Back on the Road!

Yesterday, Monday, was a crazy day!  We headed out at 7:30 to pick up Waldo at Tom Schaeffers RV Dealership near Leesport where we had some warranty work and a few others done while we were at the beach.  After some misunderstandings as far as the work they were supposed to do (some of it was our fault) we arrived back home around 11.  We started loading things into Waldo for our trip tomorrow.  After numerous trips and taking time for lunch, we headed to Costco for some needed groceries.  Then the loading and packing continued.  Maybe we should have given ourselves some extra days from our return from the beach until we leave again.  By bedtime, we were tired!

We got up at 3:15 and were on our way with the SRV in tow by 4:10 - it was rather dark (imagine that!!!).  We only made one stop, Denny's for breakfast, during our 5 1/2 hour trip to Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay CG in Gloucester, VA.  It was about 250 miles.  We did go around Baltimore and DC, but it was an uneventful trip (the best kind!) with very manageable traffic!  When we got there, it had started to rain and that continued on and off until about 5.  It was nice to get to the CG so early, 10 AM.  Our site overlooks the river and is so scenic.  All in all, it is a nice CG with 4 brand new pickleball courts and both large pools have been totally renovated - impressive!  The sites are fairly spacious and there is a lake and a boat launch available to the campers. They also redid the miniature golf course!

You can see the Piankatank River from our campsite.
This river feeds into the Chesapeake Bay.

This is the adult pool (18 years+) where they play volleyball
every afternoon!

The main pool - never saw 2 such large pools at a CG!

A lake in the middle of the CG!

What a setting for this permanent campsite!

After setting up, we had lunch and then decided to really relax - we took naps. Getting up at 4 didn't give us much rest last night!  Then we took 2 walks around the CG, only making dinner at 7:15.  We talked to Fred and Doloris, who will arrive tomorrow and then Ken and I discussed our camping plans for the fall and winter.  We are looking to spend time in Florida both times and thought it was time to come up with dates and which CG's we would like to go to.  I think we are getting closer to finalizing some plans.  We need to make some phone calls tomorrow before we can have definite dates for coming and going!!!!!

We are in this CG until next Wednesday and looking forward to playing pickleball, kayaking, miniature golfing, and sharing fun times with Fred and Doloris!  Life is Good!
