October 6 — October 9, 2006
The last camping trip of the season :(. We headed out on Friday in the middle of a nor’easter. Not the best time to go, but we wanted to get out on the road and setup with the hope that the weather would turn on Saturday. We ended up with the best spot in the campground for the weekend, our camper opened up right to the swimming lake. The campground was virtually empty, so it was a relatively quiet weekend. We liked the spot so much, we tried to book it for any week next year. After the folks at the front desk stopped laughing, they did find us another spot right by the lake which is almost as nice (it’s even a pull-through site) for a week next year.
Saturday was also a relative wash-out. While not necessarily raining, it was cloudy and damp and windy all day. We setup a campfire early in the afternoon and the kids played inside all day. Only breaking to head out and fix the flat on the car. Not sure what happened there, but by the time we got to the campground Friday night, the tire was completely flat.
Me-mom and Pop-pop came down on Sunday and we headed out to Cape May Zoo which is right down the road. The weather on Sunday and Monday turned out absolutely gorgeous. Before hitting the zoo, a heated basketball game broke out between the team of Andrew/Me-mom and Matt/Pop-pop. Not sure who won (or even if a basket was scored). I’m sure that Me-mom and Pop-pop paid for that on Monday.
