I wrote earlier about how we need to name the camper. We still have no name, but at one point, the Death Star was mentioned. My daughters are all in agreement that that is NOT going to happen. They had this fear that it would jinx us and something bad would happen. Like a crash... or an explosion...
Yeah... thanks for scaring me kids... especiallly after seeing a news report of a family recovering from a gas explosion after buying a used camper...
Back to the drawing board!

Cozy Acres Family Campground
Our second trip out in our new-to-us camper trailer this season was to Cozy Acres in Powhatan, VA. Nestled on what seemed to be a former farm, it was very welcoming and quiet.
The campground was full of amenities. We took advantage of the pool, playground, sand volleyball, and fishing pond. They also held an ice cream social and corn hole tournament, and had a Saturday night DJ which we all participated in. We missed the antique fire truck ride. The property was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. If it hadn't been 105 degrees all weekend it would have been perfect.
The sites are very nice and reasonably priced. We got a patio, picnic table, water, sewer and electric for $44 a night. We usually pay that for water and electric grassy, gravelly sites in Virginia Beach.
Troy and I, posing in the area they have set aside for free WiFi. The WiFi came in handy for my father-in-law, who has a hard time with the heat.
This was a free catch and release pond that was right across from our site. I was able to snag a cattail for my daughter, who wasn't with us.

Whatchamacallit
I really need to name it. We have had two trips out now in the "new to us" camper. It's time it gets a name. The tiny camper we were borrowing from my Dad was dubbed the "Skulls and Roses" camper. I read a blog about a traveler in his "Turnip Truck". I need something good to call the camper. Something catchy, like my husband's name (Pokey McButtonpusher). I think I would feel more connected to it. It is, after all, the headquarters for my Youtube Camper Cam. Camper Cam-quarters? Ick... nah. Our group of friends call themselves UBL (not explaining that one), and our plate says UBL mobile 2, but it doesn't stick with me. Not as a name.
I'll get it, and I'll get back to you.
