Sunday, 29 April
Would love to have stayed to take advantage of the nice day, but site 71 is very popular and it is near impossible to get late check-out. There is always some other rig anxiously waiting in the wings to get in and get set up. So, we tucked our tail between our tires and headed out at 10:15a (check out is at 11:00a).
After an uneventful 32-mile (51 km) drive, we pulled into storage and put the Phaeton to bed for the next 10 days. Yes, she gets to rest up next weekend as we have no plans to go camping. That doesn’t mean we won’t go out and do something fun, but we’ll just have to wait and see. After all, we were out more days gallivanting in the Phaeton this month than we were at the stix & brix, and there are chores that need tending.
On the way home, we detoured over to Bull Run Regional Park, found a quiet shelter not far from the entrance, and had a quick bite to eat. I guess you could say that we wanted to make sure we had at least one al fresco meal this weekend. Afterwards, we went for a long walk — got to get my 10,000 steps in ;-)
That’s it for today. No photos, I’m afraid; just a wrap up post. If all stays quiet on the “work front” I hope to finish posting our Smokies vacation. So, stay tuned.
Enjoy your quiet week at home...hehe
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to leave just when the sun was coming out. I hate when that happens.
ReplyDeleteBUT only 214 days and you can book a couple of weeks in sites you like and then you are bound to have lots of good days.
Would love to know how you got that great slide show to post on Blogger.
I've only seen folks with word press do that.
The first step is to have an album/gallery with all the photos you want to feature in the slideshow (although some of the default options allow for keyword or user based photo selections, too). Mine is based on an album. Once you have the album, you then go to the layout of your blog and add the Slideshow Gadget. There are a couple of defaults, like Picasa Web Albums and Flickr, or you can use Other, which is what I did since my galleries are hosted on SmugMug. If you choose other, you need to provide a feed link. You can also set the speed and decide if you want the photos to be displayed randomly or not.
DeleteMurphy's Law at work again....sorry the sun decided to come out just as you were leaving!! Glad you arrived home safely and hope the upcoming week is a quiet and peaceful one for you guys!
ReplyDeletewelcome home..a nice weekend is done again!..have a good work week!
ReplyDeleteThe sun will probably shine all work week :) Hope the week goes smoothly and the chores easily tended so you can play again soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home okay - want to get caught up with your Smokies trip. Not having reliable internet while we travel puts a crimp in my reading and blogging. I'm still paying catch-up too even though we are home.
