Summer is Over, but not Camping Season








Wow, it amazes me how quickly time flies. It seems like just last week we were preparing for a busy camping season and now we're making plans for winterizing our beloved 32' Coachman Santara. March had us freezing our booties off down the Jersey shore with my cousins. There, they introduced us to Sonic hamburgers which only recently moved into our area. We climbed Barnegat Lighthouse and went to the Popcorn Park Zoo. We have been to the mountains of Vermont twice. The second time with our niece and nephew (both teenagers). We had a great time showing them the countryside and introducing them to two of my favorite men. Yup, Ben and Jerry. Len went to the NASCAR race at Pocono. We've been down the Jersey shore a few times. Gotta love those relatives with a big enough driveway for us to park in. We spent our anniversary at Gettysburg. I wanted to re-enact the civil war but Lenny didn't want to play the southern role. What an interesting place. A definite must do again on my list. We also went on the Utz Factory tour. Free chips at the end. Yeah! This year has also been a year of firsts in our travels. For the first time, we slept in a truck stop in New York, first time to Ben and Jerry's, first time travelling with kids that weren't ours. Finally had the opportunity to eat at a Golden Corral Buffet. I'm still stuffed. In August we went to the Ice Cream Festival in Toms River, NJ and in September we will be going to a grilling competition in Sussex County, NJ and an air show in West Milford, NJ. A few more firsts are yet to come. Next month we will be travelling to Virginia to check out the Green Valley Book Fair (http://www.gvbookfair.com/), and seeing a show at Sight and Sound theatres in Lancaster, PA. We will be ending our season in November down in the Cape May area of NJ. Probably freezing our booties off once more. So while we may not travel as much as we want, we have travelled alot this year.

I'll be posting on an irregular basis to this blog, so we'll see how it goes. Follow along on our uncharterd trails...
