Under The Rainbow

August 9, 2014

Rob moving the RV so it's even...JK!  It already was even.

So, once the rain clears, we are treated to a rainbow.  

It was prettier in person.

All our neighbors come out to wonder at it and that's how we meet the dude next door who tells us he started a winery down by Cape May and then sold it. He does not offer us wine.  I leave to make dinner while Rob chats him up.  First things first, though.  I pour myself a nice martini in a Red Solo Cup with plenty of ice and go to work.  One of my favorite bbq recipes is to add honey to Heinz 57 sauce.  I toss chicken thighs with the sauce while Rob gets the coals going in the wood fire we already have.  Another toy we got was a portable grate which you can stick into the ground and then adjust to any height.  It also swings around to go off-fire so you don't kill yourself getting the food off.  Why bring our own?  If you are asking that question, you've never contemplated cooking your dinner on a rusty, food encrusted hunk of metal at a public campground.

Unfortunately, the weather has other ideas and from across the bay, another threatening set of clouds approaches.  These ones look like they really mean business.  I turn on the oven, just in case, but the clouds stay obediently over the water until our chicken is done.  I also throw a few (unshucked) ears of corn directly into the fire.  Meanwhile, I make yellow rice inside the RV like a civilized person.  We eat at our picnic table, with a view of the bay and a beautiful sunset.

Another example of my fabulous GoPro skills.

The kids retreat to watch movies on their laptops and Charlie dives into his book.  After clean up, it's time for a visit to the washroom, which was very clean.  It's nice to have the bathroom in the RV, but it's REALLY small.

This photo is actual size.

As you can imagine, exhaustion takes over and we close the curtains and fall into our pillows.
