Once upon a time there was a little girl who wasn't afraid of anything and one time her family went on a Red-Neck RV trip.
Day two took the family through THREE states. They left dear old Pennsylvania and traveled through a little bit of West Virginia, ALL of Ohio, and most of Indiana. They stopped for a few stretch breaks and a very nice picnic lunch, but mostly they stayed in the RV and played games or watched movies or slept.
The family arrived at the KOA location around 5:30 and first thing, checked out the play park. It was the "best ever!" They had a cool play set and 3 donkeys! Aunt Lesa played with the kids while Daddy and Mommy got dinner ready. Dinner was a lovely feast of spaghetti and sauce with garlic bread. Yumm-O! After dinner they cleaned up the camper and then the kids put on their pumpkin headbands that they made in the morning and went Trick or Treating (only at our RV). After treats, the kids got into jammies and into their sleeping bags. Mom, Dad and Lesa stayed outside to enjoy the fresh air while the kids went to sleep.
Tommorrow should be a short travel day. Only 2 states to cross.

Day One
Once upon a time there was a little girl who wasn't afraid of anything, and one day she and her family went on a Red-Neck RV trip.
They left their nice home in Dillsburg, PA and loaded up into a 31 foot long driving camper. They left after school on Tuesday, Oct 30th. They drove to Bedford, PA where they picked up Daddy's cousin Lesa and then continued on to Washington, PA. They parked their RV at the KOA and got ready to "camp". The little girl, her brother, and "Aunt" Lesa played at the play park while Mommy and Daddy got things settled in the RV and dinner into the oven. By the time they got cleaned up and back to the RV dinner was ready and it was "best the camping dinner ever!" After dinner, Daddy started a fire and we had smores. And that was the "best camping trip ever!" After smores, it was time to get ready for bed. The little girl got into her jammies and snuggled into her sleeping bag on the bed above the RV cab. Her brother got into his jammies and snuggled into his sleeping bag on the bed that was the table. Mommy, Daddy and "Aunt" Lesa sat outside by the fire for a while (waiting patiently for the VERY tired children to fall asleep) and then they piled into the back bedroom for quiet activities - reading, beading, working by Blackberry....until it was time to snuggle into THEIR sleeping bags and go to sleep. "Aunt" Lesa slept on the bed that was the couch. At some point in the night, the little girl got very cold and came down from her bed above the RV cab and slept between Aunt Lesa and Brother Josh on the beds that were table/couches.
In the morning, Daddy made a YUMMY breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Then it was time to get on the road again. Off to Indiana.

Holy Cow - it's been 6 months!
How did that happen? Wow, time really does fly.
I guess I was just super-do-dooper busy this summer. That, and there may not have been too many blog-worthy events that occured.
I am pleased to inform you that a VERY blog-worthy event will begin tomorrow:
THE HOFFNER FAMILY RED-NECK ROAD TRIP!
We're loading the family into a 31' RV and heading out to Missouri for Aunt Heidi's weddin'. I'll try to post daily about our adventures. Check back often!
