Back at Hershey Preserve!

Well, we were only home about 5 hours from the beach when we decided it was time to get on the road again!  So we called on Sunday and added Monday to our time at the Thousand Trails CG near Hershey!  Sunday and Monday were very busy days at the Hosler House!  Took quite awhile to get Willie ready to head out for another adventure!

We left home around 2 yesterday, Monday, and I followed Ken in the CRV.  It is odd for us to not be together in the truck when towing Willie.  We don't like it!!!  We were surprised at how full the CG was when we got there, but we found a site in our favorite area.  Set up went well and we were so excited to be here!  After dinner we took a walk around the CG and then watched some TV. 

Love the sites at this CG.  Large sites and so quite here!

Today, Tuesday, was a very unusual day for Ken and me.  We never left the CG and spent most of the day under Willie's canopy relaxing and doing somethings we haven't had a chance to do, such as making jewelry and for Ken, researching numerous things on the internet.  We have several Amazon gift cards and we spent time making a wishlist of things we need or would just like to have.  We will wait to order until we have time to really evaluate the list.  It is amazing how much time we spent outside talking and sharing while we were doing things that we both enjoy doing!  That just doesn't happen too often at home! 

After we finished cooking and eating dinner, we started to walk around the CG and stopped to talk to a full-timing couple, Ray and Linda, that Fred and Doloris had met here last weekend and suggested we met them.  They were sitting around a campfire with their camping companions, John and Betty.  Ray and Linda just finished a 3 year trip across the USA and John and Betty were with them for about 2 of those years.  They are both from Lebanon, but met when camping in Florida.  They sold their homes and are loving being on the road full-time.  We spent about 1 1/2 hours talking with them - what delightful people with a wealth of knowledge concerning CG's, places to see, etc.  Hopefully we will have a chance to spend more time with them while we are here!

Full time campers - John, Betty, Linda and Ray!
They love to do extended travels together!

Tomorrow morning we will meet Lanie, Jamie and our 4 granddaughters outside of the CG and we will take the 4 little ones to Chocolate World while their mommies shop the outlets!  We will bring them back to the CG for lunch and to swim.  Lanie will pick up Katelyn and take her home and Bria, Cali, and Sam will stay with us at the CG until Friday morning.  We are looking forward to a wonderful time.  They get so excited to go camping and we love having the opportunity to share this lifestyle with them.
