SheBantam

I can probably do Friday Saturday and Sunday, but I do not think I can get time off during the week.

SheBantam

C-4
will arrive Friday afternoon, evening (this is only about an hour from home...YEAH for a change)
and leave on Monday...
I guess I could just stay longer and go to work from the camper and come "home" to supper made by Becky and Tracy????

chip

Have you picked sites yet?

From Killens, I can ride my bike to work and not have to take any days off...only about 14 miles each way.

I need to check with headquarters, but that might be a good time for us.

HersheyGirl

We will be on C-5 and C-6.....Paula, I am so glad that you will be joining us...of course we will make dinner....Dr-DH will be here and he can cook.  
Chip, I haven't met you yet and am looking forward to meeting you.  It will be fun.  You can have dinner with us too.

Paula you will be there first.  You get to make sure the people on our sites Friday night leave early.;)   I plan to get to the park early on Saturday.  I have to work Friday or I would come a day early.

I posted the sites on the first post of the thread.  Yesterday when  we made our reservations C2, C3, C4, and C9 were available, but Shebantam now has site C4.  There are also sites in some of the other loops.  I hope you can make the trip, even of you have to work.:)

Gee will I get dinner too, or will you make me cook???:p

The boss needs to check to see if she can get those days off--her normal days are Wednesday and Thursday, but I think it is doable.

That is the week of the The Delaware State Fair, or better known as "Fair Week."  Which means the campground will fill up fast from here on out, since it's only about ten minutes away.

I'll know tomorrow, one way or the other...

I wish we would have know that.  We would have planned the DE end of the trip on the other end of my vacation.  Oh well, maybe we will go to the fair.  Where is it held?

Why, at the Delaware State Fairgrounds, of course...:)

Ok, I figure we owe it to Paula to come visit her state for a change so... we're coming too  :D . Just booked site C-2, arriving Fri 7/21. Will probably leave Sunday afternoon (booked Sun night coz I hate 12 noon checkout times so maybe we'll stay until Mon). K may bring a friend along on this one (she saw the pool and the fair).

Chip, I look forward to meeting you. Hope you booked C-3 coz it's gone now. ONLY one site left in the loop (C-9).

Wow this is turning into a little rally.  :D   Any one else want to go?  There are other sites in the neighboring loops.

Nope, missed C3, so grabbed C9.  It's across the loop, but close anyway.  We will actually come down on Thursday afternoon and leave on Sunday.

Looking forward to meeting everybody...

DiW

I'm envious. Arriving on Thursday. Now that's what I call a weekend  :D  Glad you were able to get a site, Chip.
