Time to go home


We got up fairly early and had coffee. I made our first breakfast in our new camper. Scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. The great outdoors creates a appetite. After breakfast it was time to pack things up. Had a time trying to figure out the awning again. I think we got it down now. Packed up and went to the dump station and emptied out. There was only a few campers there this time of the year so we had our pick of the spots. It is a nice campground and will stay again sometime. We had a relaxing time.

Our second night at Kestlewoods campground




On our second day we had to go back home because I left my insulin at home. So on our way back home we stopped at the rv show in Cadillac, Mi. We picked up a few things. We stopped home and then went back to our campground. It was in the 60's during the day. We had hotdogs for lunch. And then Dan took a nap. I went out to the picnic table and got on my computer. We could not get the wifi in our camper. Dan got up and we went up to the little camp store and picked up a few things.They had these really good good humor ice cream cones. Half chocolate and half vanilla with chocolate on top and nuts. We then went back to camp and started a bonfire. Had great intentions on making pizza pockets in the little sandwich makers that you can get for the bonfire. I washed them up and stuck them in the fire to get them warm and one of them melted. Can you believe that? They are metal! So we started up the grill and had hamburgers. We sat outside and played yahtzee by the bonfire while our hamburgers were cooking on the grill. After we ate we went to the shower house instead of using ours and took our showers. They had pretty descent shower rooms. Then back to the camper and played a little more yahtzee and watched cops and had our yummy ice cream cones. Then to bed again fairly early.

Our first time camping with our new travel trailer

We finally got to try out our new travel trailer. We had most everything packed on Thursday September 20th and just had a few things on Friday. We started out after we got off of work. On our way out we realized we had no lights and figured out the the plug cover on the truck was missing so our plug from the camper was not staying connected. We wedged it in until we got there. We stayed at Kestelwoods campground in Wellston, MI. When we set up I had forgot how to set up the awning so that was frustrating. We figured it out though.  We did not get all set up until around 7:30 pm so we just had pizza that we picked up for dinner. I used the shower which was nice, but I think I want to get a wrap around shower rod. I had water on the floor when I was done. Thats where a glass door shower comes in handy. We just sat inside and played a little yahtzee and then laid in bed and watched a little tv and feel asleep around 10:30.

Our new camper

Well we finally did it. We recently purchased this 2012 Amerilite 21 Mb LE travel trailer. It is small but I really like it. It's all you need really unless you are going for months at a time. Here it is in our back yard.
