The start of the Celebration...











Well, we have left for our annual anniversary trip This year, we are traveling to Capitola California. It is out by the California Coast. We left as soon as I got home from work on Thursday night. We made it as far as KMart shopping center just outside of Felton, which is the city of our actual camping destination. We arrived at Kamp K-Mart after the store had closed so, we cruised around the parking lot to see if we could find an out of the way spot. As luck would have it, back behind the stores, we found a motor home already parked. It was a very nice couple who have been on the road for the last 25 months, seeing all of the stuff we would eventually like see our selves. The rig they were driving was our dream rig. It was 38 feet with four slide outs. They were very nice 'Normal' folks just like us! :-)

On Friday morning, we went and had breakfast at a restaurant called Grumpy's which was in the K-mart shopping center. It was a two person operation, a cook and a waitress. They were a well oiled machine. The good was great and the service was timely! After breakfast, we then went and bought some things at the K-Mart and Dollar tree so that we were supporting the establishments that provided the fine over-nite parking. Also next to the back parking lot was a dog park. It gave us a chance to get Lilly out for a run. There was one dog there that was very aggressive and kept attacking Lilly. As a result, we didn't stay there very long. Though the guy and his dog left, Lilly just wasn't in the mood to do 'Wild dog', so we called that visit short. After the dog park, we went across the street to the local Safeway store. The parking lot was pretty packed with activity, which is good to see, especially considering the recession these days. Because there were so many cars, it was hard to find enough spots together to park the truck and trailer. As you can see though, I found a spot. To borrow a saying from the US navy, and modify it a little bit, 'If you can park an RV here, you can park it any where.

We arrived at the River Grove RV park in Felton shortly after leaving Safeway. It wasn't rated very high by some that reviewed it on RV park reviews, but we find it very acceptable. Yes, they are dirt spots, but they have Cable TV, Power, Sewer and most importantly, WIFI! ;-)

Well, that is my update for today. Tune in tomorrow to see picture from our anniversary dinner tonight as we celebrate our 10th anniversary. :-)

Happy camping! - Eric and Carol Anderson
