My Brother's Get Away

My brother travels with the snowbirds. Honest and this is how he makes his living. Don't know what a snowbird is??? Well that is the term for the RV lifestyle that travels from the north to the south to get away from the harsh winters. And this summer my brother has set up in his home away from home to work repairing the a/c units in these RVs.

When I asked him where he was going this year he had a few places in mind. You see there are RV parks all over this country. One of them is a RV park NC where they have a beautiful lake, tall lush trees and even cabin rental for those without a traveling home. Since I have family in the Carolina's this would be a great place to set up camp, so to speak.

I know the NC RV parks have many extras to draw in summer settlers. Some things that I would enjoy are the bingo hall, the dance pavilion (oh how I love to dance), the game room and a pool and sauna. I know that I use to look at the RV lifestyle as one where you escaped civilization to be a vagabond. But I know now that it is a way to actually re bond with your family and look at this beautiful world while you still can.

The RV Park North Carolina was not the one my brother chose. I wish it was. Maybe I could have joined him for a lil break. But instead he is in beautiful Ruidoso New Mexico. Hey, Juls you loved it there for vacation didn't you? Well maybe he will go to North Carolina next year.

Spring Break

I have a friend who is a Latin teacher. She gets to have spring break, summer vacation and of course Christmas break. I am so envious. Us every day folk have to just live life without all the breaks.

Well she really enjoys camping. You know the sierra club and all that. Ok she is a granola freak but she makes killer granola! This year she has asked me to join her for her spring break. She asked me what I thought of Gettysburg camping? I asked her if she meant RV camping in Gettysburg? I mean it is cold up there still. Right? I would think PA RV camping would be the only way to go til summer. Yes, I am a wimp about cold weather.

We went back and forth til I was able to bring her around to my way of thinking. Persuasive! So instead of a long trip and colder weather we are opting for friends and warmth here in Texas. So in two weeks I will be around San Antonio listening to Native American Flutes being played in the caves of Boerne. Anyone want to join us? Donna! How about you, we will be staying at Jennifer's place. See I don't even have to camp!
