Thanks Amy, but there is a Cracker Barrel right on I-75 so we'll just stay there. Oh, and if you're not a camper or motorhomer, Cracker Barrels are very motorhome friendly. They will let you stay in their parking lot overnight for free. You don't have to eat there to stay, but it is the courteous thing to do. If we come, we'll be stopping in Elkhart, IN along the way on Saturday. Elkhart is the "Motorhome Capital of the World" and there is a surplus store we like to stop at to see what kind of goodies they might have that we "need." Then we'll be moving on to Findlay and the Cracker Barrel for the night. Then Sunday we would bring the motorhome to the park since we won't have any other vehicle along, and after everyone leaves Sunday, we'll either start heading back home or stay at the Cracker Barrel again if it gets kind of late.

I know this is getting kind of long, but the very first night we were out with the motorhome, we stayed at a Cracker Barrel in Murfreesboro, TN. After dinner we came back out to the motorhome and watched some TV. It was so fun! It felt like we were in our own little cocoon and the world was just going on around us without touching us. So, odd as it sounds, I love staying overnight in parking lots now. And we are completely contained so we don't need the hookups of a campground.

But thanks for the offer anyway. I'm really hoping things don't work out for Terry's trip to Germany and we can make it. What a great way to spend Memorial Day weekend!

And now you're all thinking "Great, this weirdo from Chicago is coming. She likes staying overnight in parking lots for crying out loud!"
