Momof6....aka Marty

BassMaster, I just read you Tag - friends with a silent R - I love it! As far as the new hotel, I figure it is what it is. If I spend time getting upset about it won't change anything, except I will have wasted my time being upset. There is enough trouble in life. I guess i figure that the Fort will still be my magic place. Our pastor told dh and I that he believed that even if we were suddenly given $100,000, we would still have the same basic life style and probably give much of the money away. I said my dh would likely give much of it away, but only after he had dragged me back from Dis

I am glad y'all enjoy my campsite so much. Just be sure that it is waiting for me if i ever get back there again. (Sorry, it's a pity party kind of day here.) If I am remembering correctly, we brought one of those oranges home to wait for it to ripen. When we ate it, it was not yummy. We will not do that again.

Excellent report! Absolutely true that air mattresses get cold. Very cold. A few years ago, we went camping in the blue ridge mountains in October. My dear husband stayed up most of the night running the hot air popcorn popper to keep us warm. I don't camp in the mountains in October anymore. :welcome:

Um... My dh wears suspenders.

Wait, I figured it out! He is trying to convince people that if you just have enough insurance, you can be as stupid as you want, because it will be covered. Who cares if a kid falls off and breaks their arm? Insurance will cover it! :faceplant2: (I really hope he figures out the stupidity of this idea before some por child falls on their head. )

Yes. Yes, you have.

Thanks, TCD. That made me tear up a bit. I know just where you mean. That is where my oldest dd slept. :) Thank you, my children will love seeing that. Love the ears but had to scroll quickly past them so save my 5yog the pain of seeing them and not having them. You too!

Thanks for the heads up about tthe article. I suddenly feel very special. :)

Yes, I did! But I am amazed that you remember what site we stayed in. Thanks for all the pictures of "my" site. It did make me a bit homesick, but it was worth it!!

Glad I got in before I was too far behind! Yippee for another Fort TR!

Thanks for adding the menu. Gee whiz, the Great TCD googled for me. I feel very honored. :thewave1:

Excellent photos of the set-up and the area! Hopefully, you will be back there and we can look forward to more TRs! :D

Since I am unlikely to cruise in the near future, I am trying to live vicariously through your TR. I was wondering what the 3 choices for breakfast that last morning were. Are talking cold cereal, or a danish, or yogurt? Or is there hot food?

:bellringer:

I thought it looked like, "I've been vvery good. May I please have my dinner now?"

I think my crew could spend thee good part of a day just exploring AoA. Thanks for all the pictures!

I guess Todd editted the thread name before I saw it because it now says Dam. I thought it iwas going to be a thread about beavers.

I'd forgotten this was your last full day. Still, I bet there are plenty more fun things to read about before this TR is over. :D

Isn't there a Fiend who does this sort of thing?

Looks amazing. That is on my list of places to visit...someday.

BTW, who is Maddie? Your shirt says, "It's Maddie Time!" I know I am clueless on pop culture, but my kids are clueless as well.

I don't know whether to be sad there won't be an update until Monday, or glad the fun is being drawn out so long. Either way, thanks for sharing!

Thank you!!

I loved the whole report. Thanks for taking us along!

Great pictures. I can't wait for more!
