Lucas County

Today is our first day of the next adventure! We have had a rocky start today. We have had issues with the Cherokee and required new tires. This week has been really stressful so I need a vacation. However, we are ready to go. We load everything and everyone in to the motorhome and off we go. We are heading west towards Sarnia to take the Blue Water Bridge over to the United States. The weather is nice and sunny, the traffic is light. Just the way we like it.

We get to the border and get pulled over for inspection. This is the first time we have had this. My own fault really, I usually check the border patrol website for admissible foods and I didn’t. We had the dreaded chicken and eggs on board. There currently is a ban due to the H1N1 virus. The border people are really very nice and it doesn’t take too long to get on the road again.

Through Michigan and into Ohio for the night. We are staying in Perrysburg, Ohio tonight. We arrive very late, around 9:30 pm and we are both pretty tired. We are staying at a KOA (Kampgrounds of America). These are very nice campgrounds to stay at. They have everything you need and more. These campgrounds are great for one night or a week and for everyone from seniors to families. Many of them have pools, kid’s playgrounds, dog walking areas and the friendliest staff you ever want to meet. I like them because you can just phone ahead and reserve your spot and it is there when you arrive. Even if you don’t call ahead, they sometimes have spots available for drive in people.

So, we are here for one night. We open up the tip outs and set up in about 5 minutes. I have made a chili for dinner and that doesn’t take long to heat up either. We head off to bed around midnight. The boys are a little restless and they sleep with us tonight. (At least they got some sleep!)

The next morning we take the cats out for their walk. We are still fairly far north so the trees don’t have their leaves yet. It was cold last night so we had to turn on the heat. We have some breakfast and then head out.Baca lagi
