back. I'm posting this on the new one and all is good! The past few weeks have been frustrating! 

On the was home we took a backroad to go through Hollywood, SC and were treated with these Christmas Decorations.

This is on the corner off the main road.

This is looking down the street.

They have the whole street and all the yards decorated!

If we get a chance we will try to get some pics at night.

Our other big find today was at the "Food Lion" grocery in Ravenel, SC. They had Cheerwine! See yesterday's post.

I tried it; not too bad; cherry soda. Cath tried it and said YUK!

Back at camp we are expecting rain tonight and tomorrow.

It will be nice just to chill for a few days.
