A Decision is Made!

Today, Thursday, Ken and I have reached a decision!  Denny, our PA mechanic is having his garage come to VA to pick up our truck and tow it back to PA.  The Ford Dealership did come up with some options for the repairs, but we did not feel confident that they knew what they were doing.  So, home it goes.  They will pick it up tomorrow morning and have it finished by next Thurs. or Friday.  So, we are going home with one of the couples we are camping with, getting our car, and driving back to the CG for the next week of our trip.  We have planned to spend the 2nd week in another location, but Colonial Beach will be our home for another 7 days.  Then we will drive back to PA,, get the truck, and drive it to the CG to bring "Willie" home.  It feels good just to have made a decision even though the cost does not make us a "happy camper".  Who ever said RVing is the reasonable way to travel!!

 

Before breakfast the 6 of us took a bike ride on quiet country roads near the CG.  We had wonderful views of the Potomac.  We stopped at a Private Beach, Berkaley Beach, and had the opportunity to walk on their pier.  3 beautiful swans flew in and swam up to where we were standing.  They were looking for a "treat".  Unfortunately, we did not have any food with us.  We think it was a mother and her 2 older "children".

At least it is mostly sunny today.  Hasn't been that way since we arrived.  Ken, Kathy and Sam went to tour the Stratford Hall Plantation which is only about 12 miles away.  Unfortunately, most of the grounds with the walking trails overlooking the Potomac are closed due to the heavy rains they have had in this area.  Fred and Doloris went to check out 3 nearby wineries.  I chose to stay at the CG and just relax and work on my blog.  Also got to "catch up" on some phone calls to the girls and my mother.  Sometimes downtime can just be what a girl needs!!!!!!

Everyone was back by 4:30.  Ken started a fire and we sat around drinking wine and enjoying cheese.  Had a delicious supper and then played more Cue Me.  Of course the women were victorious again.  Tonight we even made s'mores. (Our 1st time since we arrived!  What is wrong with that picture?????)
