2011-03-12 Some Pre-Season Camping At Caesar Creek State Park

We went to Caesar Creek this weekend as predicted and Carie was able to join me for the both nights although arrived much later than me on Friday, 10:00 pm. I got there around 5 in the afternoon. She planned on studying but we had so much fun just hanging out chatting fireside and playing games inside after dark that she never got any studying done so today she'll be hard at it!

We saw a half dozen deer right by our campsite, a racoon the second night who was probably psyched to see campers once again after this hard Winter LOL and the first night he left little footprints all over the truck. As I was arriving on Friday I saw several turkey and an otter!, Yeah, an otter! Too cool! At first I thought it was a mink but way too big to be a mink. Unfortunately all the wildlife sightings happened too fast to get any pictures but Carie did get some good pics of us hanging out camping...

Here's our window monkey. He's been hangin' out here on our T@B door window since the T@B Factory Tour Rally in 2008.

I'm not really ticked off in the least even though I do look it in this picture!  LOL!

Halloween @ Harrison Lake SP

We were invited to join Tom & Ella and Steve & Cindy at Harrison Lake State Park in upstate Ohio near the Michigan border. It's Halloween at most Ohio state parks every weekend through October and I snapped some pics of all the little Halloweener's.

Our New Tow Vehicle ;-) (Just Kidding)

Our New Mini Cooper S

It's not a T@B but it is tiny, classic and cute as a button! Just like a T@B! We wanted a good commuter car for Carie now that she has a 90 mile a day commute round trip to school and we also wanted a convertible so we got exactly what we needed. It's a 2006 Mini Cooper S with 22,000 miles on it and it's pretty well loaded with options. Carie especially loves it because it is her Cincinnati Bengals colors!!!!  HA!  LOL!

Look at all the room in the garage now!  LOL!!!
