Camping 10 minutes from home!

An RV, a golf cart, a some hot dogs and marshmallows, a couple of kids and grandkids, a 10-minute drive from home - all making for a surprisingly relaxing weekend camping trip. We had just gotten a new engine in the rental fleet's 32' Storm class A RV. We thought we had better try it out because it had been out of commission for a while. We had a couple of visiting grand-daughters, Kimi and Kendra, 4 and 8, who had never camped in an RV before, plus our 3 younger kids, ages 4, 14 and 16.

I don't know why it seems so much more relaxing to stay in an RV, even close to home, and even if you run to work for a couple hours a day. Maybe it's because at home you find so many things that need cleaning and organizing, but in the RV you just relax.

For the first time, we took a golf cart to a campground. This comes in handy at the long, narrow Santee Lakes property, with a water park at the opposite end of the park from the campsites. We are thinking maybe we should offer golf carts to our rental customers too!
