I was just anxious to get on the road to complete the last 230 miles to "home", the Woodsmoke RV Campground, just two miles from grandsons Andrew and Owie's house. We haven't seen them for a couple of months.
Today was Sunday and in the past, before we hit the road, it was always a sad day. Sundays were the day that we had to leave our busy, "relaxing" weekend in the campground and head home to start another stressful work week. Perspectives change, we lived for weekends, now we find them a bit annoying.
We actually have to share the campgrounds with those "weekenders" who are cramming a great time into less than 48 hours. How rude. ;c)
We hit the road and were amazed to see all the weekend campers speeding down the highway on the way home. It was a sad sight to see.
That used to be us. Now it is no longer. Everything we went through to get to the full time life that we're loving was worth it. And seeing Andrew and Owie running to greet us was the best part.
Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.
That was me on the way home from yet another weekend trip where something broke... :)
ReplyDeleteSome day we'll make a trip where we won't have to report on what broke this time. I hope that happens soon, getting sick of posting negativity. :(
Have a great week!

And why were you traveling on a Sunday with all the week-end traffic? Don't you know that Mondays are much better days to move on down the road? But I know you were excited to get "home" and get your hands on those grandbabies.
ReplyDeleteMarti only had one cup of coffee? I don't blame her for giving you the "stink eye". I agree with Sandie. Wait for Monday when all the other folks are already back to work.
ReplyDeleteThe weekend warriors, sure are nice folks, but we sure look forward to Sunday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteyes those darn weekend warriors..hey that's us!..and we don't like it one bit!..by the way they did a news story here in BC and said that coffee drinkers live longer!..more days of the stink eye for you my friend!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have arrived safe and sound. Enjoy the boys and time with the family!!!
ReplyDeleteAs I sit here reading this on Monday morning..**sigh**, I can't wait until the weekends are just another day of the week :)
ReplyDeleteI think maybe you deserved the stink eye!
ReplyDeleteI kept thinking about you yesterday- we drove 440 miles our longest travel day yet :). I don't know how you do those long days. Enjoy your time with family.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky it was only the stink eye. :)
ReplyDeleteSure can relate to those feelings yesterday. Those weekends just never seem to last long enough when you are working. 23 days left for us to retire and hit the road. Sure looking forward to not having to think about weekends and vacations ending so fast. Have a GREAT visit with the Kids.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you two. You have worked hard for years .... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful isn't it to not care what day of the week it is. But it's also true that week-ends have become the time we actually like the least because they are the busiest everywhere. Circumstances change and preferences change. Life is nothing if not constant change. Enjoy those Grandboys. I know you will!
ReplyDeleteIt is tough sharing the campground with those weekend warriors. I guess now that includes us:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it safely to SC. Enjoy your time with the grandkids.
ReplyDelete192 days later, we'll be joining you down the freeway as non-weekenders :-)))
ReplyDeleteI get that same look from Sheryl when shes not ready to get up....lol
ReplyDeleteWe love to sit back and enjoy watching the weekend warriors set up ~ party ~ then break down & leave. Like you that use to be us but now we paid our dues and we enjoy watching them do it... but now we think ~ that was a lot of work for 2 or 3 days of fun! LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteHave fun & Travel safe
