Heading home

Time has come to head home for a while to check on Mom, take care of a few medical things, fix this & that and plan our next trip. Left Boothbay about 8am Sunday.

We stopped by Bourne, MA to visit with Art & Peggy Neves. They drove to the campground from their home on the Cape. We had a wonderful time catching up with each others lives.

The Bourne Scenic Park, a municipal campground , is right on the Cape Cod Canal. There is a paved multi-use path running along the canal. Took a nice walk. Our campsite is right under the bridge in the picture. No shortage of traffic noise, sirens, helicopters, etc. Nice enough for one night but next time I would make a different choice.

Drove to Alex's house in Annandale, VA on Monday. Visited with Alex & Jennifer & families. Left to drive home on Friday morning.

We had a very enjoyable trip. Our longest to date.

Need some time in Ft. Pierce to catch up on stuff, take care of some RV & house repairs, visit with Mom and plan another trip.

Boothbay, Lazy Daze Rally

On Wednesday we drove to Boothbay, Maine for the Northeast Lazy Daze Caravan Club Fall Rally. There were 36 LD's there. The biggest rally to date. On Thursday night we had "stone" soup. Stone soup is based on a tale about two peasants who had no food for their children so made soup by putting a stone in a pot of water. A person passing by saw this and put a carrot in the pot. Another passerby added a potato, etc., until finally the family had a nice pot of soup. To make Stone Soup everyone brings a can of vegetable stock plus something else to add to the soup. After a while you have a large pot of very tasty soup. On Friday night we had the traditional Pot Luck supper. Saturday was the lobster cookout. Two lobsters per person, streamer clams, corn on the cob, roasted onions & blueberry cake. All cooked at the campground. We had the most wonderful time catching up with our old friends and making new ones. We're hosting the annual Southeast Group Lazy Daze rally at Hanna Park, Jacksonville, FL, in March of next year. A lot of the people who were at Boothbay, winter in Florida so will be at Hanna Park.
