We left home around 12:30 PM and headed to the campground. We made a pitstop at the Exxon on Route 29 North, just past Altavista. We had no incidents on the road except for one individual that decided to pull out in front of us, but we were watching and avoided a collision. We used about a 1/2 tank of gas and the transmission tempature reached 144 degrees and it was in the 70's outside.
We arrived at the campground and were greeted by the camp hosts, Tony and Sara. Tony escorted us to our site and we started our setup. Amy and I work as a team and start on the outside and get it all set up and then we move inside. The tree is always up and the memory ornaments are up to 24 now. Red rope lights to outline our site and in case of cooking after dark, we have dimmable lights on the front of the camper. Outdoor kitchen is up and working fine.
For supper we had a Salmon and Veggie bowl with Zucchini Fries and Potato Salad.
Salmon and Vegetable Bowl
Ingredients
2 cans of Members Mark Salmon (not the kind used for patties.)
1 box of Green Giant Riced Cauliflower
1 box of Green Giant Vegetables
1 tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon G. Hughes Cluckin Sauce
Directions
Open cans of Salmon and drain, rinse several times to get as much brine and salt off.
Cook the 2 boxes of Green Giant in microwave as direceted.
Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir until mixed. (Heat from veggies will warm salmon)
Server in 2 bowls and enjoy.
After supper and cleaning up, we started a fire in our homemade fire pit. This is made from a wash tub out of an old washing machine. It is ceramic and has plenty of air flow which cuts down on the smoke. Amy is roasting her marshmallow to eat on a s'more.
The first s'more of the season is always a good one and here is mine. Cinnamon gramham cracker with Ghirardelli square of dark chocolate and caramel and a roasted marshmallow. Yes it puts a smile on my face.
FRIDAY
We slept in this morning until 8AM and did not feel one bit guilty about it. It was nice to be able to sleep until we were ready to get up instead of having an alarm go off. We had wraps for breakfast with egg and bacon with grapes on the side.
We spent the day just hanging out at the campground. We walked laps, talked, played on our phones, read our devotionals and just did whatever we wanted. We also went down and talked to Sara and Tony for a bit, they are such nice folks.
We also looked around at other sites and if we cannot get the one we have now, #23 would be our pick.
I put kindling and a homemade fire starter in the fire pit. We have company coming for supper and I wanted it ready to cook hot dogs.
My daughter and her family came over to spend the evening with us and we had hot dogs, fries, chips, potato salad and cole slaw. We had homemade strawberry cobbler cooked in the cast iron Dutch oven over coals, for dessert.
We roasted marshmallows to make s'mores.
Played corn hole.
