1/1/23 1:40pm Texas time. This video was very relaxing to watch. You two are so pleasant and you look like you’re enjoying yourselves. I love your Travato. You brought a little tear to my eye when you said blessing for your meal. I don’t know why. Your review is great. I kind of like that you did most of your cooking outside. I worry about food odors sticking with the camper. Besides it’s the camping way. Bless you both and your fur baby.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for saying the blessing on the video. I enjoyed the camping trip with ya'll and my man, Big T. We had plans to be there Thanksgiving, but we had a bunch of mishaps. My husband fell the first night. My dog Buddy that I have asked for prayers before hurt his back so we just loaded up and came home. Not to mention the awful traffic on the way home. Took Buddy to the vet today, he has injured his back for sure and having trouble walking and made an appointment for my husband. Please pray for all of us. We have not had anything but awful trials and tribulations happen to us since the first of August. I pray it gets better soon for us. God bless ya'll. Waiting on more camping videos.

We absolutely love that KOA.. walking distance to Old Mill 🙂. Hope to be able to book there for August 2023. Those spots over by Patriot Park would be nice.

Another thing you might want to get is a fold up table. I know you might not have a lot of storage space but most campgrounds do not allow grills of any type on picnic tables because of burning the tables. We enjoyed the video!
