Final outing for 2015

Where we have RV'd
The RV is put to bed for the year.  We took a short trip to the Eastern Shore, visiting Onacock and Cape Charles.  Had a filling lunch at the Onacock General Store, but everyone just calls it Janet's.  The trip was to interview our Juror and Judge for the upcoming Art Speaks on the Bay Show.  Hopefully, we will be able to do some courier service in the spring to pick up some artwork.  There are so many artists on the Eastern Shore, it's ridiculous!

We are in the midst of planning our summer trip for next year.  Our plan is to go to the Canadian Rockies.  We went there when we were much younger (before kids) and loved it.  We will probably have a spring trip, as well but we don't have any destinations in mind.    We will definitely see Michigan, Wisconsin and South Dakota on our Rockies trip. We have two interestingly missed states: Missouri and Rhode Island.

Today, we bought a Christmas present for the RV -  New Vanity Plates - CN PLCS.  We will post pictures once the plates arrive.

Staunton River State Park - Scottsburg, VA

It was sort of a foliage trip.  None of the leaves had changed colors in Viginia Beach when we left and there were no leaves on the trees when we got to Staunton River...therefore with deductive reasoning (or maybe inductive reasoning - I'm sure either of our sons would know which is correct) we saw Viginia's fall foliage.  When we got here, we went for a great walk along the river.  Drex saw a deer and gave chase (Drex, note to self...way too old for that stuff).  They sell firewood for $.50 a stick, and after the fire disaster at Greyson-Highlands (90 minutes of smoke and never a flame), Deb deserved it.  I had enough money for 7 sticks.  After an hour or so, Deb gives me a fiver, and with her best little girl voice asked if she could have just a little bit more (signs of a true campfire junkie).

Well, this has been a Type B trip...go where the wind takes us...and last night the wind brought rain...so the wind is taking us home.
