Lenny's birthday


Today is Lenny's birthday, and he spent the morning fishing in the Potomac River with his friend Leon. They caught a 17-pound, 37 inch striped bass (aka Rock Fish). This afternoon they've gone to the recycle center - man stuff ;-) Paula is fixing part of the fish for Lenny's birthday supper - followed by a chocolate chip birthday cake! We're having a wonderful visit.


The first part of our trip was mostly uneventful. We abandoned our original plan and stayed at Walmart in Brunswick, GA instead of Jacksonville and Sam's Club in Lumberton, NC instead of Manning, SC. That left a very short day to reach Raleigh, where we spent lots of time with Lenny's father, his friend Montez, and Lenny's sister Sunny. Lenny also reworked the auxilliary lights on the van so we now have new lights for our towed vehicle and a better cable to connect them to the RV.


It was amazing how many motor homes and camping trailers we saw going north on I-95 in the mornings. Then about 2 PM they all disappeared - settled early for the night, I guess. It seems it's Spring up north and the snowbirds are headed home. Does that include us?????


Tomorrow we'll have a long day skirting Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia, finally reaching Hatfield, PA where we'll be camping for two nights.
