Day 5

Day 5 1/18/11 We were up and out the door for breakfast by 9:15. Came back and got the RV ready to head south. We were on I 95 at 10:45. We hit the Florida state line at noon and the sky was blue and sunny - welcome to the Sunshine State. By 1:00 it started to rain. We got to St. Augustine around 2:30 We drove to Bryn Mawr Ocean Resort under gray skies. We registered and unhooked the car and drove to our campsite which is right on the beach. It is such a great setting, we love it. It took us 2 hours to set up. We had to unwinterize the water system, that was fun, but we did it. We now have fresh water, hot and cold. We have a great raised covered deck with a picnic table. I hope we can eat out there many times. We are staying here for 8 days. I will do pictures later.

Day 4

One of the swans in the lake

Savanna South KOA in Richmond Hills, GA

Day 4 1/17/11 Another cold morning. We were back on I 95 at 8:45. We ate breakfast on the road. At 1:15 it started to rain. We reached our next campground, Savanna South KOA, by 3:00. We are now in Richmond Hills, GA just south of Savannah. This camp site is the prettiest so far. There is a lake in front of our site and it is filled with water fowl. There are about 10 swans. They are so big and so pretty. We went out to dinner and when we came back Mike watched SU basketball and I worked on the computer and watched my own TV. They say tonight's temperature is 40 degrees - a heat wave.

Day 3

RVacation RV Park in Selma, NC

Day 3 1/16/11 We left Tom and Meg's house around 9:15 and hooked up the car to the RV and took off south at 10:10. We had a smooth drive down to Selma, NC. We got to our campsite around 3:00. It is right off I 95. The campground is called RVacation RV Park. It was sunny and 56 degrees. We set up, even pushed out the slide-outs. We had a glass of wine outside while watching the sun set. Retirement is great. We went out to dinner. When we got back Mike watched football and I worked on the computer. Another cold sleeping night, 29 degrees.

Day 1 and Day 2 of trip to Florida

Walmart in Ruckersville, VA

Day 2 Sat. 1/15/11 We got up around 8:15, freezing cold out. We got the RV ready to roll and left the Carlisle campground and stopped for breakfast. We were heading south by 11:00. We arrived at the Walmart in Ruckersville, VA about 3:00. We unhooked the car and drove to our son Tom's house and spent the night.

Western Village RV Park in Carlisle, PA

Day 1 We left Pittsford at 9:30 AM on Friday Jan. 14, 2011. We drove to Mt. Morris, NY's rest stop off 390 and hooked my car up to the RV. The day was sunny and the roads were dry. Mike is doing great driving the "big bus". We decided to eat lunch on the road, because we can, so I made sandwiches while Mike was driving. That was a big time saver. We got to Carlisle, PA around 4:00 and ate dinner. From there it was under a mile to our campground, Western Village RV Park. We pulled into our spot and hooked up the electric and went inside and started the furnace up. We took the chill off then we turned off the furnace and plugged in our electric space heater. We spent the night checking out our computers, using the hot spot device Mike bought from Verizon. It worked great, we both could be on and do our own thing on our own computers. We then played cards. We went to bed, I put fleece PJs on because it was going down to 15 degrees during the night. I even wore my fleece hat which Mike laughed about. I brought along a heavy wool blanket which I am glad I did because it kept us warm all night long.

First week long camp outing

Tues. Sept. 7 we left for a week camping at Southwick Beach State Park. This park is at the east end of Lake Ontario. We arrived to a gorgous day so we set up fast and went right to the beach. On Wed. we woke up to cold, cloudy and very, very windy. We drove to Watertown, took walks on a very windy beach and even had to have an indoor supper because it was so awful outside. Thurs. Katie and Will came up to visit. It was still cold and windy so we went to visit Aunt Ethel in Constantia, NY. We didn't get back till dark and it was raining so no campfire. Woke up Friday with blue sky and sun but still chilly. We walked the beach and got the sand toys out and play there till lunchtime. After nap Grandpa and Will played in the water for a little while, wind made you cold. Will got dressed and we played in the sand again. Before they left for home we started a campfire so Will could see it. Sat. was a gorgous day so we spent it on the beach. Sun. it rained all day we played cards and took naps. We did go into Watertown for dinner. Mon. we packed up and came home. What a great place, hope to go there next year.

Second camping trip

On Tues. Aug. 24 Mike drove the RV and I followed in the car again. We went East this time and went to Junius Ponds Campground in Phelps, NY. It is right off the Thruway, Exit 42. We stayed 2 nights. We had our first visitors. Tues. was Peggy & Gordon Heinzman from Waterloo, NY and Wed. was Sue Miller from Pittsford, NY. They each stayed for dinner and we had a campfire both nights.

Maiden Voyage of the Wally Wagon

On Tues. Aug. 3, 2010 Mike drove the RV and I followed with the car to the campground in Byron, NY called Southwood RV Resort.

We stayed for 2 nights. Because of the 90 degree weather we stayed inside in the AC for most of the time. We did go shopping at Camper's World and Walmart on Wed. for things we forgot or saw other RV's using.
