Where does the time go?

Posted on July 18, 2019July 18, 2019 by Jim Mellema

And why did I pause blogging again?

I did good until about 3/4 done with our Texas winter trip. We spent a total of thirty days at Gulf Waters RV Resort. This was the first time we’d payed attention to being in a “Fancy Ownership Resort” but it was really really nice, and the idea has stuck with us. (More later on that.)

Then on up to Pensacola, after a quick stop at Cajun Palms. We’d visited here on the way south, and it was as nice this second time. Pensacola has been a favorite for a long time. This time we sweetened it up a bit. We stayed on the Island (Pensacola Beach) at Pensacola Beach RV Resort. Right on the bay, right downtown, walking distance to everything, this place is prime. We spent 2 weeks there, with the bonus of our son Jake and his wife Samantha bringing our GrandBabies for a week of fun in the sun!

When we finally got “up North” to East Tennessee, we found the spring rains had washed out the road going into our Dandridge house! As I write this on June 4, we still haven’t taken our RV over that road. We spent 2 months at Clabough’s in Pigeon Forge, then did our annual trip north, visiting relatives and customers throughout the Midwest. It was great seeing everyone, especially meeting Kayla’s new son Brett and Sarah’s new son Jimmy. So cute!!!

Back in Tennessee, we spent a short week or two at The Dell Motorcoach Resort. We really like this place. It’s a very small (maybe 16 sites?) ownership resort that is part of Hidden Mountain, a huge (mostly rental cabin) resort in Sevierville. The sites are big and beautiful, the neighborhood is very small, and the amenities are wonderful.

But wait! We’re not done traveling yet. It’s June, and the Rhododendrons are blooming on Roan Mountain! We’re here at Roan Mountain State Park Campground for a few days. There’s enough altitude here for cool days, I’m enjoying that as are our dogs.

Friday we head back to Dandridge, for the first time since New Years Day.
