The Birthday Gifts--September 6, 2009

I have just one word to describe Georgia Veterans' State Park---GNATS!
While at Georgia Veterans' State Park for Labor Day, we celebrated Bobby's 32 birthday by purchasing bicycles and helmets for Christopher and DeAnna. The campground was packed, but it was a great place to ride. We had to keep moving to keep the gnats from driving us mad!

DeAnna is still working on keeping her eyes on the road!

By early Monday afternoon we had camping area 3 to ourselves.

Monday night we made s'mores for the second time. We talked about fire safety before we made the s'mores. Everyone had a good time around the campfire.
Tuesday morning the kids rode the loop on their bikes, then we packed our stuff and headed for DeLand.

When we left the state park we realized that it was love bug season and our windshield has a healthy dose of love bugs! I know that it will be washed after we arrive home.

As we neared Valdosta, GA the emergency sign notified drivers that I-75 was closed north and south due to an accident at Florida exit 451. I looked at the map and found an alternate route for us. After filling the rv at Lake Park, GA we took US 41 south to Lake City, FL where we turned on State Road 100 and headed toward Bunnell. From Bunnell it was homeward bound!
