2nd Trip Fall of 2010

We were home for two weeks and then hit the road again. This time we headed for Lancaster, PA. Our truck and trailer seems like a big rig until we pull into a rest stop and park next to the 18 wheelers. But we enjoy having our home with us where ever we go.

Our next stop was in Lexington, Kentucky. We parked at a campground 20 miles south of Lexington at a place called Camp Nelson. Our trailer was backed up to a canyon wall that rose over 70 ft. During the Civil War a large military camp occupied this location on the Kentucky River. It was an interesting place.
After completing our second convention we were able to spend several days in Chattanooga with Kristy and Brian. We enjoyed a special blessing by being able to see the play that Kristy directed this fall. Here is Kristy with some of her cast members at Cici's Pizza for a lunch that we were able to share.
That night we had great seats to see "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night." It was a hilarious play! Here is Kristy with her full cast.
From Chattanooga we headed for Orlando, Florida to exhibit at our final convention of the season. We camped again at our favorite Turkey Lake campground and enjoyed some warmer weather. After the convention we moved to the Tampa area where we stayed at the very impressive Lazydays Campground. Then on Thanksgiving Day we headed for our favorite Thanksgiving Day restaurant -- Mimi's Cafe. This is the fourth city where we have enoyed Mimi's for Thanksgiving. They do an outstanding job.

On the day after Thanksgiving we discovered a delightful Christmas tree lighting event at the Hyde Park neighborhood of Tampa. It was a beautiful evening at a very picturesque place.
The community put on a wonderful program of Christmas carols and family oriented entertainment. Connie said that it was like being in one of those TV Christmas movies.
After our short stay in the Tampa area we headed back north toward home. On the way home we stopped for fuel at a Flying J and saw this guy perched in the window of a big motorhome. It was good to get home and to park the Laredo in our driveway for awhile. But we'll be ready to go again...
