Indiana Weekend

Just had a great weekend trip in the trailer.

We had planned a while back to go out last weekend to celebrate the beginning of summer, and as the time rolled around we also decided to send out an invite to anyone who wanted to come join us for as long as they could stand. At first, the response was slow but with a little prodding we managed to get several different people to join us at various times through the weekend. And we are pleased to say, no major disasters and everyone seemed to really have a good time - here's hoping for more such events in the future!

We arrived late Friday morning at Follow the River. This was our second trip here - and we are loving it more and more. It's just the right distance for a weekend away from home, it's an easy drive towing the trailer, it's big and open...which isn't always what you want, but it was perfect for us this time around. We know which spaces are nice and wide and shaded, so we requested one of our favorites. It was not at all busy there, but not deserted either.

After hooking up and eating lunch, I took the big girls to Coyote Creek Farm to buy some buffalo meat - the buffalo weren't out so we didn't get to see any, but we loaded up on future meals. It's a beautiful drive, but still only about 10 minutes from the RV park. A great discovery from last time.

Our first guests arrived late Friday afternoon - we had a great time hanging out, letting the kids play at the great playground (another plus for this RV park, by the way), eating fajitas, and then making smores by the campfire. We hope that they had as good a time as we did, and that they will join us again.

Saturday morning we took it easy, made a quick convenience store run for some odds and ends, walked around the park, and waited for our second guests. They arrived before lunch, we had a standard picnic lunch of sandwiches and whatnot, then the big girls and our friends got to go swimming in the pool - again, score one for Follow the River - great clean pool...which is not always the case at RV parks. Our guests stayed for a long long time and we all had a great time - thanks for coming guys!

Lastly, P & G came out for the evening - I made chili and we rode bikes around the park, around the great little hike/bike path, had another fire and more smores...had cake to celebrate P's birthday - just a great time.

We love taking the trailer out - we love RVing. Whenever you go out in that thing, it's a multitude of disasters waiting to happen...so when things come off well, you appreciate it that much more. And we hope we've laid the groundwork for a lot of good future trips and future visits from friends and family. I'll try to upload some pics here soon.

Hilton Head is less than 2 weeks away!
