We had a great trip overall, but the weather was cold and the campsite was loud.
Friday We arrived about 6:30pm on Friday night after having to pack the entire camper since this was our madden voyage in the new camper. It was dark when we got to out Site 93. I was a little slow unhook and setup since this was my very first time. I got everything unhooked and leveled and turned on by I'm guessing around 7:30 where made our first meal in the camper, spaghetti. We then settled in to watch Home Alone.
After the movie was over we got into our beds and started to fall asleep. That is when we realized we were camping next to some sort of Rave party. Lights and extremely loud dance music lasted well past midnight. In the mean time around 11pm I realized that the heat was no longer working and that both propane tanks were empty, with it getting below freezing that night we need to fix that. I had to kick Ella and Brandee out of their beds so I could get out the propane tanks and run down the road to Sheetz to exchange
them. I hooked them back up and we were good to go for the night. Of course the dance music was blaring the entire time.
Saturday
Saturday was pretty cold all day. Barely got above 50degrees we stayed inside most of the morning. We were visited by Nevin & Cathy for early morning and lunch. We also went to the nearby swing set for some play time. They left and we had some more visitors John & Kim, they visited for a while a played Skippo. Then left and we headed to the playground that looked like an Ark. We played for a while then went for a walk down to the camp café where we saw what looked like Guy Fieri. We stalked him to his site and took a crappy photo of him chopping wood, we thought it was him because twitter said he was in Fairfield but we later found out it was Fairfield, CA. Bummer! We then went back to our site for Crackpot green beans, ham and instant mashed potatoes. I made a fire and we sat around the fire while Brandee cleaned up from dinner. We then settled in to watch Home Alone
2. We then headed to bed and listen to yet another Rave party.
Sunday
We woke up and had breakfast and started packing. Packing went pretty quick with not major issues or concerns. I guess camping all my life and being around people with campers paid of because I pretty much new what to do. We then headed home and got home around 11am.
Overall We had a great time in the camper and enjoyed the warm beds and running water. I also really enjoyed watching a movie each night with the kids. It was nice being warn in the camper and laughing with the kids. I would have liked not being surrounded by dance music but we just ignored it.
