Our Danforth Bay Vacation is Almost Over

Well, here it is, Thursday afternoon, and tomorrow will be our last full day at Danforth Bay. sigh.
:(
We had a great week!
Sunday night, we watched the Incredibles on our big screen “sit-in” movie - Mike’s family is also camping this week, and it is a tradition to watch a dvd movie on the projection screen.
Monday morning, we went on the 10am nature walk to Trout Pond. Bob and Patty (newenglandcamper) recommended this guided tour to us, and we are so glad we participated. It was a small group this week, and Craig and Nick were informative and entertaining on this historical walk through old Shawtown to Trout Pond. Highly recommended! Look for it on the weekly schedule on Monday!
Tuesday, we had a scary lightening thunderstorm roll through, and Mindy was shaking! Hmm, I guess I was shaking a little bit too, waiting for a tree to fall on our trailer! We faired the storm, but Danforth Bay’s water pumps were hit, so we lost our water later in the day. It was back up by the Wednesday morning.
Last night, we made our traditional trip to the Pizza Barn. I ordered a mini mushroom/hamburg, but was jealous of my inlaw’s bacon pizza. The good news is the waiter messed up the order, so we ended up with medium pizzas, instead of small/minis; he charged us for the minis. We even braved the hard rainfall after dinner to head to Kranky Franky’s for ice cream (I got my favorite carrot cake instead)
Today, I am just hanging out. It is after 5pm, Mike is at the pool with his family, and I am sitting up in the Depot using wifi. I am going to miss it here when we leave on Saturday. sigh.

Doesn’t the vacation weeks fly by when you are having fun?
Are you returning in August for a week?
Just think if you were seasonal you could have stayed for the weekend too! No—Mike didn’t pay me to say that! LOL!
Posted by Bob on 07/13/06It is better to have camped and left than never to have camped at all!
With apologies to Will Shakespeare!
Posted by Twinnish on 07/14/06Well we are back! It was a sad farewell, but actually it’s nice to be home too.
Mindy (the Rat Terrier) is exhausted, and passed out sleeping, Mike is outside mowing the lawn, and I am sitting here watching VH1 while on my laptop. hehee. Life is grand, and yes! It is better to have camped than never to have camped before!!!
Bob, I actually for one minute considered inquiring about a seasonal, but I just know it would cost a fortune. Besides the normal seasonal and electricity cost, we would have the added expense of a golf cart, new powerboat, boat slip, golf cart mods, and probably a new trailer! hehee.
Posted by That's Camping on 07/15/06Debbie—Don’t forget the shed to store all “the toys” in, the deck, snow mobiles for winter camping ;->, etc. Also… firewood week after week.
Look forward to seeing you and Mike on your August vacation.
