Last Night in Maine

Our final afternoon in Maine was spent riding bikes and playing at the playground. DH took each kid for a bike ride. I joined for one and then DH and I took a ride by ourselves while Nana took the kids to the playground. DH and I played there, too, for a bit, then decided to head back and get things ready for dinner. He had some tinkering to do with the grill before cooking. Nana took the kids for a walk to the lighthouses at the entrance of the KOA and to the store to "warm up". When they came back we started cooking and enjoyed a fine meal of steaks, fried potatoes and salad. Yum-o!

After dinner we packed some more. The more we can get done tonight, the less we need to do tomorrow. We want to roll out of here early tomorrow and we know that we will need to stop and empty the holding tank and fill the gas tank. DH had built a nice camp fire for us to enjoy, and we were all busy packing. He called us out to enjoy the fire, and aren't we glad we did!! We sat around the fire talking with our neighbors while the fire burned down to good s'more making coals. I toasted marshmallows for the kids' s'mores and for DH's and mine. While I was toasting Nana's marshmallow, a nasty wind started blowing. It looked pretty fierce, so I quickly burned up Nana's marshmallow (she likes them quite burned) and we started chucking everything into the RV. Then we had to clean it up, again, once we got in! The wind kept blowing and there were some rain drops as well. We abandoned the idea of going back outside. The kids and Nana read some books; DH worked on his pictures; and I read my book. Now it's time for the kids to go to bed. I guess we'll sit inside quietly until they are asleep, then we'll have our mojitos and chips and guacamole. Not a bad way to end a vacation!

Oh, our newest neighbor has a towing camper like we thought we might like to have and offered to give us a tour. It was bigger inside than we expected, but still a little smaller than we'd like. I think we'll rent for a while (AJ's has a towing camper that we could actually pull with the 4-Runner).

Good night for now!
