Arrrrh! Goin' to the Sea, Me Hearties!

Screw this birthday shit. I just made myself a reservation at the KOA for a lakefront  camper cabin (power and a/c, no bathroom or water--but that's cool. My fave cabin, K3, became miraculously available. I will drive up Thursday after work and stay Friday night leaving Sat. AM.
I need this. I need Mother Ocean and salt air and long walks and seashells--and the famous Banana French toast at my favorite beach bar for breakfast.
Here's some views of the campsite:
and I'm just about 15 min from the beach!

I can't say I wouldn't freak and run in the moment, but I'd hope I wouldn't. I've never had a moment that I know of, if I did, well, then I must have not been paying enough attention, or they weren't trying to scare me *shrug*

I've never been to a KOA. been next to a bunch of them over the years, but we've never stayed at any of them.

I like them better than hotels when I travel--I also camp in State Parks and such--but their camper cabins seriously rock

most of the places we go, we've either got family that'll put us up, or we're going somewhere with so many people, its cheaper to rent on huge house and split the cost that trying to find a place with enough rooms.

for example, this summer, me, my parents, my three brothers, their wives and children (between the three of them, I have 5 niece's and nephews) are going down to Orlando for a week.

lets not even try to count the people when we have a big family vacation, where my dads siblings get together and have a vacation. my dad has 6 siblings, whether or not they all come along....

and that's only three of my dads siblings family's. and my parents and oldest brother. imagine the space we'd have to find if they all showed up.

Whoahhhh--I'm impressed! My grandmother came from a family of 14 kids...they had to build two Victorian houses side by side and link 'em with a walkway--Honest!

I believe it.

my dad parents bought/built a house with...technically three bedrooms, 4 if you counted the sub basement level, cause it's a split level.

that house is now my dads youngest brothers house, though we still go over there for Christmas and Easter, just like we did when I was little and it was my grandparents house.
