Vacation 2010

It's finally here. That time off that you work hard for all year long and this time was no different. Our vacation plans had changed due to my health. I didn't want to travel too far from my doctors so we decided that instead of going to Vermont we would stay locally. We parked our coach at Timothy Lake South campground in the Pocono Mountains of PA. Ten days of relaxation, doing what we want, when we want. It started out great...or did it. It didn't take long to get Aggie all hooked up and level. Then we heard it. Len thought I was running the water inside to get the air out of the lines, I thought he was running water outside for whatever reason. Both of us were wrong. Our motorhome is 15 years old and over time things need to be replaced. This was one of those times. The hot water tank had given up the ghost, it had heated its last shower, it had warmed the last bit of water to wash the dishes. I was not about to camp for 10 days without hot water, so off to the camp office to see if they could recommend an RV technician who was willing to travel to us and fix it. Thank God we found one, but more of that in another post. I still had to go five more days without hot water.

The day after we arrived, a very dear friend of ours came to join us for the day with her daughter. It was wonderful. The weather was so hot that we just hung out at the pool like bums. Our friends were having so much fun we invited them to spend the night so we could do the same thing again the next day. Yep, hang out at the pool like bums. I did warn them that our couch is VERY uncomfortable and that we wake up VERY EARLY (I know Liz likes to sleep late). Still, they wanted to stay. OK, we still had no hot water so off to the bath house for our showers. The next day proved to be just as hot so the pool was very refreshing.

At the campground our site was along a deer trail and we had visitors day and night. The first night one kept coming toward me and all I wanted was a close-up shot. She, however, wanted food and must have thought I had some to give her. Here is shot of some of visitors while we were sitting at the fire.

More exciting news of our vacation to come. Until then...thanks for travelling along with us on The Thomas' Trails.
