Once we left Lake Texoma, in North Texas, we headed to Louisiana and spent the night at Antique Village RV Park in Simsboro, LA. This is a small park, but lovely. We had a pull-thru site with a view of the pond.
We spent April 12th on the road traveling through Louisiana and Mississippi and finally over-nighting at a Super Wal-Mart in Pell City, Alabama. We don't usually stay at Wal-Marts, but there wasn't a Cabela's and the campgrounds were too far off the beaten path.
April 13th was a long driving day. David and I took turns trading off with the driving effort. We were able to get through Alabama and all the way to Statesboro, Georgia. In Georgia we stayed at Parkwood RV & Cottages Park. The park is not too big, but the sites are pull through and well groomed. Our plan is to stay five nights to give us time to visit with my sister and also visit the Savannah area. Originally I was hoping to visit with my nephew and his wife, both are in the Army and currently stationed at Fort Stewart in Georgia. However, due to their training schedules, we weren't able to see them this trip, although we do plan to return in November.
We were able to spend some time with my sister, Linda, I haven't seen her for such a long time. We started our visit with "FOOD." She directed us to a really nice Mexican food restaurant, and the food was great, El Sombreros
The next day we are going for pedicures and manicures. It's always a relaxing time for me.
Savannah, GeorgiaSaturday April 15th, we spent touring Savannah with my sister, Linda. David & I have been here before and did the trolley tour. It's like the best way to get around. We took the trolley that allows you to get on and off at stops along the route throughout the day.
Our stay in Georgia was wonderful, but the goal is to continue up the coast, toward our summer "nest," in Maine. We left Georgia on April 18th and stopped overnight at the Fayetteville RV Resort. The property was very well kept and everyone was friendly. |
| You know when you're in VIRGINIA! |
Williamsburg, Virginia
We stopped in Williamsburg for a three day, two night stay. Our friends Don & Jane Lockhart were already at the Thousand Trails Williamsburg RV Camping Park. We were able to enjoy a lovely dinner with them at Fat Tuna Grill, an excellent choice by Don & Jane.
Let's Eat!
The next day David & I did the self tour of Colonial Williamsburg. Parking was very easy, you just drive to the Williamsburg Visitor center, park and inside the visitor center you can select the type of tour that interests you and catch the bus at the center. The bus will take you to the Colonial Williamsburg grounds and also return you to the visitor center when you are ready. Great set-up!

Crossing and traveling through the Bay Bridge Tunnel in our motorhome was an experience. You actually travel through two tunnels. It was a beautiful route to the Eastern Shore area of Virginia and Maryland. If you have propane, you can be heavily fined for driving your motorhome through the Bay Bridge and Tunnels (according to current law), but in recent years the port authority just stops you and asks that the propane tanks are shut off. (It will probably be that way until the next major terrorist attack on America, when they will tighten up enforcement of the law, again). This is one of the reasons we went all electric with our new motorhome.
We ended our stay in Virginia spending a few nights at the Thousand Trails Virginia Landing campground.
The campground is a little ways off the freeway, but well worth it, as it's a nice relaxing place to stay, with the Atlantic Ocean a hundred feet away from our front door. It could be a good place to spend a week when we head down the coast, in the Fall.
We enjoyed the view and a nice Sunday afternoon drive.
