Oh, am I stuffed! Dave and I had our Christmas dinner today. We are still at Cotton Hill Campground, but about two miles away is the George Bagby State Park and Resort. It's a nice state park, although it doesn't have a campground. But it does have a nice lodge, with hotel accommodations and a restaurant. We had noticed
a sign announcing a Christmas brunch for today (Sunday) for $13.95 (price is right!) so we decided to have that be our Christmas dinner. Excellent menu - we had roast beef, pork loin with blueberry stuffing, salmon wrapped in bacon, tons of vegetables including a delicious squash dish, a cra
b bisque, and a bunch of desserts including a "figgy pudding" (????). The brunch was from 11:00 to 3:00, so those of you who know Dave probably realize that he always wants to be last in line (...don't ask me why!). So we went about 2:00 and sure enough we were very close to being the last ones there. They actually did a pretty good job of keeping the food warm although I thought a couple things were maybe a little dried out. But we had a great meal and came home and I laid on the couch the rest of the afternoon while Dave summoned up the ambition to go out and fish for a few hours. I was SO proud of him!

I was SO proud of him!It was pretty cool today, probably didn't even hit 50, but it's supposed t
o be in the upper 50's tomorrow and in the 60's the next day. Plus it's still been sunny, so that's enough to keep us pretty happy! Yesterday we hung out at the park most of the day and just did "park things." In the late afternoon we went into the somewhat scary little town of Fort Gaines and stopped in at the only bar in town. It was actually kind of a cute place, called the Big Bad Wolf Saloon. Counting us, there were four customers in the place so it wasn't exactly jumping! But we got a beer and chatted with the owner and the bartender for an hour or so but probably won't make a point to go back there before we leave on Wednesday (... to tell you the truth, I'm not sure they're even OPEN during the week!). We love traveling down these side roads and visiting these small towns - we certainly see a part of America that probably a lot of other RVers don't ever see (which may or may not be a good thing!).

These are basically the only times that I feel bad about us being on our trip before the holidays - but when she told me they still haven't seen bare ground since right after we left, I find myself feeling quite relieved to be down here where the sun is shining and there's no snow.
Two more days here and then we move on to the next park. We always enjoy that anticipation - what's the next park going to be like??
