RV-ing in the Kram-a-lot-Inn

Friday, April 27 - It’s been awhile (Freedland, MD)

I know most of you are really glad I don’t write the mundane things we have been doing on a day to day basis.

We have been having much fun spending time with our families and getting some things done.

We have not had our satellite because of being in the east…something to do with the east/west dishes. Yesterday we were in York getting a new handle to our refrigerator which I broke and came across a Dish dealer. Jesse went in to talk to the guys and came out with a another dish for the east. When we came home he still was not able to get a signal.

I have made the curtains for the windows and we purchased new tables and a rug for the living room area. We both are very happy with the way the RV is looking.

Before - With Sondra and Madison visiting

After – With Mitchell and Margaret visiting

With new end tables

New rug and the Boys

We spent Passover with the family at Sondra’s. As always she made a delicious dinner for the Seder and we enjoyed being among the family.

We spent the Easter weekend on the Eastern Shore with my brother and family. We all went to Brian and Shannon’s in Delaware for Easter dinner which was great! We had the tradition egg hut for the girls and dyed eggs later in the day.

We have been to Mitch and Margaret’s to play Double Dominos and let the fur cousins play. It’s always so much fun!

We spend a very nice evening with my nephew Rob (aka BJ) and Sara.

Over all the last almost month has gone by fast and we look forward to the next few weeks we have left here before traveling to Colorado for the summer.

Here’s just a few more pictures:

Hugs to all

Sunday, April 1 - Time with Family (Freeland, MD)

One Thursday we met Sondra at Hunt Valley which is a nice shopping center 1/2 way between her house and the campground.

We went to Panera Breads for lunch. We lingered for quite awhile getting caught up on all the news.

We went into a few stores and to Best Buy. Sondra wanted Jesse’s input in purchasing a new computer.

We ended the day in Wegmans. It’s a high end gourmet grocery store.

Thursday night after she got off work Kelsey came to visit and spent the night. It was so good to see her again and we talked for hours.

Friday Kelsey needed to get to class (College) so we were up and she was ready to leave ay 7:45am.

Jesse and I made a trip into Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania which is about 7 miles from us. We wanted to see what store were there and we needed a few items from Walmart.

In the evening I met Kelsey and her mom Debbie at the movie theater the see “The Hunger Games”. I really enjoyed the movie.

Saturday we went to Mitch and Margaret’s (M&M). They live in Hanover PA and using the back roads it’s about 40 minutes from us. The boys went with us because they wanted to visit their cousins.

We sat and visited then we went to pick up some friends and we all went out to eat. They took us to a Bar/Restaurant called Wrightsville Inn. They have a colossal crab cake. It was a 1/2 pound of crab meat without filler.

They also had the largest wings plate I have ever seen. There only 3 uneaten wings on this plate.

We went back to M&M for dessert, we enjoyed our day very much. Thanks guys for a fun day!

Today we went to Sondra’s for a visit and late lunch. Kelsey came over after she got off from work to also visit with us. After we ate we played a card game called ? I forgot the name but it was fun!

We enjoyed our day and looking forward to many more.

Wednesday, March 28 - Travel to Maryland (Freeland, MD)

We left Llano Grande Resort on Monday March 12th on route to Rockport. We had an uneventful travel day of 175 miles and arrived at Rustic Cove Resort. The park was small but very nice at $25 per night.

We got set-up and then took a drive around to see what there was to do. We expected to see more small fishing villages and was a little disappointed.

While we were here for three nights we walked around the town and in and out a few shops. Interesting art.

We went to the Texas Maritime Museum

We took a ride on the Ferry to Port Aransas. We drove through a very nice state park.

We also took a ride to Goose Island to see a really old oak tree.

We left Rockport on Thursday 15th and traveled 176 miles to Houston area staying at Houston West RV Park in Brookhire. We stopped here to visit friends Bob and Linda Conrad. We worked with them in New York at LGE in the summer of 2010.

We also hoped to see Arlene Sullivan, although she was not feeling well. We had a very nice day and a great with the Conrad's and Bayer and Buddy had fun playing with their fur kids Buster and Charlie.

We left Houston on Sunday the 18th and headed 217 miles to Kinder, LA staying one night at Red Shoes RV Park which is part of the Coushatta Casino.

We got set up and visited the casino to get something to eat and donate some of our money. We are not big gamblers so we were not there long.

We had planned to go to Bayou Segnette for three nights and visit New Orleans…. But as they say plans are made in Jell-O. Howard and Linda Payne contacted us, they were staying at Tickfall State Park in Springfield, LA and we decided to join them. So on Monday the 19th we traveled 166 miles to Tickfall. Really nice park and we were able to park next to them.

It was so good to see them again and we had a wonderful time spending time eating, visiting and playing games.

Before we left on Friday, staying an additional night we got them to weight us.

We left on the 23rd and traveled 237 miles to Benchmark RV Park in Meridian, MS. I don’t even remember this park so it was fine for an overnighter.

On Saturday the 24th we drove 242 miles to Fort Payne, AL and stayed at Wills Creek RV Park

On Sunday we traveled 196 miles to Pigeon Forge, TN and stayed at Walden's Creek Campground. Again after getting set up we took a drive to see what there was to do. It was very nice area and many tourist traps.

The one thing to note that we did while there was go on a Zip line. One thing crossed off my Bucket list.

Wahoo Zip lines
