Thursday
We finally got our camper back following the slide replacement, so we are taking it SC to make sure all is well. First we are headed to Suffolk to ride two rail trails which we will highlight in videos. The first was the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail.
It's a pretty great idea to turn an old road into a trail! It runs parallel to the canal through forest and farmland. There are rest spots where you get a good views of the canal!
We rode the parts of the Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail that are completed. It will connect Suffolk to Chesapeake when completed.
Saturday
We drove to Myrtle Beach and went to the Hills for dinner. Unfortunately, Rachel tested positive for Covid so she was isolating in her bedroom and will not be able to go to church in the morning.
Sunday
It is Confirmation Day. We met Maggie, Kelley and Seth at the church. The ceremony was very impressive. The photo below is the moment Maggie was confirmed as a member of the Belin United Methodist Church!
Note all of the girls wore white dresses and tiaras. The stole Maggie is wearing she decorated at a retreat the class had. The class also wrote a creed which the congregation read in the service!
After the service we went back to the Hills for lunch and cake with their neighbors. Today was a very great experience for Maggie and a fun time for everyone. So great to spend time with you guys, we love you all so much!
Oh, did I mention we had oysters on the grill that Jeff caught in a local creek today! Oh, and today I am 75 years old!
Monday
We drove home today safely! But I do have to mention that our camper did not do well on the trip. When Gretchen was putting out the slide, I heard a loud clank and the slide was damaged again. On the way home we decided we had to get rid of the Lance and get a simpler trailer like our last one with no slides. We do not want another trip ruined by a broken slide like our trip out west last spring. So, we ended up trading the Lance for an InTech Sol Dusk. We pick it up next week!
