Greensboro...Almost Home

We crossed the state line into North Carolina.  Finally Home! I'll have to get a better photo of the sign next time.

We always stop in Greensboro on our way home. It's 200 miles from Wilmington and right off I-40, perfect for our last day of travel. More importantly, my brothers Glen and Ken live there and it gives us a chance to visit! It was also my home for nearly 25 years...the longest I've ever lived anywhere...so it's like visiting home for me.

We've always stayed at the only RV park in town, Greensboro Campground. It was a KOA twenty-some years ago but has just been Greensboro Campground for a long time. Imagine my surprise to find it is once again a KOA! We like KOAs and stay at them occasionally. Oftentimes they are a bit more expensive, but occasionally they are a better deal for a particular area. Whether we stay depends on a number of things, including what we are getting for the higher rate. Of course, when they are the only game in town it's an easy decision (lol). I was not thrilled to discover that, although the rate increased at Greensboro, the park remains the same as before and still doesn't have cable! They've only been a KOA a few months...we'll see if there are any improvements coming. Either way, it's still the only park in town.

We were only going to be there for a couple of days this time and, since Ken would be in Wilmington on vacation the next week, we spent the time visiting with Glen and Joanna. We'll make a longer visit on our way back to WV next month.

The day we arrived was Jack's birthday, the last of his sixtieth decade! It was also 95+ degrees...they were having a heat wave. After getting the RV set up, cooling down, and resting a bit, we went to meet Glen and Joanna for a birthday dinner at Jack's favorite place, Darryl's. We find a reason every time we visit to have dinner there...it's become a tradition! We didn't make it to Elizabeth's Pizza this time but...next month.

While we were there, Jack made his requisite trip to Camping World for some odds and ends and got his hair cut, Glen cleaned up both our computers (thanks!) and we had went out for Mexican food for the first time since California. Kiosco was good, though incredibly noisy the day we were there, but nothing will ever measure up to San Antonio and Las Cruces for me. I'm ruined!

It was great, as usual, to see Glen and Joanna and we're looking forward to seeing them again next month!

Onward to Wilmington...
