We went through the blimp hanger for the toy donations today.  They moved the collection area to the end this time.  I think it worked better as the last part of the wait was inside the hanger so we could gawk more.

I took a before panoramic at my mom's house.  It was a lot of leaves but we got them picked up in a few hours.  We hauled 2 3/4 trailer loads to dump in my woods.

This was the lake in the campground.  It was a little cool, but we still had fun swimming.

We made pie iron pizzas for supper, after we went swimming in the lake.

June 8, 2018

We went on a weekend trip to a campground not too far away. 

August 22, 2017

Traffic on the way back home was just as bad as it was on the way south.  There were about 4 times as many cars heading north, away from the eclipse, as there were heading south.  We continued to see license plates from several states and Canada.

We went on a little road trip today.  The sunset was pretty on the way back.

March 5, 2015

We went to another convention to sell figures again.  Along the way, there is one section of road with dots, and signs that say don't tailgate, keep two dots between cars.  Two dots seems to be a rather large distance.

The view from our hotel.  The sugar maples here (southern Pennsylvania) still have colorful yellow leaves, while the ones around home are bare.  The convention is across the road at a resort.  The area along the road is really built up with shopping, hotels, and restaurants, yet behind them are large farm fields.

We've been really busy the last few weeks with our side business.  We're heading to a convention for it, to run Friday through Sunday.  We saw a few trees that were still yellow along the road in Pennsylvania.

We packed up and headed home today.

August 14, 2013

Our first night of vacation.  We made s'mores once the fire was going.  It's the first night we had the camper at a campground with hookups.  We thought it would be nice to be able to use the air conditioner, but it was too cold.  We brought along lots of extra blankets, and turned on the furnace in the mornings.  It was a nice campground, and even had concrete pads to park beside.

I put several pictures together to make a panoramic view from where we parked the camper for our first camping trip.  We're staying at the farm to put in hay this week.  My husband seemed nervous about the truck making it up the big hill pulling the camper (it was fine), I was a little more worried about encountering oncoming traffic on a narrow road around a hairpin turn (fortunately I didn't!).

May 11, 2013

We picked up our new camper today!  We liked this one because it's fairly small, yet has all kinds of things like a stove, bathroom, A/C, heat, and sleeps 7-8.  It has fold out queen beds on the ends and one side.

March 7, 2013

We took the back seats out of the van and loaded it up for the convention in Lancaster, PA.

July 24, 2012

On the way back home we traveled a bit on Skyline Drive.  I'm not sure how we can go on vacation when half the country is in a bad drought, and it rains on us most of the time.  Our van got more rain on it's roof the last few days than our house has had the last 4 months.  But we enjoyed the trip anyway.

July 23, 2012

We got to swim at Virginia Beach.

July 22, 2012

This was at Colonial Williamsburg.  They make bricks from this clay that needs to be kneaded.  It was really sticky, but my younger son enjoyed it. 

July 21, 2012

Evening at the hotel.  We visited a historical miniatures convention today.

July 20, 2012

Our first day of vacation.  We stopped in Cumberland, Maryland.  We visited a canal museum.
