Thursday, 13 July – Harbor View RV Resort, Colonial Beach, Virginia 22443

Another hot one today, 31C when we headed off at 10.30am.  Just 72 miles ahead of us to Colonial Beach, with a couple of stops along the way.  We drive through Tappahannock then cross the Rappahannock River, nope - not a typo!  Then take the scenic Hwy 3 up to Colonial Beach which lies alongside the Potomac River.

About to cross the Rappahannock River

Yep, def 99 degrees F

Photo to tease Kim - he still hasn’t had McD and its been 66 days!
Harbor View (reminds us of home) is only about 65 miles south of Washington DC central and is just two miles away George Washington’s birthplace!  Haven’t had much of a look around yet, just checked out the pool and surrounds, it is 39C outside so we stayed inside most of the afternoon, although I braved an hour outside in the shade and hot fresh air with my book.  This resort is probably the last Thousand Trails CG we will get to stay at until we get back south again, the southeast zone we purchased terminates in Virginia


There is no internet here although excellent cell coverage and we have TV.  The news is all about the local heat wave and today marks the hottest of the year, so far.  Thunderstorms threaten later but there’s only a 30% chance.  I like the way the meterologists cover their bases by suggesting a percentage of any possible weather event.  A movie keeps us entertained until it is time to turn in for the night.
