"Just" another family weekend

Something I don't want to take for granted.  It's a bit amazing in this age of connectivity that all four of us still looked forward to being disconnected (maybe not totally) and away - with each other.  This weekend we were at Pine Hill RV Park, in Kutztown,  Pa. Between route 78 and old 22 we were backed up to a small farm with a llama,  horse,  donkey and a few dogs as their pets, and our entertainment. Road noise from 78 would bother country folk, but not us urban dwellers. It was pretty peaceful.
We toured Yuengling brewery, climbed Hawk Mountain, and drove some beautiful country side. Ate a few interesting meals, and didn't quite finish a bottle of 2012 Cayuga from Pinnacle Winery - a mile from our campsite.
But the best part - we were together with no life interruptions to take us away.
With the girls (and myself) getting older, don't know how many more weekends we will still have together like that.

Relaxing - but connected

Was able to stay in bed late till 7:30a, then took a walk with Molly, enjoying the stillness of the morning.  I'm not one to have to be on the water (unless in a cruise ship) but enjoy being near and around the shore. Having a site facing the Bush River - part of the Chesapeake - is wonderful. Actually fell asleep in my chair on the patio just watching the waterfowl glide and play on the water.
Lazing around ended when I saw my mail server was having issues at work. Troubleshot to the best of my ability and then reported the errors to my server support vendor.  At the same time church texted that the audio recording pc bit the dust. Always sonething...

Enjoying First weekend of spring

Beautiful Saturday. Slept late, Yoder's for breakfast,  and thrift shopping for most of the day. Afternoon napping in a camp chair in the sun. Dinner at the downstairs luncheonette at Shady Maple.  This. Is. Camping.
