On Friday, we headed to the trailer & got all hooked up. We spent some time in our driveway before we left trying to figure out what we were forgetting. When in doubt, go back into the house & look; we realized we left all of our food that we packed up in the cooler. Oops! We had a few options, but ultimately decided to continue on and deal with it when we got home on Sunday. We also decided it was a good idea to give our neighbors a key to our house. 

We got on our way and traffic was already backed up like crazy on 95 south. Took forever to get to Rt 3. Once we were on Rt 3, it was smooth sailing until our GPS decided to take us down some random roads. We eventually figured it out, but definitely no thanks to our GPS!

Once we got to Harbor View, I went in to check in. It was kind of weird because I had to get into a golf cart with the check in person & go pick our site. I've never had to do that before! I picked our site & then we drove over and started getting settled in. After getting set up, we headed to packet pickup for my race that weekend & then went to the store to get groceries and bathing suits (you've gotta love WalMart!). 

After a longer trip than we were expecting, we made dinner & called it a night. The next morning was going to be an early one.

Saturday morning was the Colonial Beach Sprint Tri. We were up & out of the campgrounds before most people were even thinking of waking up. I did my thing during the tri & had a bit of a wake up call about doing races with no training. (To be fair, I had been sick leading up to this one & was out of commission for about 1.5 months.) After the race, we headed back to the trailer.

Once at the campgrounds, I showered and promptly went back to sleep. I managed to sleep until about noon, when I woke up starving. Jon and David (the dog) were outside during my nap, relaxing. Made lunch and chilled out for a while. We eventually went to the pool, which was really nice. Much larger than most campground pools. After the pool, we made dinner & relaxed more. It was a really calm trip after the race!

On Sunday, we woke up around 7:30 or so and got packing up. We were back on the road around 9:30. Got the trailer back in it's space & then headed home. When we got home, I went to the kitchen to figure out the cooler situation. Somehow there was still ice in the cooler & pretty much everything was saved! Yay!
