On the way home

On the way home we stopped in Ormond Beach & the kids came down for the day. They enjoyed the pool & the swings. I think they really enjoyed themselves. The kids really enjoyed the pool. Man can they swim too.

Hannah spent the night with us & we had a very good time. She was an excellent visitor.

It's so good to have Donny back stateside.

Hilton Head, SC

WOW!!!

That is what I have to say about Sun City, SC. What a place. An adult community with everything & anything you can think of. Woodworking, sewing, art, dancing (of all kinds), shows, pools, huge gym etc... I was totally amazed at this place. What a wonderful place to live. Two of my good friends (Joyce & Reade) moved there & John & I went to visit. We both loved it!

We had a wonderful visit with our friends & hope to see them soon. I hope they enjoy their new place and wish that they get more visits from their friends.

We also got to meet up with Melanie & Dan for breakfast at Cracker Barrel in SC. I forgot to bring the camera so no pictures this time. All in all SC was worth the trip.

Leaving Hershey PA

Well, we spent time resting in the Hershey area and we are ready to move on. We are heading home to Florida now. Our next stop will be Gasburg, VA at Lake Gaston.

While we were here in PA, my son stayed for a weekend with his friend, Daria. We had a nice visit. A little to many white russians though. We roasted some marshmallows & sat by the campfire, typical camping weekend.

If you visit the Hershey area, you must go to Shady Maple.
It is the largest smorgasboard I have ever seen. The food is endless. Too much to chose from. The gift store in the basement is like shopping at a mall. http://www.shady-maple.com/ Check it out.

So we are moving on. See you in VA.

Visiting With Good Friends In NY

Woodstock NY

We took a trip back in time to the 60's. Remember the Woodstock concert. Three days of music. August 15, 16 & 17, 1969. 500,000 people gathered on the lawn of Max Yasgur's farm with traffic jams of up to 20 miles long. Just imagine that. There was lots of rain, not enough food, plenty of drugs and lack of bathroom facilities. The music of the decades. Man I wish I was there then. John and his friends were planning on going when he heard Arlo Guthrie on the radio say "the NY thruway is closed man". We spoke to a man from Texas that was at Woodstock & he told us the thruway was never shut down. This man came to Woodstock & never left. He was sitting there with pictures of the historic concert & the new museum. Now they do have outdoor concerts there every year. Behind this monument was the Woodstock concert. The bowl was where the bands played & the hill was filled with the fans. We went to a Harvest fest on the Woodstock grounds. The band reminded me of the Janis Joplin or Gracie Slick times in the 60's. It was a beautiful day, a little crisp in the shade.
Hanging with friends

We had a wonderful weekend with our friends Chuckie & Barb and our RV buddies, Ruth & Bucky. Again it is all about the food.















Chuckie the chef!

Lake George, NY

Well we spent some time in Lake George, NY. We had some really bad weather before the girls came up we were lucky the rain stopped the night before they arrived. It rained for 3 straight days.

We took a walk down by the Schroon River

The girls sat around a bonfire & enjoyed roasting marshmallows.

We had a nice visit with the girls. We went for a bike ride around the lake .

The lake was beautiful.

Lake George Antique Car Show

Antique car show at Lake George, NY. Wow!!! Busy town today. At night the road the main road through town was blocked off for a of parade of cars. I have never seen Lake George so busy. So many beautiful antique cars. The streets were lined with antique cars. Parked on the roads, in the parking lots, at the hotels, everywhere a car could park there was one.
