Short but sweet trip report - 4/18 - 4/25

[CampingChristy]

We arrived on Sat the 18th..........site 514.

We got to see the hayride when it passed our site...

Here are some pictures of our first night on the beach watching the Water Parade...

My mom and step dad were camping beside us, but my dad came from St. Augustine for the day to visit us. Here is pictures of my parents with their beautiful grandchildren. The princess is my daughter and the handsome boys are my nephews, that were camping with my mom.....

Here are pictures of Tay with her cousins. One at the campsite and the other at the Wilderness Lodge when we went over for lunch at the Whispering Canynon...

I will try to add more later!

Thanks for sharing with me my trip to the Fort! We had a blast!

Good looking family. How is the site? Good points/bad (if any) Would you stay in that loop again?

Great little report- short and sweet-as advertised. Great pic's too. I think it's great that the grandparents got to spend time with the grandkids. That's what camping is all about!

Great pictures and good job Christy. Glad you and yours had a great time!

I really like your PVC flag pole rig. I have been wanting to put something together like that. How does it stake into the ground?

I stole Christy's flagpole idea from her last year. You can go to THD and they sell 2 foot sections of rebar. Once you put the flagpole together you drive the rebar in the ground and leave about 1/2 up then put the pole on and it swivels in the wind.

For the flagpole you need:

10' one inch pvc pipe
1 one inch "tee"
1 one inch 45 degree piece
2 one inch caps
2 eyebolts to hang the flag onto

here is a link to a plan. I recommend the 1" pvc instead of 3/4 though for stability.

We have been in the 500 loop for the past two years. I don't know if it is because I don't know any better, but I love this loop. No complaints. Very quiet and family friendly! Bath house and laundry very close. Close to pretty much everything. But remember this is a premium pet loop. You have to love the four legged creatures!

Great pics Christy! Thanks for sharing. We always stay in 500 as well, and were in 517 just a month ago. I can't wait to go back!
