Kampgrounds of America (KOA)

If anybody ever decides to travel cross-country, Koa's are THE WAY to go. After driving all day, it was very relaxing to be camping, play games, and actually feel like we were on vacation. They were cheap, has clean showers, petting zoos, swimming pools, mini golf, pedal carts, volleyball, billards, and video game rooms (we are serious, they really had all of this).

Sunday Night: Rock Springs, WY KOA (not really a campground, more like a bunch of pebbles and one imported tree per camp site).















Monday Night: West Omaha, NE (a very nice campground, we found a monster, jumbo spider on our blow up matress, but other than that it was very cozy).














Tuesday Night: Middlebury, Indiana KOA. (This is the KOA that had the Cadallac couple with the yellow pup tent. There were also fireflies-Lightening bugs, as Jamie calls them-- and a large group of old couples with matching motor homes, all friends, and all of them from Ohio).















**Wednesday Night: Camp Taylor, New Jersey. We forgot to take a picture of our last campground, but it was actually a wolf reserve! Seriously! There was a sign at the entrance that you could take a tour of the wolf reserve pens. Quite exciting. There were also warnings that the campground was in bear country. We actually heard bears growling in the morning...until we realized they were not actually bears, but chainsaws (details). Nonetheless, it was exciting because we were only 70 miles west of New York City and were anxious to be done driving and get moved in to our home for the next few years.
