Camping in the heat wave

Nanny and Papa, the Kissacks and our crew headed out to Kentucky this past week to camp at the Boonesborough State Park. The Creation Museum was only an 1 1/2 away so we made plans to all go, since the elder Brocks and ourselves had never been. It was a really good museum and well worth the drive all the way to CAN TUCK AAY. The heat was outrageous, even in the lovely mountains, but they had a nice pool with a fairly decent water slide, so the kids all had a blast. I had a rather lovely time myself, although I had to drug myself every night in order to sleep through the racket of the camp (rather close sites) and the sand quarry just behind the trees. We also took in the Fort at Boonesborough, it was the site where Daniel Boone made the first settlement on the banks of the river. We got in free during camper appreciation day, and it was really excellent. Though I must say, I love that kind of thing. There were all kinds of people in period pieces doing their certain skill, and it was fun to pick their brains. I even got to speak personally with Daniel Boone himself. He was a rather soft spoken Quaker looking man. I will post pics later. The 6 hour drive home took 10, well we did stop a whole bunch, it seems like we had to eat every few hours, and the boys wanted to stop in Gatlinburg and look at the largest knife store this side of the Mississippi.
