Croatan National Forest
Cedar Point, NC
Sunday morning can be a sad time around an active campground. We visited with Doug and Carla one more time before they headed back to their home in Roanoke Rapids. There are 40 sites here and by noon only a dozen were occupied after a full weekend. Needless to say, it’s quiet.
This was going to be an afternoon of relaxing so Gin stretched out on the couch and I put the laundry in the Suki and went to the coin laundry in Swansboro. It’s the first time in well over 30 years that I’ve done laundry at a laundromat so it was an “adventure”. Yes, I had to read the instructions on the washers and driers. The washers were smaller than I remember, and it was hotter in there than I remember too. I just sat back and typed a blogpost so that was nice. After about two and a half hours, I was done and on my way back to camp. We visited with Gin’s folks and their friends just a bit and called it a day.
On Monday, we slept late. I don’t think we’ll have any trouble adjusting to our own slower pace when we slide into fulltiming.
We enjoyed a nice ride on our e-bikes, and yes we pedaled most of the time (flat land here). Gin’s folks and their friends, Mack and Joanne, joined us for dinner at a Chinese buffet restaurant, and we did a bit of shopping afterwards. After watching a little football, we called it a night. This week we will be relaxing and setting our own schedule. Yes I’m enjoying the freedom of retirement.Thanks for dropping by, and enjoy each day of your life’s journey by finding beauty in the ordinary.
