We arrived in the late afternoon and got set-up at the campground. Just as we finished up my brother and sister-in-law arrived. After they got set up, we decided to have a simple supper of roasted hotdogs and mac & cheese. Seriously, what's camping without hotdogs!!??? Right?
We had an enjoyable evening sitting around the campfire and catching up until the mean, nasty mosquitoes had to start attacking me!!! Off to bed we went with plans to go for a bike ride after breakfast.
My son should be so proud of me, we did approximately 15 miles or a bit more on our ride from Thomson to Fulton. I wasn't sure how I would do but obviously with the walking I have been doing and the stationary bike has helped a bit as I handled the ride just fine!!! Yeah me!!!! :)
A much needed stop at Dollar General was needed because I always forget something when I load the trailer, even when I make a list. So everything on my list was packed, I was thinking good job Candy! Only to realize on Saturday morning I forgot to pack underwear!!!! Gee!!!! But my dear sister-in-law informed me that she was sure the Dollar store would carry Ladies Hanes and whoo, she was right!!! Thanks Chris!!! :) LOL!!!!
Then my sister and her family, my parents and brother and my niece and her hubby and new little boy arrived for our evening cookout. It was so nice to have all of them drive up for the afternoon and having the opportunity to see them. Thanks for coming!!!
The next morning after a leisurely breakfast we headed out going north out of Thomson. The ride was along a back county road and not nearly as scenic as the bike path, so after just a couple miles we made the decision to head back into Thomson and check out the bike shop. Good thing, as about 3 blocks from the shop my bike broke!!! Actually, the chain came off the track and neither Dave or Kevin could get it fixed. Chris rode up to the shop and called the number on their door; they said they would open in just a few minutes. So up to the shop we went with Kevin carrying my bike for me. Thanks brother!!! It only took a few minutes and the owner had it fixed and adjusted so hopefully it won't jump off track again. Well, this particular bike shop is known for recumbent bikes, so we just couldn't leave until we learned a bit about them and of course tried a few out. I thought I would like them, but have riding one, I'm happy to say I am quite satisfied with mine.
After a lunch of leftovers and more river viewing, we packed up to head home. Another great weekend!!!
