Friday & Saturday, July 24 & 25

Well nothing too exciting to report. Friday - the King family headed to Church St Marketplace. This is like Fanueil Hall in Boston. There are all kinds of places to eat, shop and all kinds of street performers. There were 1 man bands, jugglers, and all other kinds of acts - including a 10 year old playing the violin.
After shopping the King family headed home. While the kids were swimming mom did all our laundry so we are all set for our next vacation. After swimming for 3 hours - we head back to the condo for a late dinner. THen we pack everything - so in the morning all we have to do is pack the fridge stuff and then put everything in the car.
Saturday - is travel day. We will be traveling from Stowe, Vermont to Wells Beach, Maine. We get the car packed and head out on I89. We make a short stop in Quechee Gorge. The ride is going very smoothly until we reach I95. It is a parking lot. It takes us an hour just to go the short distance from the tolls to the bridge - I think we should head back to Vermont! To kill some of the traffic - we start doing the Macarena and the Chicken Dance.
We meet the Desplaines in their trailer at Hannaford parking lot. They have the chairs set up, a table out - and their riding bikes.....guess they don't need the campground.
We head to the campground.....we check out the campground and decide that out of the available sites that site 9 is the best spot. As Dennis, Vicki and Kathy set up the trailer and tent - Cortney takes the kids up to the pool. Well needless to say - when they come back - Kathy, Vicki and Dennis are pretty tired. The kids really want to go to the beach - so Kathy tells them if they help unload the van she will take them after dinner. Let me tell you = you have never seen a van get unloaded that fast. We settle on sandwiches for supper.
Then we head to the beach. Lacie has a blast. She finds a piece of seaweed and plays tug of war. Then Zack is taking pails and making piles - Lacie digs them up. Cortney starts writing messages in the sand. Nick write - Nick is single. Call me.
After about an hour - we head back to the campground. The girls head into the tent and watch Shrek. The boys watch Click in the trailer. Kathy, Dennis and Vicki just relax outside.
We all head to bed.
