| Lakeside at Woods 'n Waters Campground, Michigan |
First,
I am anticipating some rest and recuperation from our first camping experience
for the season. We traveled to Woods ‘n Waters Campground where our camping
daughter and her family have a seasonal site. It was Grandparents Weekend and Grandparents' sites were half off! The rain poured down every day, but somehow we kept busy. (They have an indoor pool.)

It was kind of fun eating breakfast under the awning with the rain spattering overhead. Yes, a bit damp if you sat close to the edge of the awning, but you sure can't have breakfast served in such a setting anywhere else! Such ambience. Before we left on Sunday afternoon, the campground sponsored a potluck dinner (covered dish dinner?). Lots of food and not one dish the same. A true feast.

J.Q. it sounds like the campsite went all out for Grandparent's weekend. How fun, camping with your daughter and family. It does sound like you had a great time despite the weather.
Happy June 1st!
Yes, it was a good, no problem trip. Always wonder after the camper sits all winter what problems might erupt. Knock on wood, all the kinks are fine....!! LOL...Going back next week and taking our other daughter's sons, so everyone but Sara and hubby will be there. Sara and hubby are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, so I think they deserve a weekend getaway. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Susan.
Sounds like a great trip, JQ, despite the rain. We've had a miserable Spring here too, so far, but a heat wave predicted for next week. I hope it hits you, too, in time for your next trip. Thanks for sharing. It was good to feel part of the fun! (I can just taste those waffles :) )
Love the pics, Janet. I'm so impressed with your "chef" being able to prepare such a spread out in the wilds that way. (Can you tell I'm not a camper?)We've had the wettest May ever and the third wettest month ever. In one month the state went from almost everyone being in extreme drought to sever flooding. While we've had sun yesterday and today, the waters continue to rise as water is let out of lakes above us. Going out today to check on the house to make sure everything is okay.
Love your idea of a travel blog this summer. Will look forward to following. In July, the whole family is going to Red River, New Mexico. I'd love to send in a post about our trip. I think I FBed about this yesterday, but I didn't get to Tweet. I'll do both. Have a great day.
Hi Helena, I hope you get some warm sunshine soon, but your photos of the misty moors are beautiful! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Marsha, we aren't exactly in the wilds... I camp with a microwave and electric blanket and AC when necessary!! Actually 3 "chefs" prepared breakfast, 2 grandsons and Grandpa. Pretty soon he'll have them so well-trained they can do it all, or that's the plan anyway.
I would love to visit Red River through your eyes.
