We invited my inlaws to come with us and followed us from frontier town I think it was about a 3 hours drive and we have to stop 30 miles out because I had to use the bathroom. We took the bay bridge tunnel from eastern shore Va and that always a nice ride. I can't believe how long that thing is. If you ever get the chance to go over its defiantly cool.
We got to the KOA around lunch time Paul set up the trailer with his father while my mother inlaw and I took the kids to the " bouncy pillow". This KOA had two, one for 7 and under, and one for 7 and up. I though that was really nice because once the big kids get on them things they send my kids flying. I really wish Harpers Ferry KOA had that, then I wouldn't have to be biting my finger nails the whole time. If theres to many bigger kids on it I wont let them get on at all because it freaks me out.
We were in a row with 5 other campers that were all together and they were all apparently firefighters that camp in 5th wheels. They were all older couples maybe in their 50s or 60s so needless to say our row was very peaceful. I think that was one of the quietest places we've ever stayed, I'm sure we will go back there again.
We all got in the pool later that afternoon and did marshmallows that night. The next day we went to historic Williamsburg where our history lesson turned into a shopping trip. Im not a big history nut I think its interesting but could take it or leave it. My mother inlaw doesn't really care about historic places and thinks its boring. My husband and his father are very big into history and like to go to the places and look at the statues and read all the plaques. So Paul was a little disappointed when we saw a bunch of shops and Mrs Ann went to look. It turned out to be an ok trip either way it was just hot. We bought bus tickets so we wouldn't have to walk the 20 minutes back to the car.
After we left there we did a family reunion at Aunt Frans for a couple of hours and Aunt Abby and Uncle Ed stopped by. I was having a heart attack the entire time because Aunt Fran has a lot of very nice , and breakable, things in her house and I was worried that the kids would brake something. We went to Fridays for dinner and almost froze to death then we went to the Yankee candle store. That store is huge and it doesn't just have Yankee candles in it either. They have a toy store, a candy store, a place to get wax hands, a christmas part, book store, a fudge shop, a popcorn candy apple store, and some random things. It just so happened that Santa Claus was in the christmas part talking to kids and recording their names in a big book with what they want for christmas. It also snows in the christmas part every couple of minutes and they have huge decorated trees.
After that we took a trip to Walmart and decided we wanted to buy bikes for Paul and I to ride with the kids. I was absolutely horrible at riding a bike and Paul made fun of me because I could balance on them. Jp and Mckenzie are better at riding bikes then I am and there 5 and 3. By the time we got back to the campsite Paul was annoyed because he hates shopping while were camping, and it was dark and couldn't ride the bikes after all.
The next Morning we packed up to leave and headed up to the Shannondoah Valley. Mrs Ann and Mr Lee left us to head home and we were meeting my parents there. Took us about 2 hours to get there
