It is that time of year for Darien Lakes Theme Park. The season is winding down and they are only open on weekends. That means we are down to our two day a week schedule. WOO HOO! That woo hoo is not only for the extra time off and more time to have fun, it is also because we are that much closer to getting back on the road. Like I said before, this our is two minute warning on the workcamping season.
We already have plans to visit a winery, some cider mills, a peach festival, watch the leaves change, and go to the Apple-Umpkin Festival. Yes, Apple-Umpkin is a real thing that happens every year in Wyoming, NY. It is also the home town of our boss at the General Store and she is so excited that we will be there to share it with her. That will be our last adventure before we depart Corfu,NY.
Now this whole time will not be all fun and games. If you have followed us for a while you also know that there is work to be done before we leave. The truck needs to be checked, all the tires need to be aired up, things that have been out while we lived here need to be stowed for travel, and a whole list of things that are part of the RV lifestyle. That will also be squeezed into our five day weekends. "Five day weekends". Sounds like every workers dream and it is part of our life. We are living the life, aren't we?
This year at Darien Lakes has been different from years before like everything else during the pandemic. Organized gatherings for the workcampers is something that HR usually does but was put on hold because of restrictions due to Covid, staffing, and time constraints. One of the workcampers decided to take it on herself to organize a dinner for the workcampers at a local restaurant and we got to meet and talk to a lot of people we have seen around but just didn't have the time to get to know. We now have new friends that we may see on the road, in Florida this winter, or even back here in New York next year.
Yes, we are seriously talking about coming back. There is a lot we haven't seen yet and we hope that next year we can go visit Canada. We also enjoyed spending time and working with the new friends we have made during this adventure. But that is next year and we haven't got the "jello" mixed yet alone set.
Well today starts our next three "two day" work weeks, which is the official start of the two minute warning, so I have to get ready for work. Until the next blog this is so long from our home in Darien Lakes because.....
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
