Thursday morning we were up bright and early. Well, bright anyway. The sun was actually coming out so it looked like a nice day. We got all packed up and on the road to North Carolina. The drive down was uneventful until about half way down. It clouded up and started raining like mad! Hey, the weatherman said it would be nice today. I have a cover for the windshield that I put on when we tow the car. The only problem is that if it rains too heavy it drips into the car. I wind up with damp seats up front. Bummer.
We pulled into Stormy & Bryant's shop in the early afternoon. After a brief visit we drove down the road a bit to a big rig repair shop. They are going to order the compressor for the air conditioner and we will return when they have it in. That way we can have cool air in the RV when we cross the desert on the way to Calif.
We finally got into the base later in the afternoon. They stopped the RV for inspection but it didn't take long. We are parked in the same site we were in when we were here in July. Across from us was this -
Later that evening we went over to see the kids. Ashley, Phillip and Nelson were there. Nelson is looking good. He is almost 7 pounds and growing quickly. Such a sweet little boy.
On Friday we had a few little chores to do. We need to replace the tires on my car so today was devoted to checking prices. We also stopped into the commissary to pick up some extra peanut butter. I hear the price is going up and I have peanut butter on my muffin every morning. Oh, and we had to pay for our site at the campground.
We checked four different places for tires, the base, WalMart, Sears and a Firestone store. The Sears or WalMart would be good since we could get problems taken care of anywhere across the country. The Firestone and Exchange would make that difficult. But the base has a much lower price than everyone else so I think that is where we will get them. They are even having a sale next week.
We stopped at Panera bread for lunch and had a nice soup and half sandwich meal. It has been a long time since we have stopped at Panera. We will have to try to stop there more often.
We spent the rest of the day at the campground. Parking is tight and someone pulled in across from us in the afternoon. We had to move the car and watch the front of the rig when he pulled in.
Have a good day
