WHERE IN       THE WORLD IS       SAM?

Well, we have been traveling a little over a week and I haven't made another entry, as things have been pretty routine. What is ROUTINE? We stayed in a camp grounds in South Carolina and their was this wonderful pond but Mom wouldn't let me swim, something about it being an alligator habitat. Good thing we were only there one day.

We did stay 2 days in North Carolina where I got to play with a Springer Spaniel who had won trophies at the dog show.  In Virginia I got to play in a creek that was crystal clear and cool.

We are now in Pennsylvania just north of Hersey, PA. and it is beautiful! Days are in the mid 80's and nights mid 60's. Things called "hills" are all around and they are beautiful, but more important they are FUN to run up and down! I play with a Golden Retriever here. Can we get hills put in my dog park back at home?

I think Dad was upset on our way from VA to PA. Something about a gridlock on the Washington DC beltway. I only know we were moving very slowly. We hit another bog down when we got onto I-81 near Hagerstown, Maryland. We were actually stopped at times. Thank heavens,in both cases, it was only heavy traffic and road construction and not accidents that caused the hold ups.

We finally get to the camp ground over 2 hours later than we had expected. Everyone was tired but me (I was ready to play in the dog park). Setting up camp did not go so well. The jacks that level the RV didn't work right and Mom had to reset them. After several tries we finally got all set up. I think it was a good thing there was a restaurant on premise (with a full bar) so no one had to cook!

Mom says things run in 3's. Hope that is right. So far this trip the A/C's peed on the living room carpet, the refrigerator went from 38 to 50 degrees, and finally the jacks. Good thing that adds up to 3! Oh, about the pictures, I'm not sure the play ground with this plane was intended for dogs but sure was neat. You can see the beautiful hills in the background. We will be in Maine on the first. Then I get to SWIM everyday! I miss you all and will be back in touch. Love, SAM and Family

Back on the Road

                  WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SAM?

BOY oh BOY, I got so EXCITED loading the RV, running in and out with every load. Finally we are on the road and heading out. Then what happens? WE ONLY TRAVEL 2 hours! I made just as many trips up and down the steps and I'm not tired. You'd think these guys are retired or something.

We stopped at a place called Lake Panasoffkee, FL. Very "old Florida" with air boat rides and everything. This restaurant down the road even serves frog leggs. Yuk, I just thing their fun to chase.

Now on the walk to the dog park we encounter this black thing with a funny bark. He ran up and down the fence wanting to play. Now I'm a city boy and since this is the funniest dog I've seen I just barked and kept my distance.

I overheard Mom say we were site seeing on our way to Maine and it would take us about 10 days so I will keep you all posted on my travels.

So far Dad hasn't done anything too funny. However it did take him a full day to figure out how to open the umbrella over the patio table.  Go figure! I will keep you all posted on our adventures. Love, Sam (Mom, Judy and Dad, Chris too.)
