Chattanooga TN – Stone Mountain GA Stone Mountain Park Campground Days 37 - 38 After another short drive and mostly easy drive we arrived in Stone Mountain GA. I say mostly easy because it has been some time since we have had to deal with city traffic. Stone Mountain is only 16 miles from Atlanta GA, and all of its wonderful traffic. The campground has 325 campsites and several rental trailers and yurts available for rent. Our sites definitely have the best view we have had in a campground yet. Once the motorhome was setup, I worked on getting the TV setup outside before the Eagles –San Francisco playoff game started. It was a great afternoon watching the game, grilling wings and overlooking the lake. At 5:30 we heading over to the base of the mountain, ... read more

You all probably know, due to health issues, I did not get on a Winter Snowbird trip in January. I made some tough decisions, my health dictated my choices. It was horrible staying home during those cold, damp dreary winter months. My goal was to be in tip top shape by 3/26, the date for my trip to Ireland. I accomplished that and had a great trip with girlfriends. But, I got sick at the end of the trip, and ended up at the doctor upon return for a sinus infection and bronchitis. I recovered enough in time to go to NJ for Maggie’s confirmation, which did not happen due to circumstances beyond all control, but my plane ticket was purchased, so I went. I got home and quickly packed the RV with friend Marilyn’s help, ... read more

October 28- October 31 I worked from the RV. The view from my office is beautiful. Autumn in North Carolina cannot be beat. On Thursday, Halloween, it was rainy, dark, windy and just spooky! By the end of the day, the rain stopped. I was happy about that for the trick or treaters. We went out to our usual Thursday dinner at Avenue M. I thought it would be crowded, but it wasn't. The employees were dressed up for Halloween. Our server, Sarah was dressed for 'Breast Cancer Awareness'. She had put two big pink balloons in her low cut shirt...wow! Another girl was walking around with a clear plastic bag around her, filled with multicolor balloons. They had a contest-you had to guess how many balloons were in her plastic bag. I guessed 54, Ken ... read more

While I was at work yesterday Ken finished packing up. We gave our 'stuff' (furniture, dishes, etc.) to Christine's nephew (a friend from work). We were able to sell the TV. We did acquire too much in the last year. We will spend much of the weekend organizing and purging. I think we have 16 pillows between the RV and apartment. We had extras for guests in the RV and extras for guests in the apartment, besides the ones we bought for the apartment. Fortunately we haven't thrown anything away...always find someone to receive it. Just this morning Ken gave away two reclining lounge chairs that we had bought for our balcony at the apartment. He gave them to two tent campers at the campground. Neither one us were sad to say goodbye to the apartment. ... read more

Day 3- Stone Mountain Georgia is the place Oupa and Grandma took mommy (Amanda) on their first road trip. It only took 3 hours from Chattanooga to drive here. First thing we did is set up camp, eat Quesadillas for lunch, then off to ride the train around the mountain. The Crossroads entertainment area has plenty of shows and things to see and do. We listened to a story teller, watched a 4-D movie "Journey to Mysterious Island 2" and followed the "Bubble Man" all over the park! Ice Cream and off we go, back to the camp, to swim in the pool.... read more
