Last trip out in the coach for the year

We have been out with our local RV club, the Birds of a Feather, this weekend. This is our final meeting of the year and is our last time out in the coach. We actually are only about ten miles from the house at Twin Fountains RV Park here in Oklahoma City. We came over around noon this past Thursday and got set up in our site. My oldest son, Alex, works just a few blocks from here so he came over Thursday night and went to the Oklahoma County Line bar-b-que restaurant with us for dinner.

Friday morning started off with coffee and donuts with the club members in the clubroom provided by the RV park. Later we ran some errands and made a trip back to the house to pick up some things we forgot. In the afternoon we joined the other club members for a trip to the Oklahoma Firefighters Museum and Memorial here in Oklahoma City. This is a wonderful place that has been put together by retired firefighters from around the state. We have been meaning for some time to make a trip over there but had not gotten around to it. This was a fascinating tour and is highly recommended to anyone visiting the City. They have had to enlarge the museum a couple of times over the years as more fire companies donate their antique equipment. During the evening we all met at a Golden Corral restaurant for dinner. Before this we made a run back to the house to pick up some more stuff we forgot and then picked up Joanne's mother to join us.

Saturday stated with coffee and donuts again and then we pretty much relaxed for the day. In the late afternoon the group all got back together for our traditional end of the year/Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner we had a game of Dirty Santa as our gift exchange. Later we moved into the main part of the building, which had a nice fire place, and most of us watched the Robin Williams movie "RV". A few of the guys sat off to the side and watched the Oklahoma State/Colorado game on television. Another fun weekend with the Birds and a good way to close out the camping year.

Oh, the County Line -- one of my favourite places to eat, though we thought it looked a bit run down the last time we were there. Between all you can eat ribs and donuts for breakfast....

I'll just stop there, OK?
