Welcome to the Roving ClubHouse, a BIG Thank You to Barb for her hosting duties that she performs so well, Love ya Sis ♥♥
Well summer is here, kidlets out of school time for summer trips and vacations. Some go nice and smooth and some go like one of mine did.
This was to be a wonderful camping and fishing trip for my family (Hubby, son & 4 dogs). Had my check list to ensure we wouldn’t forget anything seeing we were going to be there for a week.
Had our reservation in a lovely camping area called West Point Lake, each camp site was set up with a large pad for your tents and they also provided you with a large grill, canopy and table.
So we get everything packed in the truck, dogs and me in the car and off we go. The drive is around 1.5 hours to get there. Traffic was great got there without a hitch.
Arrival, 1st thing to do is set up the dog kennel, hubby and I start on this with our son playing with the dogs (who are a little crazy at this point from the ride in the car and they want to run) were almost finish when 2 of the dogs get loose and running all over the camp area, barking and chasing other peoples dogs (son trying hard to restrain the other on their leashes) I’m ready to kill them. Finally catch the little bees and I’m ready to load them back in the car and go home but we’re here for fun and relaxation. (Fine way to start)
Next is the tent, we have a large tent that will sleep 12 people or 3 people and 4 dogs. Moving on, an hour later the tent’s up, beds inflated (me don’t do sleeping bags) lights hung. Perfect.
Time to take a walk to the water, we have one of the best sites here, from our camp site you walk maybe 200 feet and your feet are in the water, just lovely. The boys get set to do some fishing and me, I go about making something to eat . The rest of the day was great. The weather was beautiful, not to hot and with a nice breeze.
Breakfast over and clean up, I head to water to catch some sun, what a day, water felt wonderful(hope I didn't over do it) but I’m ready to do a bit of fishing myself so I start to run back to our camp site to get my pole.
As I was running up the path I guess not really watching where I was going, I tripped and hit my head on a tree trunk and split my head open, geez that hurt. So I’m yelling for hubby I’m sitting there hand on my head blood running down my arm.
We leave our son at the site and make our way to find a hospital. A few hours later we’re back and I have 6 staples in my head.
It’s still early evening, the boys go back to fishing I go about dinner. And hopefully I get to fish some.
At last, I get my line in the water, catching some nice crappies (hubby & son have been doing really well) when hubby gets a really big bite on his line and yells for me to get the net as I jump up to grab it from behind him his line snaps his pole swings back and hits me right between my eyes and knocks me on my arse, ouch.
Enough fishing for me today, I head back to camp to read a bit and put an ice pack on my face and realize I have a nice sunburn.
It’s turning dark and starting to sprinkle a bit so the boys come back to camp, when hubby looks at me and says holly sh*t, I said what? He ask if I had looked at my face, no. So I do and wonderful, I’m not getting 1but 2 black eyes. What a wonderful day.
I gather the dogs and head to the tent as the rain is getting heavier, the boys take take of the pole, iced the fish and followed. We enjoyed a little TV and called it a night.
A few hours later we’re in the middle of really bad storm. (geez) the loud thundering and lightning are scaring the dogs then the worse thing, the damn tent starts leaking right above our bed, we move the bed and try to sleep.
Day break, the floor of the tent has about an inch of water, the dogs are wet and it’s still pouring down rain. What a way to start a vacation, I have staples in my head, 2 black eyes, a sunburn, a tent that leaks, wet dogs, all in the first 24 hours.
Please share some of your best or worse vacations ☺♥☺

and we manage to get her into the jeep and back to the condo. I asked where the local hospital was and we were informed that since our plane was leaving soon we would be better off going home due to the lack of medical care there. I gave her some aspirin for pain since that is all we had.
She slipped and fell about 20 feet onto another rock ledge. Fortunately the rocks were there to catch her or she would have fallen into the Caribbean which was far below. I could tell that she had a broken wrist and she complained that her back hurt. I wrapped her wrist with a scarf that I had
The day that we were leaving we took a morning adventure along a deserted rocky shoreline which was a high elevation overlooking the Caribbean. My mother-in-law is German and often climbed mountains in her country. She decided to go up to one of the highest overlook points. She was wearing sandals
My family decided to take a vacation to Antigua in the West Indies some time ago. My mother-in-law went along. It was a beautiful vacation in a lovely condo surrounded by amazing flora and fauna and the brightest blue waters I have ever seen. We had a lovely week.
