Upto April 19th

Well we arrived in Virginia the other day. Started off at Aquia Pines Camp Resort. When we made the reservations we specifically asked about the internet and the answer was yes we do and it is real good. Well first off it is considered off season so half the campgrounds things are not open but they are still charging full price of over $50 a night. The internet only worked if you were at the office no matter what they tried to say about it. There was no manager to be found and no way to contact them. Needless to say we did not stay past one night. We moved on down the road to Prince William Forest RV Campground. Price is almost $20 less a night. Granted it is only 30 amp but they are putting in a row with 50 amp. Getting in and out is WAY easier than Aquia. They not only try to cram you in an over priced piece of crap campground but they make you think there is nothing better. Prince William we will stay at anytime again. Everything is much better there. The internet works, the people working there are more friendly and well it is also cheaper. How much more do you want?
We got to see the oldest son (Joshua) and his wife (Erin), the granddaughter (Lisa) and the youngest son (Justin). We have not seen Justin since he graduated Basic about 6 yrs or so ago. He had been in Alaska, Iraq and then Korea.
We are leaving in the morning to head back to Michigan. It is supposed to take anywhere from 10 to 13 hrs to get there. 10 hrs if we want to try taking all the toll roads and 13 if we don't. Since some tolls charge by the axle including all the axles on a trailer we will not be taking toll roads. We will be in Michigan for a week and then heading back to California. No stops to see anyone this time so no way for anyone else to get mad at us when we just can't fit or just can't spend more than 2 days trying to hook up with anyone.
Thom will be happy to get back out there since he will be able to ride his motorcycle every day. He likes riding for several reasons including the one that when he rides then I have the truck to drive. Neither one of us can understand why people get a bike and then don't ride it. We see that all over.
