    Off we go

    Spent the last few days packing and gathering.... Heading up to beautiful Bath County VA tomorrow at noon.
    Arrival time approximately 6pm tomorrow and we will have 5 nights at Lake Moomaw.

    This is my obligatory post.

    I have posted something about this trip every year since 2004 (perhaps 2005, but I'm pretty sure 2004 because my soon to be 18 year old was not quite 6 years old).

    Thanks again Hank!

    don't I know it.... Oldest graduates in 25 days. Turns 18 in 31 days.

    Kinda selfishly thankful he doesn't fully know wtf he wants to do... So he will be going to Community College for at least a year. So he won't be flying the nest just yet.

    Doesn't seem possible. But all you old folks already know that feeling.

    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    no question having girls gotta be tougher to see them go.
    We always wanted a girl. But looking back, kinda glad we don't.
    I'd be in prison by now.

    Color me jealous! It's been six weeks since I've been down there and it's just about all I can think about.

    Have fun Arty ... will you be "connected"? Or will we just have to wait for a trip report?

    Extremely shitty reception out there. Unless there has been a big cell tower added in the past 12 months in that area, I'll be lucky to even be able to send a text.

    Which is fiiiine with me !

    Have a good trip and enjoy your family time. We are empty nesters now and miss them every day!
    Is Lake Moomaw a spandex free area?
