We went to Riverbend County Park for Fourth of July this year. The campground was packed full of people and where we were was surrounded by trees and bushes, so it was private. We set up and enjoyed a quiet night tucked away from other people and off the main road entrance. People walked by, and kids rode bikes past us, but everything was really quiet, and at one point we saw some rabbits playing along the edge of the woods.
At the entrance of the park is a Little Free Library, so of course we had to check it out.
It was Fourth of July, so of course we had to put out our American flags around the camp spot and on the bus.
Skylar immediately set up the hammock and fell asleep shortly after. I had to take Hardy from him, because Hardy wanted to run around a little. We have a travel run that we bring on trips, so that Hardy feels like he has freedom, but can't leave a certain parameter of area that we are able to control depending on where we are.
After we ate dinner we went and explored the surroundings. Every campground spot was taken up by a camper, RV, or tent and it was neat seeing how everyone set their spots up to make it "theirs." We always like walking the areas where we camp, and get and idea of where we are and what's around us. We also like to see things that other people use and get some ideas on what we can get for our bus, too.
Once the sun went down we set up our Fourth of July lights along the outside of the bus and closed all of the curtains. We are still in the process of putting permanent curtains up on each window, so for now we have loose curtains that we use to block out prying eyes.
The following day was actually Fourth of July, so we ate breakfast, did a last walk through the park and checked out. We are hoping to create a kitchen area on the side of the bus eventually, so that we don't have to use the picnic table. We have so many ideas for our bus still to come.
Once we got back to home base and unloaded what we needed to unload, we climbed on top of the roof of the bus and watched the city's firework show and shot off a few of our own.
It was such a great Fourth of July and we are definitely going to be repeating this trip again next year!
