Spring Turns A Retiree's Fancy To Thoughts Of Camping - #16

Winter is now officially behind us according to the calendar; today is the first day of spring and what a glorious day!  The forecast for the upcoming week is promising as well. The sun is bright, warming and I just want to get moving! All I can think about is getting on the road!

I haven't seen my mom, who will be 96 this May, in over a year. Living in Maryland makes it challenging  to visit as often as I would like. It will be great to also visit with my sister and brother-in-law and see my nephew and wife and their girls, who all reside in Maryland.  I am working on a trip to visit the beginning of June for a couple of weeks; just taking our time, traveling to and from will probably take us about a week or so and at our destination, we will be camping at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD for 5 nights. This is a great cityish campground we have stayed at before and we really love it! When we drive to MD by car, we can usually make the trip easily in 8 or 9 hours - depending on the amount of stops. When towing your trailer, you need to be a little more cautious and go slower. We like to stop and smell the roses, so to speak and there is no way I want to spend all day sitting in a truck. I have been looking into places to stop and stay both going and returning; it will be a combination of boondocking and campgrounds.  I will need to make some tentative calls to make sure spots will be available for overnights.


With other activities filling our calendar, it's amazing how quickly our summer schedule is filling up!
