Mon. 9/8/14  We left home around 11:00, stopped at the Waterloo exit and got gas for RV and Mike ordered 2 Subs for us to eat on the way.  We arrived at Southwick Beach around 2:00.  It was sunny, with a little breeze and 75 degrees.  We set up fast and then went down to the beach.  The beach was a lot wider than in June.  We sat with Claude and Janet.  Mike went into the water and noodled for 1/2 hr.  It was so warm I even went into the water. The water was clean and clear. We came back up to the RV at 5:30 and had supper then we had a fire, with a full moon.  Tues. 9/9/14 we woke up to a sunny day and it got to 74 degrees.  After doing our morning work we went down to the beach.  Mike went out in the water and noodled again.  Mike went back up to the RV and made sandwiches and brought them down to the beach.  After lunch I took a long walk down the beach and when I came back Mike was out in the water again.  Later in the afternoon I went up to RV and brought down cocktails.  We came back up at 5:30 and had supper.  Our neighbors had a RV just like ours and they invited us to come see the inside.  A completely different layout.  Then they came over to see our inside.  We then invited them to our fire and had a nice visit. They are leaving tomorrow so we probably won't ever see them again.   Wed. 9/10/14 woke up to cloudy and breezy but still warm. The Heinzman's arrived at 11:00.  We sat outside and visited then we ate lunch outside.  We took a walk down the beach.  When we got back we decided we could play cards on the picnic table.  We had supper outside and then we went inside and played more cards.  They left around 8:00.  The weather got worse in the evening, winds up to 30 mph and it rained really hard.  Thurs. 9/11/14  We woke up with the pouring rain and very, very windy.  We did our morning chores then ate an early lunch and then left for Aunt Ethel's.

Southwick Beach State Park - June

We were suppose to leave for Southwick Beach State Park on Mon. June 2, 2014 but we had some RV problems.  On Thurs. May 29th I went out to the RV to make the bed but when I pushed the slide-out button nothing happened, the other slides worked fine. We drove the RV out to Camper's World on Fri.  It was repaired, it was an electrical problem and we picked it up on Monday (the day we were suppose to leave for Southwick).  When we got into the driveway and Mike was positioning it in driveway and all of a sudden I heard a pop and smoke started to come out from the driver's side wheel well.  We called Camper's World on Tues. and they didn't want us to drive it cause they weren't sure what the puddle under the RV was. We called AAA and a big tow truck came and towed it to Camper's World, FREE.  They took the RV right in.  When we got back from lunch they told us it was the hydrolic line that had popped.  We could still drive the RV and go to Southwick but we couldn't put the levelers down which was ok cause we parked on blacktop. We drove it back home and packed it and left for Southwick on Wed.

Wed. 6/4/14 we got up at 6:00AM and I filled the fridge and the freezer and filled the water tank.  We finally drove out of the driveway for Southwick at 10:00.
