You go a'sailing, we'll go a'playing

So The Hubby sails. Well, at least he did before he sold his boat when we hit the road. For the last couple of years he has gone down with other friends of ours from the Southern Maryland Sailing Association to the Hospice Regatta at Western Carolina Sail Club. This year was no exception and he took The Boy. The Boy sails as well but this year they would not be sailing unless someone needed crew, then The Hubby might have. The day before they were due to leave The Hubby went over to North Carolina to pick up a Class C RV our friends had bought from another sailing family. The day they were due to leave he drove it and The Boy to MD to go pick up our friends and their beautiful daughter that he was going with. They drove through the night and stopped by Waffle House for breakfast. The Boy talks about it ALL the time! Every time we go out to breakfast he asks if we are going there. He points out every one he sees....yeah I think he liked it.
Since no one needed any crew The Hubby and The Boy spent a lot of their time playing board games they had brought with. Western Carolina Sail Club has a nice space inside and out. It is on its own little peninsula so there is lots of shore line to walk on. They took walks, The Boy played at the playground they have there with some other kids who had come, and just hung out with friends. At night after the races were done there was food, friends, and sailer's favorite, booze. LOL They have a beer truck that comes to this event and of course mixed drinks. There was also music at night as well. The Hubby always has a good time and next year the whole family plans on going.
Of course I sent them with a bunch of oily goodness. I made a back cream, bug spray, and a joint cream for him. All are musts when sailing. I also sent him with a bunch of other oils for anything anyone might need. Turns out that they came in handy as one of our friends had hurt her ankle. Plus The Boy had his favorite Purification for bug bites. For more information you can check out this blog post Young Living

While they were gone the rest of us did some exploring. After looking for a park for over an hour (we ever checked schools and they were just no fun) we FINALLY found one and it was AMAZING. We had a blast and knew that when The Boy came back we were going to have to come back. We went mid-afternoon and ended up staying till it was getting dark.

The next day the RV dealership we bought our RV from, McGeorge RV was having a Grand Opening of their remodel. They were going to have free food, drinks, a bounce house, a balloon guy, face painter, and a couple Redskin Cheerleader. Also they were going to have all the RV's open so you could take a look without having a sales person with you. Since the dealership was about 5 mins from our campground we decided to check it out. We had a really great time.
The face painter was AMAZING!! If you are in the VA area and need a face painter CALL HER! I attacher a pic of her card and here is the website to her. Doborah N face Painter The paint she uses was NOT cheap either. It was high quality, didn't come off when they were hot, and didn't stain their faces. I will now compare all future face painting to her and I promise no one will come close to her!

The kids of course spent a lot of time in the bounce house. It was not busy so they were able to stay in there as long as they wanted too. Princess had been in a few bounce houses before but this was the first time she really enjoyed herself! She wanted no part of getting out. We also visited the balloon artist a few times. We got swords, a princess hat, and the picture you see below. It was supposed to be a motorcycle. They guy tried, really he did. We ended up saying it was a penguin riding a bike. LOL We also took a look at a lot of the Toy Haulers they had there and I fell in LOVE with one that has a HUGE master. The 2015 Crossroads Elevations Las Vegas Oh how I love thee...........
