College Park, MD

 We are staying at the Cherry Hill Park.  We have a great lot on the end with a patio area for the picnic table and a fire pit in the trees behind the trailer.  The place is huge, our site number is 1221.  There are over 1700 sites.

 One of the two available pools.  There is a sauna and hot tub also.  On right is the Star Cafe.  It has a pretty extensive menu.

 Conference Center, it has rest rooms, laundry, the cafe, game room.  Information sessions are held here daily about touring DC.  A movie is shown outside behind the center.  There are two ponds on the grounds.

Two playgrounds help keep the kids entertained.  As large as this place is it is well maintained and well run.  A nice treat after the ones of the last week.


The drive today was white knuckled.  Once we hit Virginia the traffic randomly slowed down to almost parking lot slow.  The drivers were just plain bad, a sign would say the lane was closing but they didn't move until they absolutely had to, right at the arrow. If we were in a car it wouldn't have been so bad but when you are 40 feet long it is a whole different ball game.  There is no place like home!

This campground is the closest one to DC.  The bus stops right at the campground to take you to the train station.  We will probably take the truck to the station and take the train so we don't have to worry about parking.

This is the third attemp to post this entry.  The first just disappeared, the second one the pics were all messed up and then wouldn't save, fingers crossed that this is the one that will work.  Lots of pics tomorrow, see you then.
