Here we go again! We're off to visit Owen and Kelsea on the South Island of New Zealand. Our bags are packed (small carry ons), passports in hand, and house sitter notes complete (Hailey gets to stay home this time...).
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River…(are you singing yet?) Twin Falls State Park Resort in West Virginia, what a place! This is definitely up there among our favorite places to stay. A crazy winding road up in the mountains led us to an oasis of a state park complete with miles of trails (careful to avoid afternoon hiking on certain trails that the copperheads like to sun themselves on), a pioneer village, 18 hole golf course (if you walk you play for free- which we did!), beautiful lodge and restaurant (we stayed in our “camper”lodge and our restaurant was a grill outside), playgrounds, tennis and pickle ball courts. Since it was off season there were only 3 other campers in our section of the campground. So quiet and spacious AND no bugs! The golf course was gorgeous! We played the front nine the day we arrived and the back nine the next day. Rick kept trying to pay but the nice lady in the pro shop said, “If you’re walking just grab a pull cart and go on out honey!” So...
After 36 hours of travel with 22 of those in the air we entered New Zealand excited and bleary eyed. Owen and Kelsey greeted us with big smiles and hugs! So happy to see them. Their van is amazing! Our view from our Chalet was unbelievable!
Spent our last day at the golf course in Nelson. The course was pretty rough. You could definitely tell it was the end of the summer as most of the grass was brown and pretty crunchy. The best part was the stunning Mountain View. Watching Kelsey running around the golf course looking for her lost ball and kicking up her heels was pretty entertaining too! And now we start the long journey home…
