Headed to the Barn! (June 22)

I must preface this post with this: I love my husband, I really do, BUT once we made up our minds that we needed to head home, he was like a race horse, headed for the barn. We actually had three days to get home and we'd said we'd "take our time". Nice slow drive to the South. Stop a couple of nights and be home by Sunday evening. Nice, right? NOT! We had packed things up on Thursday night so there wasn't much to do when we got up this morning. Just a few last minute put-aways, a quick tank dump, not to mention a bit of a quandry getting out of the site (We were a little hemmed in by a very large pine tree!), and we were off. Got on the road around 9:15. A great start to the morning. We drove, and drove, AND DROVE! Past Lansing, Ann Arbor, into Ohio where we were headed toward Dayton, Ohio and had HOPED to find a campground near the Air Force Museum. Couldn't find a single one! We made our way toward Cincinnati, hit a little corner of Indiana, before setting our sites on STOPPING. We figured we were going to be up against a wall, finding an open site on a FRIDAY night, and we soon found out that assumption was right. After a few calls to campgrounds in the area, "Sorry, we're full" became the normal greeting. UGH. So, we drove some more. Let me say here, I love to travel and see the sites, but after ten hours in a car, I'm more than ready for a stop. I was pretty frantically searching on the iPad for local campgrounds, State Parks, WHATEVER, when we saw a sign for "Cincinnati South" campground. Ah yeah, "south" of Cincinnati for sure, since we were well into Kentucky, but who cared at that point? It was a campground and we were hoping for a site. We got off the interstate and proceeded on a little road, past some questionable places, but at his point that just made us happy. Surely this place wasn't going to be a resort, so maybe there would be a site or two left. Got to the campground and YAY! there was a site (or two, or three...) left. We pulled in(around 8 p.m.), hooked up to electric and climbed into our cozy "nest". Ah. "Home, sweet home". Long day.
