This year we chose to go to Washington D.C. on my daughters spring break and stay in Missouri for our summer vacation. Our first week was at the Lake of the Ozarks where we stayed at the Osage Beach RV Park. We had a great time and the park was an easy on easy off the highway. Kristin and I are very familiar with the Lake area having worked for the state DOT for the central region. We spent most of the time watching our daughter Katelin swim and eating out.
Our second week was spent at Johnson's Shut-In State Park campground. This park is in a remote area of Missouri where the closest cell service is a mile away and the camp store has the only wifi service in the campground. There are numerous trails including the Ozark Trail connection and places to play in the river. We also visited Elephant Rocks State Park which is within a few miles of the campground. Kristin and I have memories from when we were kids of our parents taking us to climb over the huge granite rocks.
We had a wonderful time on this vacation. Most of the jitters of pulling Oatmeal have past. It truly is a learning experience and my wife and I enjoyed the trip. See you down the road.
