Wednesday was a stay at home day. We had breakfast and lunch at the TJ Cafe, while doing laundry, bike riding around the grounds and over to see the new RVs. Then off to the grocery store and dinner at home. We are hoping to leave on Thursday as we have already been here too long..too foggy to see any of the mountain sites, so we should move on.
Thursday we got up with the plan of leaving.....but it rained all night and is still raining at 9:30. Up to the Cafe for breakfast and a stroll around the corner, staying one more day. A load or two of laundry and another bike ride. The rain has let up, so the outside packing is underway...at least the stuff isn't dripping with rain water any more. We talked with Keith and Carol a couple of times, we are a lot alike, they planned on leaving tomorrow, but have already changed their minds and aren't leaving until Saturday, got to love this life. Since the grill and all is packed off to 'Fatz Cafe' for dinner. I must recommend that if you get the chance to, go there. Make sure to let them know you have never been there before and you will get complimentary tasting. We had their Calabash Chicken and a sampling of three of the soups, and it was all delicious, the Tuscan Tomato soup was the best. We then had dinner and they gave us a sample of their Peach Cobble....oh my. We ended up leaving with left overs and we were both stuffed...great place and very good food. Back home, a couple of walks around the CG and up through the service department, and a little inside packing going on. Off to bed and see what Friday brings.
Friday we get up to a very lite mist and gray skies, but we decided we are moving any way. Keith and Carol came over said good-bye and about an hour later we were pulling out. We left the CG by 10:00, stopped for gas, groceries, hooked up the car and hit the highway at 11:00. We actually traveled 280 miles....yea for the sun shine, then we found the CG and were parked at 4:30. We are now at the Seymour Johnson AFB FamCamp. There are only 8 sites, but the people are friendly and we know nothing about the base and area since we were too tired to go anywhere...burgers on the grill for dinner and a stroll around the area to check it out.
Saturday we actually found the biggest Pork BBQ Festival in Kinston. We were headed out about 10:00 and ran into Rob (next door camper), so it was finally about 11:00 until we got on the road. Our biggest mistake was we stopped to eat on our way there, missed all the good food. We got there about 12:30 and walked around until about 3:30. Lot's to see, do and eat. We didn't eat anything, but we did go through the the USS Neuse replica, walked every street of the festival, saw some pretty neat BBQ smokers and bought some BBQ sauce for another day.
We ended up stopping for dinner on our way home and the meal was great. They had an all you can eat buffet, but we didn't need that to be full and bring home left overs, Pork Sandwiches for lunch tomorrow. We finally get home, get the satellite set up and working, then went for a walk. We got back from our first walk and decide to put the awning out and strap it down, before our second walk. This time we head down a dirt road, not yet adventured and really enjoyed the walk. We found a few interesting things and we don't think this is a road for the campers, but hey...not posted.

We are back home, Clint Eastwood is on TV and Brad is a happy camper...I guess that is why I'm working on the blog. Tomorrow we will do some shopping and find out what the rest of the base is like.
