Apr 20 - Chesapeake Bay Thousand Trails, Gloucester, VA

  We spent the night at a hotel in Gloucester, VA.  Only one tornado warning alert, in which we went down to the hotel's cafe, and watched the live storm news and radar, as it went across our area, and towards the campsite on the peninsula we just left.  This morning, I got to take a long, hot shower--with strong water pressure and lots of hot water--enough to wash my hair, and shave my legs in the same shower time, without needing to turn off the water in between!  Oh, the simple pleasures of life!
  We settled into a nice camp site along the river.  This campground is the biggest one we have been to.  It has frontage along a very wide river, as well as along a small lake.  I would say this is a destination campground, especially for families.  This weekend is completely full, with lots of kids, golf carts, and large RV's.  Ours seem like a baby stuck in among these large ones. There are still lots of parking lot type of sites, which I do not prefer.  I also think I like the less populated campgrounds, although, that may have been the time of the year we visited (late winter, early spring), and now that it is warming up, the campgrounds are getting fuller.
  Finally did the laundry, walked a bit, had some ice cream.  Made dinner, hung around outside until dark.
