We left home at 7:10 am on Friday morning to head out for a short weekend trip. We had packed up most things the night before with only 2 suitcases and a cooler to pack before leavning. We drove to Ridgeway and ate breakfast at Clarences Steakhouse. I had the tenderloin and eggs and Amy had bacon and eggs. The tenderloin was really good and I had enough left over to make two biscuits that we had for lunch. Our next stop was Rockingham for a short bathroom break and another cup of coffee. Just past Bennetsville is MacArthur Farms and that was our second stop. We purchased some fresh apples, potatos and a pumpkin to have for the weekend. We left the farm and headed to Schulers BBQ and Trading Post. Here we found some Muscadine Grape Juice, which is difficult to find, and purcahsed 3 bottles. I also purchased some Charleston Chews and BBQ for supper. We arrived at the campground around 2pm, after we had picked up groceries at WalMart.
Here is what our campsite looked liked before we unpacked and decorated for the weekend.
And now here is an after look. We hung ghosts up around the porch with orange lights. We put Bob Bones in his chair with our sign welcoming all to the campsite.
After we set up camp, we headed to the beach to take a walk and pick up a few shells.
The weather was really nice and if it had not be so late (5pm) Amy would have gotten into the water. We walked about 2 miles and according to Fitbit, we burned off over 500 calories. We were both hungry when we got back to camp, so I started supper. We had BBQ from Schulers, French Fries from fresh white potatoes and smores.
We both just sat around the campfire and talked, read Facebook and watched the kids around camp trying to scare each other. We later carved our pumpkin and lit him up.
We both turned in about 10am.
