Cornfields of Ohio

Here it was approaching 8 pm and it's time to find a place to eat and find the location of our next campground.  We are now hooked on KOA's because of their warm hospitality and clean facilities.  We drive upon an exit that seems to have all the fast food restaurants we could want.  Yes, believe it or not we have eaten our share of fast food while on the road, only when necessary.  So, I tell Art we better get off to eat before we get to the campground.  He says "no, I'm sure there's more up further!"  As we headed into the cornfields, and I mean literally we are out in the middle of nowhere, I could pretty much see there wasn't anywhere to eat unless we planned on picking our own from the gardens and killing a cow.  Lola (our nickname for our GPS) has us going in circles, she can't even get us to our destination.  Finally, out of nowhere we see a yellow KOA sign.  Even though Lola said to keep going straight, we followed the sign instead.  Thank God, cause right up ahead was the campground.  I'm now thinking that our cupboards are just about empty, but we have some left over ribs from the night before and plenty of candy from the factory.  We walk inside to check in and are greeted by the nicest couple who could see we where tired and hungry.  They didn't mind in the least making us some dinner at 9:50 pm at night and they even had a boy deliver it right to our site!  Not to mention they upgraded us to some premium site equipped with a 40 foot stone patio, a patio set, picnic table, pot belly fireplace, gas stove, and even the most adorable porch swing!  I could finally relax and unwind.  It was a perfect evening out there in the cornfields, the air was cool and the moon was bright.  The couple really wanted us to stay another day.  Gary (the owner) was going to make his special ribs for dinner Saturday night, and there was even going to be a wine and cheese party for the adults. Right up my alley!  But I knew at this point we are so close to home, no one wanted to stay the extra day.  And I was right!  So I did a quick 15 min. of yoga on my patio, had some coffee, grabbed breakfast in the cafe, grabbed a shower and off we went.  But not without thanking Gary and his wife for their warm hospitality.

What a beautiful morning in Ohio....
