They feature 112 large landscaped and [aved RV site with Full Hookups, including 20/30/50 Amp, Water, Sewer, Cable TV & WIFI Wireless Internet and a picnic Table and patio at each site -

We were here with our Alabama Airstream Group -

for the Hot Air Balloon Festival 

We'd reserved a site in the middle of the group, hoping to get to know everyone better. But when we got there we found we'd been moved to a different site...

We enjoyed the pool one afternoon... 

spent a day thrift shopping...

And relaxed at our camper a bit - 

We were close to the club house where 

we met together for music and a shrimp boil - yum.

This is a nice urban campground

[- I love a good even concrete patio!]

... with few trees or shade.

What a difference our awnings make over those small windows!

The rally was centered around the Hot Air Balloon Festival, 

so Craig and I headed over that way 

a couple of evenings to see the balloon glow -

 

This festival is VERY different than what we're used to in Decatur...

 [In Decatur we're on the field before 7 while they are inflating for their flights -]

The schedule stated it opened at 11 each day, 

well after the balloons take flight...

So if you go to the field / festival 

you're really only seeing tethered balloons... 

But when they are all lined up

they're a beautiful sight

 

We've been on the go for a few weeks now...

so we headed home early on Sunday morning.

I love seeing the sun filter through the fog!

But I didn't love only being able to see one car in front of us.

It burned off soon enough though -

and it was good to be home.
