Hey there, we're home from NaturalBus and recovered. :o) I was actually sick the whole weekend so I stayed in the the bus a lot. I did come out a little bit and tried to be sociable. We started out Friday morning and had problems on the road. The bus was driving all 'squirrely'... scaring me to death. We ended up having to stop a few times for my hubs to august things under / behind the tires. Owning a bus is not easy, there are always things to fix on it. For real!!
We made it to the campout in about 3 hours. It is in Natural Bridge, Va.....that is why the campout is called NaturalBus. Mark, the organizer told me there ended up being over 50 buses this year.
The weather was beautiful, not as hot as it usually is for NaturalBus. It is usually in the 90s for this campout and everyone stays in the water the whole time. It was too cold for me to get in the water this weekend. We even had a storm/tornado warning roll through Friday night and we were all stuck in our buses for about an hour. :o) It all needed up being fine though.
Here is my annual picture of my children with Yogi Bear.
We love our campfires. The first night I think we stayed up way past midnight, some till 3am around this campfire.
My son, a water lover ended up getting in the water even though it was chilly.
The teenagers gathered to eat.
The band this year was so good. No one wanted them to stop playing. Mark says he'll be asking them to come back again next year. :o)
I know I've said it before... but NaturalBus raffles a bus off every year. The money goes to the Ronald McDonald House. They sold over 1700 tickets at $10 a ticket. :o) Pictured below is the man that won the bus.
This is me (left), Dawnn (middle) and Mark (right) in Jamie's bus.
The weekend was so wonderful with friends and family. Our Fullmoon Bus club friends are part of our family. We eat great, the weather was great, and the company was great.
On the way home we carabused to Sonic and eat lunch..... here is Dawnn and I having a picnic in the Sonic parking lot. I've got my journal in my lap. I am a crazy journal girl and have written down every time we camped, when, where, and what. lol
Till next camping trip, which will be in about 2 weeks.
Looks like fun. We have a fire too, but many uk sites don't allow open fires and so we put it in an old stainless steel drum from inside a washing machine!
