pre-vacation hiccups
Hopefully these are just hiccups and not a sign of things to come. We leave Tuesday for 13 days of vacation. Get an email from the campground that the balance will be charged to our card on Tuesday. T...

vacation went smooth....spot wasn't as bad as we thought although the kids didn't spend much time at the playground. They spent most of it asking to go to the pool haha. We would go to the beach and I would be changing into clothes and one of the kids would knock on the door and ask if I would take them to the pool haha.
We toured 5 other cg's while we were there and none of them were as good as the one we were in. Not nearly the shade or room. If anything it just showed us how much we like the current cg. They're doing a ton of renovations and changing a ton of things. We got to see the plans for the cg and what it'll look like when it's done. Hopefully they add spraying for skeeters to the list of things they'll do. It was impossible to sit out around the fire at night there. I've never seen skeeters as bad as they are there. I was using 40% deet and had 6 tiki torches going and we would still get bit to the point everyone wanted to go in.
Had the spare tire almost rip the bumper off. On the way home we stopped for lunch and during my walk around of the camper I noticed the spare tire looked odd. On closer inspection it had ripped the metal where the bumper attaches to the mounts. I pulled the spare tire and bracket off and made it the rest of the way with the spare riding in the camper. I'll have to look at that this week and weld it back up and reinforce it so that doesn't happen again. Very close and dangerous situation. Glad that bumper didn't come off and hurt someone.
