2018 Fall Western Trip: Longwood Gardens and HOME

Thursday, 11/1:  371 miles and parked at Philadelphia SE KOA, Ruffs Dale, Pennsylvania

It was a long day with rain most of the day.  We landed to a very wet campground that afternoon and evening.  Sorry, no pictures.  Had a pull thru site, but had to unhook in the rain to level.  Not a bad campground, just the the rain spoiled it.  Had to walk the dogs between downpours.  

Friday, 11/2:  242 miles and parked at Brandywine Creek Campground, Brandywine, PA

We normally park at the West Chester KOA, but they had already closed for the season.  This family run campground turned out to be quiet and very pleasant.  We found out that officially they had closed for the season already, but since the weather was so nice they decided to stay open a few more days.  Its nice that a family operated campground can make those decisions.

Saturday, 11/3:  Longwood Gardens

One of our favorite places to visit is Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.  We have been there in the Spring and the Fall, and our favorite time is the Fall for the spectacular Chrysanthemum Festival.  I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Sunday, 11/4:  67 miles and parked at the Jonestown KOA, Jonestown, PA

It was a short drive today.  This KOA is open year round, and we have stayed here many times.  We opted for a steak dinner and fine red wine to celebrate our last night on the road.

Tomorrow we make the final run home, and then have to wade through two months of mail.  It was worth it!!

Monday, 11/5:  331 miles and HOME!!!!!

It was a routine drive today.  The total miles for the trip were 9,297 and we spent 60 nights on the road.  It was a great adventure.  The two Zoeys are already dreaming of the next one.  Thanks for following along and keeping us company.  Stay tuned for our future travels!!
