Two Parks

When one park isn't enough you go to two.

Water Fun

It has been so hot here, but there is nothing like a little water play.

Had to be short lived though, the mosquitoes were just too bad.

Great Falls National Park

Today we went to Great Falls National Park.  We were just in time to get to ride the Canal Boat.  The boat actually goes through one of the locks to go upstream and again to go downstream.

We had some lunch on the porch of the tavern and then went on the trail to the falls.

Trolley Museum

Yoginia is at her new job in Seattle and Erich has joined her to househunt.  We have Jayan and Deven staying with us.  Now, to keep them busy.  How about a trip to the National Capital Trolley Museum.

We even had story time.

Happy Birthday America

Hit the ground running.  We got back Sunday afternoon after a month of travel.  Having the family over for the 4th of July.  Happy and sad.  Erich, Yogini, Jayan and Deven will be moving to Seattle next month so these family get-togethers will not be the same.  But we have this one.

Food, cool Hot Tub, fireworks.  Happy 4th.

Home Sweet Home

Back to Maryland.

Hopefully we will be back on the road in late September/early October.

At our Home Campground, Wilderness

Well, we got to Wilderness RV Resort nice and early.  When we got to the site we were assigned we were stunned.There was no way our 33 foot motorhome was going into that site. Called the office and they gave us a new spot.  At first we were thrilled with what looked like a really nice site. Unfortunately it was impossible to get the coach level.  We spent a ridicules amount of time trying to level it.  We gathered scrap wood from fence construction, some old cement blocks, our supply of firewood and anything else we could find.  It was hopeless.  Being a holiday weekend sites were just not available.  I am sure someone with a travel trailer or maybe a shorter motorhome would be able to level.  The site was big, shaded and had a nice view of  one of the lakes.  We have been members here for almost 30 years and this is the first time we have had a problem with our site.  To add insult to injury, the power pedestal was only partially working.  But to give credit where credit is due, Bruce reported this to maintenance (of course after telling them he was an electrician) they replaced the faulty wiring right away.

It turned out to be very hot and dry.  This site was at a very busy intersection so every time a vehicle or golf cart went by there was a dust storm. Believe me there were a million golf carts going by.
This was suppose to be a chill out time and a chance to tidy up the coach and make sure the tanks were empty and in good shape to park the coach for a few months.  Not so much.
