Dumfries, VA

After checking out the Mini U site in Woodbridge, Linda and I decided it was just too tight to park their for our two days of training. The manager there had given us the name of a nearby campground....Travel Trailer Village. Based on that name I was expecting a mobile home park but it is a really cute campground, tucked away about 2.5 miles from 95. We got a 39' pull through spot on the end of a row and I certainly wouldn't want a spot any smaller. I put orange cones out at the back corner of our motorcycle lift and the front corner of our bedroom slideout so folks driving down the roads, on either side of us, don't clip us....little tight. It's a beautiful area...all wooded and the pool is smack dab in the middle of the campground (about 6 sites down from us). If someone needs a place close to DC or the nearby attractions, this would be a cute option. Also cheap...$30 for a full hook-up pull through site.

We are relaxing today....were extremely pooped yesterday from driving all day. We barely crawled the last 20 miles getting here due to the traffic on 95 below DC. Took us over an hour to cover that last leg of the trip...UGH !! Is nice to have FULL hook-ups again. This is the first time, since leaving Baton Rouge in May that we're plugged in, cooled down, hooked up to sewer, can take a full length shower (yeehaa !)don't have to be miserly, etc. I feel like we've died and gone to camper heaven !

Tomorrow we learn about Penske rentals at the local Mini U here then we need to get back to the campground and "check in" so we can move our rig to another site, due to someone coming in on Wednesday to the space we now occupy. We will not have sewer at that site so lots of long,hot showers until then :) We'll work at this Woodbridge location Tuesday and Wednesday and then Thursday morning we'll drive to an Excel dealer ninety minutes from here to get our black tank checked out. Hoping it's nothing too serious so we 1) don't have to stay in a motel while repairs are being done and 2) we can get back on the road for our next assignment. Talked to Bubby today, from the Excel dealer and he's ready for us. Can honestly say that I've never know someone named Bubby before....known a fair amount of Bubbas but no Bubby's. Hoping this Bubby knows his stuff.
