DAYS 9-10: We Made It!
Our drive yesterday was pretty uneventful. If the weather had turned bad, we’d planned to stay at a campground in Selma, North Carolina. While it was raining, and hard at times, it wasn’t snowing and we were south of the freeze line. We stopped at the campground anyway to fill up on propane and I sure was glad we weren’t staying there. They still had plenty of snow on the ground and those poor RVs looked so lonely and cold there…
Somewhere in North Carolina, I looked up from my laptop and realized we’d gotten beyond the snow line! I was so excited!! As we kept heading south, the digital thermometer in the RV that measures the outdoor temperature kept getting higher and higher. When it hit 50, we were just about ecstatic! We got to our campground before dark and checked in. I later took the boys to the beach where they did their “We Made It!” dance.
We ordered pizza on Tuesday night, and watched Lost. Wednesday Richard’s busiest day of the week so we worked while Max did his schoolwork for the day. The boys got to play outside in the afternoon, which is something they wouldn’t be doing in Maine this time of year!
We got off early (at 5:00 p.m.) and went out to dinner, which was okay but nothing to shout about. We then went to a bookstore and out for ice cream. The boys were pretty happy about that! Everybody had a new book to read last night and I even bought some goodies for loved ones back in Maine. We’ll take a trip to the post office later this week so we can mail a package to them.
Today, Max is starting a new homeschooling theme about the Medieval Period in preparation for an outing we have planned for this trip.
