Back to NJ

This has been a traveling week, for sure! We left Punta Gorda, FL on Monday morning, and it is now Saturday afternoon as we are pulling into our spot in NJ for the next couple of months or so. That’s 1445 miles in five days of driving. We tried to keep the mileage closer to 200 miles a day rather than 300, and we accomplished that for the most part, with the exception of our first day which was over 300 miles. Sometimes you have to go a little farther to get to a campground.

On Tuesday we pulled into Little Tallapoosa Park in Carrollton, GA. We really like this little county park. It boasts pull through wooded sites, full hookups with 50 amp service, horse trails for the equine set, and even a splash pad for little ones. But the big draw for us was our good friends, Mike and Retha, who were there for the week. We haven’t seen them in a year and a half,  and it was so good to see them again even though it was a short visit. We hung out at their campsite with their seven Japanese Chins, and were even treated to a yummy Chinese food dinner at a local restaurant. Bob and I are really hoping we don’t go another 18 months without seeing them again.

The rest of our trip was uneventful (a good thing!) but traveling every day gets tiring. So why did we do it? We miss the kids and grandkids too much to dilly-dally on our last part of the trip.

We look forward to visiting with family and taking the grandchildren on a camping trip this summer. And seeing friends, too!
