Our mission to help my son Brad and his family pack up so they can move has been completed. We have been packing boxes all week, and Saturday several strong able bodies helped load the moving truck. Packing a moving truck is like putting a giant puzzle together. Everything has to go in the right spot to keep the load from shifting and avoid breaking anything. It took most of the day to load the truck, and we were all tired afterwards; but, amazed that we were able fit so much stuff into that trailer.
Sunday was dedicated to cleaning up the house so the new buyers could move in on Tuesday. Our mission accomplished, we celebrated Sunday evening with Brad, Dawn, Brooke, Bradly, and Jacob by having dinner at Chili's. Then we said our good byes and headed back to Hide-A-Way Lake Campground to get ready to head out Monday morning. We hate to leave, but, it's time for us to move on. We still have a daughter in Indiana to visit.
We pulled out of Hide-A-Way Campground ready for the 1 1/2 hour drive to Joliet, Illinois. We were really glad to leave that campground and plan to never return to that place again unless they make some major changes.
We headed to Hollywood Casino Campground located in Joliet. We plan to visit with my college roommate, Doug, and his wife Pam. We had a really great visit with Doug and Pam. Pam waited on us hand and foot and made a great dinner. I have known Doug and Pam for 48 years and was glad they finally tied the knot earlier this year.
This is our site at Hollywood Casino, in Joliet, Illinois.
We thought about walking across the parking lot and trying our luck in the casino. But, we got back late from seeing Doug and Pam and we had a 190 mile trip to our next campsite in Indiana.

We pulled out of the Hollywood Casino Campground around 9:15 am avoiding the bulk of the morning rush hour traffic. We headed east on I-80, then south on I-65. Our next campground is White River Campground in Cicero, Indiana, just a few miles north of Indianapolis.
We are in site 91 at White River Campground, Cicero, Indiana
White River Campground is a county owned campground that is located on the White River and has 100 sites with paved roads, paved sites and full hook ups. We plan to stay here about nine days visiting my daughter, Jennifer, her husband, Neil, and their two sons, Logan and Grayson. We will get to spend Labor Day with Jennifer and her family. We also will get to see our daughter, Kristi, and her son, Sean, who will be visiting friends in the Indy area.
